Brooksaw Antiques purchased 1959 Olympia SM3 Script No. 75 on 2026-06-18 for $259.00 on eBay and relisted it, likely with almost no real work, on 2026-06-26 at eBay for $2,000.
Reduced by 20% days later to $1,600.
Both have the same serial again. Resellers like this are not doing any favours for the community. Brooksaw: https://www.ebay.com/itm/318227695061 Kyle’sLost&Found: https://www.ebay.com/itm/157839087546
The typewriter community not appreciating Brooksaw Antiques buying a typewriter for $200 and then, upon receipt, posting it for $2,800 as "near mint" without any servicing beyond cleaning the slugs.
