Yeah I know the "Junk" ones. Luck of the draw there. I chose working ones so I didn't have to source parts once it arrived.

About $80 USD for SAL for the keyboard, three dreamcasts and a Saturn. I'm sure there is cheaper but I like to go for ones in good condition with good expansions. Also you need at least a 486 to play the later games like Touhou

That isn't true. I have in no way attempted to defraud the seller or damage his reputation. Here's the beginning of the conversation for proof (I can show more of it but I WILL black out personal information and the threat he made against my life as it contained my home address!) Sounds like to me …

I used Noppin to deputy the auction for me and ship it from Japan to the US. I bought a PC-9821ap2 at a total cost of about $179 USD after conversions and fees, a keyboard for $40 (shipping was essentially free as I had them package some old Dreamcasts and a Saturn in the same box), and I also am …

According to the thread I encountered he was abused by his dad. But I'll quote your post here Jade: Now this guy is a true scumbag. He sold me a q9650 ES that was advertised as being unlocked, a early batch of these cpu's were unlocked. maybe a 100 or so. after that they were all locked. I opened a …

Alright, I feel I've made my case here. I did take what was said a bit too personally. As for anyone here who has concerns about selling to me, all I can say is that when buying in a private sale on dozens of forums I have never had a single complaint, usually because the seller is very …

I had no idea of his reputation prior to buying the item. And I assumed it was a mechanical M13 due to the wording of the listing and the design. I was only ever aware if mechanical M13s, not rubber dome ones. It was only in the course of this whole thing that discovered Vogons. One of the reasons I …

Google the model number and Unicomp. The first page of Google has no useful information. And no, I dont consider it my responsibility to dig through pages of useless Google results to find a reference to it. That is for everyone who claims I'm some predatory buyer asshole. That isn't the case. …

I did not extort the seller for feedback, so as far as eBAy policy goes, you're wrong. Of course, feel free to quote the exact policy if you thought I did wrong. I can't believe after how the guy supposedly threatened you that you'd try to characterize me as some sort of predatory buyer. And see the …

Well I'm buying a 1980s PCM keyboard from Goodwill. We'll see if they ship it right! Right now they have that Timex-ZX Spectrum clone im eyeing.

Think what you want man but if you don't collect vintage keyboards it's a seriously ridiculous thing when someone claims it's identical to the M13 (which the ones made by LexMark and Maxiswitch are as you referred, clicky/buckling spring) and it turns out to be some cheap rubber dome shit. The model …

Well, the case was decided in my favor and I get to send the item back to his dickface. www.ebay.com/itm/112303509674 Here's the original listing. There was no indication to me that I wasn't buying an actual Model M. Why is it somehow my f-ing responsibility when the seller describes the keyboard as …

It did have photos, but you can't tell from a photo that a keyboard isn't buckling spring. I assumed from the advertised title of Unicomp M13 keyboard (some other numbers in there too that I googles but didn't come up with anything recent) that it was a clone of the M13 by IBM. It is anything but …

I am not suffering Buyers remorse. The seller didn't accurately describe the item, likely out of ignorance then refused to work with me. His conduct is ridiculous, especially threatening legal action.

I paid for it. It hasn't shipped to me yet. Once it's here, I'll come back on and post pics.

So I bought a Unicomp Model M13 from this guy. I thought I was getting the buckling spring design that IBM was known for and that Unicomp has continued. Here's the ghostbin for everyone's amusement. Yes, I'm a crap speller, sorry: https://ghostbin.com/paste/4z97w More confirmation of blacklisting …
