How much are you asking for? It looks quite dirty from the photo.

[deslok]

It will be cleaned before shipping. And part if that is it's color with the lighting as well. As far as how much they still for around fifty on ebay and are heavy to ship. Make me an offer in btc keeping that in mind

Actually, I had come across them at a tech swapmeet at the local Northrop Grumman site. I had grown up using the model M on my old 286/386 and 486 machines. I love the loud clack and springed keys on it. Thats my current desk keyboard. The reason there are 24 is because 25 is in use.

I've seen tons of discussion by many people who swear by them as the absolute best keyboards of all time.  In fact, I believe there's a company that makes a living by selling replica Model M keyboards but with USB ports (and maybe Windows keys).

Most definitely worth something, hehe.  Oh, and as for whether or not the OP's keyboard is dirty, apparently you can run it through the dishwasher somehow - I forgot the details, but they're sturdy things.

Yeah I do swear by them I have about three actually but figured this was the right place to part worth one. As for washing it all the keys can be removed so you can run then through with a mesh bag and the keyboard itself splits  into a to bottom and middle section the to and bottom can be run thorough a dishwasher
