What was the price of a typewriter in 1995?

Answer 1

In 1995 computers were the rage. Typewriters and electric typewriters were used for multipart forms at the time. There were even computers, software and printers that could handle multiple part forms for the government, car dealerships and insurance companies. So the typewriters began to be obsolete. At that time I could get a refurbished IBM Selectric with all their best features and even some memory in it for $25 at the repair shop or at used typewriter places. You could get new ones with some word processing features for $200. Now I can get a good computer for $200 either new or refurbished. The poor man in the repair place had over one hundred typewriters for sale then.
