Soooo... I may have accidentally bought an IBM Model F AT for... $5!
By accidentally I mean it was a Focus FK-5001 box and listed as such on OfferUp.

I had no idea just how good of a deal I was going to get when I headed there on my way to hanging out with friends... He ran it out to me in the ...
