Olympia Traveller de Luxe - my first vintage typewriter
This typewriter below, is one of the reasons why I am willing to chat with any "ulat" or scalper who may be able to get me whatever it is that I am impatient to lay my hands on , almost instantly .
The general notion is never to talk to strangers but to me , hey , willing buyer , willing seller and these people are exactly the shortcut which I need . They're just trying to make a few bucks and they will go all out to assist you . Unless , you got yourself a trickster , which always presents a risk , in Malaysia , if they're local folks , out of 50 times maybe you will get one cheating case . Today marks my first time dealing with one in a flea market and I am so glad it turned out so well .
Though he had tailed me from an antique dealer , the instant he knew that I sensed him behind me , he opened his mouth and made the offer. He was eager to offload what he had . Revealed that he was formerly a printer technician .
And it certainly helped that he looked like Donnie Yen with tatoos lol . I told him to show me the goods . Because he was so cooperative , we decided to wait 3 hours and meet up again with him closer to his home .
