Yet another Ebay tale of heartbreak…
I should have known better. I have a “No Ebay” rule for a reason – because Ebay sellers rarely pay any attention at all to my packing instructions and the shipping companies seem to have a personal grudge against typewriters. I was so excited to find this Signature 511D on Ebay that I just went […]
