There don't seem to be any shops that sell them, I haven't found any antique stores or flea markets with typewriters, and even searching around the Balkans hasn't turned up much. The biggest problem is shipping. Most typewriters I find online are relatively affordable, but the delivery costs are often $200+ sometimes several times the price of the typewriter itself. Does anyone know of a better way to get one? Are there any local websites, groups, or classifieds I should check? Any antique dealers or collectors in Montenegro or nearby countries? Has anyone brought one across the border or found one through another method? Any tips for avoiding the huge international shipping costs? I'm specifically looking for a vintage mechanical typewriter that's still usable (preferebly a royal, or olympia sg1) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. God bless.

I'm not big into dreams, nor do i beleve in the sense of predicting the future by ungodly means. But, I had a really "interesting" dream that still bothers me.

Well actualy, two dreams. The first dream wasn't anything serious, an absurd one, if I say so. I woke up to drink some water, and got back in bed. Then i dreamt that I was going to my aunts. Her son died recently. And it was dark outside, i was walking towards the building, and as im entering the building, a man is walking down the stairs in my direction. He looked weird, the best way i can describe him is handsome and well dressed, in a black and blue suit. Then as we walk one by the other, I catch a glimpse of him turning his head to look at me. When I turned to see why is he looking at me. He grabbed me by my shoulders. And draged me into a hallway near the original halway i was in. It had a pair of stairs one going up and the other beside it going down, between them was a PITCH black border, a fog, completely JET BLACK. And it was weird because, it was the dead of night outside, and that border of fog, or just color was too dark. I only knew it was a staircaise that goes down, because i saw the reflection of the light on the lacquered wood handrail. It was really beautifuly carved wood, with "pilliars" supporting the handrail. And the staircase going up was basic, i couldn't see where that staircase goes, i just know it went up, and the other down. And as I stood there gripped by him, he got extremely close to my face. To the point that the farthest up that i could look was his forhead and the farthest down his chin. And the only thing he said was in a calm, dissapointed, but slightly hateful cold tone "God is ashamed of you" (or in my language "Bog te se stidi"). Then he let me go, he perished and at that exact moment I woke up.

This was the biggest punch in the gut i could get, throught my whole life i tried as hard as i can to be faithful to god, I simply love god. And to experience something like this in the midst of a spiritual battle im currently waging against a sin. It shattered me completely for that moment, even now. Its either a warning, or the devil trying to trick me.

What could this mean. Thanks for any indication. And pardon me if the question is silly, or the english sloppy

I had a verx extensive debete on what typewriter to get. I was debating between the Royal KMM, and the Underwood master. And finaly decided on the Royal KMM. Buuuuut of course, by my misfourtune, I was scrolling at ebay, and found a tested used IBM selectric II for 386$ with shipment included. So could you please help me choose. I simply cannot. I usualy prefer the look of old time machines, such as 1920-1940s style, but now found out a beautiful green selectric that i like. Now i simply cannot choose. Please help!!

Edit: The seller has realy :positive score" of 5682, and 99.8 positive feedback. Its a trift shop, but on ebay
