Keyboard

I won! I have been visiting eBay to look for a used Mac keyboard since last week. I know I could've just bought a regular PC USB keyboard, but after the last one I got, a "Microsoft 4000" that died only after one year, I thought I should stop cheating and go back to Apple. My iMac is like the 1st or 2nd generation model anyway, so it wouldn't make sense to buy a new, "wireless," or "bluetooth," keyboard. I just need something basic and in working condition. Where else can I find one like that? Yes I thought about Craiglist, but I felt more comfortable buying it off eBay.

In the end I paid $30.56 (including shipping) for a used black color + transparent keyboard. It was in an OK shape as its back was scratched. After I won the bid and finished the payment, I saw one of those related ads showed up in the log out page - I saw the same keyboard could go as low as $28 total and in a brand spanking new condition too! Oh well - Too late!
