Yay! It worked! Sorry if that was annoying.

Hello,I recently picked up two typewriters that were on sale for Black Friday for 5 bucks each. The Smith Corona is in working condition, types smoothly and has a case and manual. The Royal needs some sprucing up and de-sticking (which I intend to do) but is also in working condition and has a cover and manual. If I were to put them up on ebay (separately) what would be a reasonable amount to ask?Thanks.

Hi!
So I'm trying to post something with two photos, but every time I try to post, it gives me something to make sure I'm not a bot. When it does my message is erased and I can no longer include photos in my message. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi! I'm fairly new to typewriters, but I've always wanted one. I recently found a Royal FP at a local thrift store that seemed to be in good condition (albeit very sticky) for $9.00. After some de-sticking and dusting I noticed the type guide doesn't pop up like I assume it should when I press the keys. Is something broken, or could I be loading the ribbon incorrectly? Also, if I'm looking at the right place, the serial number is FPE-13-6801043, but I'm not getting any results for it on The Typewriter Database. Is there another way to pinpoint when it was made? Thanks.
