Title: Original (old logo) IBM electric typewriter, working, $27 shipped
Post by: ander on Mon, 27 July 2015, 03:30:59

How can you resist? An original IBM old-logo, pre-Selectric "Executive" electric typewriter—ready for restoration, but still working:

...with a BIN of just $14.99 plus $11.55 shipping. Even if it weren't so adorable, I'd be tempted to order it just to see how someone could possibly ship it so cheaply.

They couldn't. Shipping will be $25-30 if they can find a way to do it slow-slow ground.

Believe me, I have had shipping end up at more than the total selling price including shipping, and it is painful.

But only an ass would go back to the customer for more money.

That'll only get you its typebar. The seller is parting it out.

A little sad to see this parted out...I'd love to own one (not that I need it, or even have the room for it  :p).
