I recently bought a Smith-Corona Twelve (picture attached) which, while the ribbon needs replaced, was otherwise working fine for the first few minutes. However, after pressing a few random buttons, suddenly the buttons became 'locked'; as in, they would not fully go down when pressed, and did not type.
The 'tab' and 'power-space' keys worked normally, but no other keys did. After a few more minutes and reloading the page, it began to work again. However, after about a paragraph of typing I pressed return then tab and it suddenly stopped working again, just like before. I have reloaded paper, pressed tab and power-space, etc. just as before, to no avail. Help?

There are a lot of these machines listed for sale on eBay and Etsy.
It appears that Etsy people are asking a lot more money but are they selling? Listing prices are just that - listing prices and rarely have anything to do with true market value. Only sold listings can tell what someone is willing to pay for any item.
Here are the links for listings on eBay and Etsy (just for information):

eBay is the only site that has a link to their recently sold items if you are curious:
