I had planned to bid on that ten-dollar Remington, but forgot when the listing was ending. Dammit. And I have found that if a seller lists a typewriter as "Funky Industrial Retro", it tends to sell for more than it should. And I'm NO expert. If the typewriter happens to be orange, red, yellow or duck-egg blue, then it fetches an even better price.

As usual, the best photographed machines yielded the best prices. Some machines got silly expensive and some were random bargains. I was the only bidder on a cheap Rheinmettal.<br /><br />Many of the glass key machines I took a peek at had apparent "crafters" as bidders. Their bidding records included lots of typewriters with interspersed craft supplies.<br /><br />Congrats on your new purchases. Those are nice looking machines.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.com
