It amazes me that you can buy a WWII-era or earlier typewriter for less than $50 (sometimes less than $10Originally posted by Dan46 View Post

Seems to be the going price (if it is truly in good shape).Comment

The price seems about right. A few years ago, they used to go for close to a grand, but the decline in the economy has brought them into the reach of us mere mortals. I've seen a few for a little bit cheaper, but when you factor into it shipping from Germany (which isn't cheap on something like a typewriter), that seems like an acceptable price.Comment

I made an offer of $325.I will let you all know what happens.
