This is up for sale on a local auction-site, the seller is asking 800 DKr (1US= 5.02 DKr) I kinda want it for my IBM-collection but .. Is he asking way to much ?
Could probably get a near-mint Model F for the same and frankly, I want that even more !
On the other hand, this IS practically a Model F, just BIGGER, so ..Since the site allows 'Make an offer' :
Should I go Marrakesh-market on this guy or is the asking-price in fact fair ??

At first I thought "$16 is not a bad price".

Then I realized I left out a zero...

Interesting. Must have been refurb'd by a Dutch servicer at some point.

Too expensive, these went for much much less on ebay last time I checked. Even with the shipping costs it would cost you half.

If it sells, it's the right price

A guy on ebay Fr tries to sell an azerty Model M for 80€ for weeks, and no bid.
Way too expensive so.

With DANISH layout ??

It's difficult to say whether international versions increase the value because they are more rare, or decrease it because a smaller national market is potentially interested in them, and there is less demand.

Me, I collect IBM, but 'm not interested in international versions of IBM keyboards. I use the Dutch Model Ms I find for spare parts. Might be a different story if you really want that Danish version and you have been looking for it for a while. I think some international boards sold for premium prices at clickykeyboards, compared to ordinary ones. But he's a slow-seller. He'll wait for that guy who desperately wants that particular version. If someone puts such a board on ebay, only few eyes will check it out in the time the auction is running, and it might be won very cheaply.
