What a beauty! I might want one too!

Good luck man!

I would also suggest you reach out to typewriter communities to see if they have any info if you haven't already.

Today I found a post on a Spanish marketplace with pic of a selectric with blue caps, and I thought: just what this guy in DT was looking for!
But it was someone looking to buy one just like you.

I will keep an eye on it just in case.

Too bad.. demands are high!

Thanks man! Please let me know if you hear anything about it.

These were indeed rare; I've seen one going for $500 at some point.

Riptide666 · 27 Oct 2020, 15:14

It will very likely be out of my budget eventually lol. Thanks anyway : )

Now $442 with still one day to go... doesn't look like it will end cheap.

Deus_LB · 01 Nov 2020, 18:51

$512.

You mean the one recently sold? Yep, I saw that. Too much for a set in bad condition.
