A price list for typewriters is available now in the members area. Since 2003, Peter Muckermann has collected ebay prices and published them in the HBW-Aktuell. These data have been reassembled and edited. The list contains prices in the form "minimum - medium - maximum" for a lot of typewriter models, many of them with state description.
