"Selectric bidding is up to $202.50"

That's quite a bargain, I saw this described as a true typesetting machine, far beyond an ordinary typewriter.

Read the information, the machine at least needs a belt, and may not work at all.

It's not a typesetting machine, even if it's the Composer version, it still can't put out as nearly a typeset appearance as Word and a good laser printer, it can't do kerning, although it may be able to simulate it. More likely it's the standard office model Selectric, which couldn't even do proportional spacing, let alone kerning.
