A friend of mine in US has some Model M white and blue label in good shape + one NIB (this model) + one M13 with split spacebar + one SSK which needs quite a bit of restoration. All ANSI of course.

I'm taking the SSK for myself of course and I'm wondering if there's interest in the other boards. The standard (not NIB) Model Ms are pretty cheap, but of course there will be shipping to me and shipping to you (and maybe a very little duty tax). I guess they may end up in the €50-60 range.

The NIB one is really NIB. The box is opened but the styrofoam is still taped (it has never seen UV). I don't know yet how much he wants for that. Same for the M13.

If interested we can share shipping costs that will be Express (not standard priority).

Wonder if shipping will be cheaper without Denmark involved? Ouch…

I could always be interested, of course. ANSI is a plus.

Just recalling what happened the last time we tried a Model M group buy.

Great NIB keyboards + at a good price + DANISH SHIPPING = oh well.

Fortunately, that last part isn't a problem this time.

oh okay, I see what you mean. Shipping to you should be €22 (I don't have a full Model M anymore can't weight it)

Edit: but the cost of the keyboard might be actually even lower

I think Model Ms are meant to be around 2.5 kg when shipped. Peter said it was tough to pack two and not exceed 5 kg.

More details, and some pictures, would be nice.

My 102-key ISO Model M (1391403, black label in the upper left) weights in at 2450 g including cable, without packaging. It's definitely more than 2,5 kg including packaging.

I must resist the lure of the M13, someone claim it please.
