In mint condition, an antique machine can set you back over $300. However, A Repeat Performance on First Ave. in the East Village has a great collection of vintage typewriters (in styles ranging from His Girl Friday through 9 to 5) for pretty decent prices.

I'd love one as a doorstop, or tucked in amongst some paperbacks for a little bookshelf garniture.
Or better yet, pull out that ream of 20 lb. Crane and handtype the invites to your next soiree--or make your own personal stationery/ransom note. A little steno pool chic goes a long way.
If you're feeling especially craft-happy (don't despair - it's perfectly healthy!), buy a selection of antique typewriter keys and dress up your drab drawer pulls and cabinet knobs. A handfull in a glass bowl could be sorta curio-licious, n'est-ce pas?
Mavis Beacon would be oh so proud.
