Oh, you'd be surprised at what's out there.  But, you are right about there always being "aestheticopaths" out only to make a buck.  Some people have no sentimentality--they never have--they never will.  Pity these poor people, because nothing touches them, and nothing warms them.  They walk the Earth without hearts.  They know no generosity, perhaps because none was offered to them.  Perhaps they know no love for the same reason.  They do not seem to exhibit the mental capacity for anything other than to acquire personal gain--money.

The only thing which bother me about this thread is, if you were the type of sociopath who would destroy irreplaceable technological artifacts for short term movie money, and they are manifold, might you not use this thread as a shopping list?

I'd like to save more typewriters than I can store right now but I am not quite ready to pull the trigger on monthly rent for a storage locker.

This complete and utter a-hole is at it again; apparently the email that I sent him had absolutely no effect. What kind of antique store is it that destroys antiques for a buck? This time the butcher has a '40s Royal portable on the block...  http://www.ebay.ca/itm/112302809380?ul_noapp=true

This Underwood typewriter "is in like new, everything works smoothly, has ribbon, good working machine."
The ad continues: "One negative is I lost the keys (what a burr head) but they are readily available on e-bay for less than $10.00." 

SMH.

If I was more tech savvy, I'd make one of those internet memes that says:
"one does not simply LOSE typewriter keys!"
