4. Typewriters - Estimated Value $800-$1,000

Typewriters dominated before laptops, tablets, and desktop computers started to be familiar sights in companies and households all around. During the 1960s, they were quite popular since they let everyone—from students to office workers—write up their papers and assignments quickly. These mechanical tools sped up and organised the writing process, therefore changing the means of communication. Though they had several drawbacks, such the difficulty to quickly fix errors without messy correction fluid, typewriters had particular meaning for many people. Vintage typewriters are quite sought-after collector's objects nowadays. Depending on the state and rarity of your brand—IBM or Underwood—you may get up to $1,000 for your antique typewriter. Collectors value not just the workmanship these devices produce but also the nostalgia they bring about, therefore capturing a bygone period in communication technologies. Having a vintage typewriter is like having a piece of history still enthrals both authors and aficionados.
