Remington Standard 6 a good buy?
A Remington Standard 6, the blind strike one.
Saw one for sale. About $150 including shipping. It seems in pretty good shape, no staining on the keys, it works, etc.
Whats the going price for one of these?

Well I hear they go for a pretty penny normally, so $150 isn't too bad if it's in good condition. But it's up to you.

$150 isn't bad for such an early typewriter if in nice, functional condition. If it's a machine you've been looking for, and you are pleased with the condition, that is a pretty good price.

Re: Remington Standard 6 a good buy?
You really should make sure it will be packed right, no matter what. First off it's a reasonably valuable and difficult to find machine, and that enough could make one wary. Also, Remington blind writers use WOODEN key levers along with some other parts that would easily break if not immaculately packed. Honestly, I'd be nervous just carrying one up the stairs..

Re: Remington Standard 6 a good buy?
I passed on it. I emailed the seller earlier about packing and they never replied....

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I just had a dream about not one, but TWO early remingtons! One was a 6, and one was a two or a four.
