And it even has this special character...
The section mark “§” is also widely known as the double S vertical symbol.

Re: Puzzling....Hermes 3000S Typewriter
Hey Mike,
Be careful with these machines offered on eBay out of Japan.
More than once I have seen a machine offered by not just one seller, but sometimes by 2-3 other sellers in different parts of Japan. All using the same set of photos and prices ranging from $ 200 to $ 500 or so.
Pretty sure that must be some kind of money scam.
Sellers usually have a short selling history and usually offer very cheap "trinkets" for sale.

Ok.
Actually thinning the herd a bit. I sold 6 last week to friends at a meeting of our typewriter club. Continuing my policy of buying high and selling low.
