Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
Geeze! I almost placed a bid on that one when it was first listed. I was going to go back later. I think it started very low (which is a great selling strategy, IMO). It's way out of my league now!

Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
I'm actually very surprised it went so high, especially seeing as it is listed as 'not working'. It looks to be in good shape, but gosh!
I think my husband got my No 5 for oh... maybe $120-150, and it was sort of working. It is missing some parts that this one has though, but not sure if the 5 had all those parts anyway.

That is bloody awful! No good as a TW or as a lamp - who the hell would buy it.
Sincerely,

That lamp! So stupid! It looks like it's fastened on with zip ties. I suppose you could take it off. Bleh.
Here's one. It's a little on the expensive side because of the 'glass keys'

Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
Good one. Just the 98.8% rating that seller has should be enough to dissuade anyone. Someone should tell him that they're not green glass keys, but actually emeralds.

Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
Tell him that they are probably emerald, just in case, so you can't get in trouble...

Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
Haha, emerald. They could also be hand carved jade I guess. Anything is possible.
