Type Talk » What should a Hermes 3000 cost? » 07-9-2014 10:09:58

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Uwe, I'm in Southern California. The one being advertised is very close to me, which is appealing because there's no need to worry about shipping or possibly inaccurate item descriptions.

I don't know the year the typewriter was made (I need to ask him that) but it's the curvy design like in your photo.

Clark, I think I made the mistake of checking the eBay completed listings rather than the sold listings. Good point. I'll go back and look at that again.

Yes, I'm a beginner, so I do want a machine that works well. I don't have the know-how and experience yet to restore a non-working machine. (Though that's next!)

Beak, what do you think a reasonable offer would be?

A guy near me is offering a seafom Hermes 3000 for $300 or best offer. I don't want to pay $300, I think that's way too high. But I don't know what a reasonable offer would be. He says it's in good working condition. Pictures look great. It has a case but no manual. Some damage to the case.

I checked the finished eBay listings for that model and it was no help, because the prices paid ranged form $50 to $350.

Thoughts?

This is my first vintage typewriter. I found this bad boy at an antique shop for $44. Works great! It was pretty clean, too. Two sticky letters that were easily fixed, even by a newbie like me. I'm happy!

Oh. I totally want a typewriter pen pal.

I just got one very similar to that, except mine is a Royal KHY. Looks very much the same as yours except that it doesn't have the glass windows in the sides and mine is matte finish instead of shiny. I got mine for $44 at an antique store. Works 100 percent fine!

I've seen those online for $1,400, but I can't imagine anyone actually paying that. I'm not sure where the seller is getting his/her information.
