I'm still actively failing to get my hands on a nice Lettera. As you know, I would be equally very happy with either. I think you must allow yourself more leeway in the budget than I do. The colours are great too. Happy Typewriter Day Piotr!
Too much leeway - definitely. I'm working on it though. And speaking of which - keeping both of these two is not financially viable I'm afraid so maybe we can kill two birds with one stone here... Happy TD to you too!
OK, let's cut to the chase - you are keeping the Scribe, right? Better paintwork, more unusual... and that leather case... But how do I make you an offer for the Lettera without insulting you? Put it this way, a good, honest 22 (though maybe not as early - embossed paper rest and all) seems to generally slip out of my reach when they go around the £25-£30 mark. They slip like this because I use Auction Sniper (to save me from myself) and it simply has the effect of always being the penultimate bid. Someone out there must also use Auction Sniper but with deeper pockets. But are we in the same £20 - £30 ballpark or on different planets? Make a suggestion, I dare you :-)
