"Duuuuude, what is this?"
"Aw crap man, that's a typewriter! Those things are like worth thousands!"
At least, that's the conversation that played through my head when I imagined what could have caused the seller to make such an exorbant price and top notch description on this typewriter.
I really hope those watchers put it on their watch list for their own amusement, not because they were seriously considering buying it.

Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
I'm on my phone right now so it's a pain to post a link, but there's currenly a cursive/script typewriter that's described as typing "beautiful scripture".
I think it's just a translation error, but it made me chuckle.

You have to laugh that the first photo is of the back of the machine - it's best side in this case. At first I thought, "wow, a willow green Royal FP, that's nice," but then came the pictures of the rest of the typewriter. I'd drop a maximum of 1 percent of his asking price on that machine.

I'm not sure that shirt would go with anything else I have in my wardrobe this season!

It certainly got my attention if that's what they were going for! 
And that's a neat 'little' Adler too. Not sure why they chose the background
A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.

Re: Best laugh in typewriter ads
If you have an Adler, I guess it would go with that. ;)
