Hello

I made this tool some time ago, kind of Worthopedia, but free and this one is for handpicked items (it has over 25k items, mostly radio oriented) and keeps copies of high resolution pictures (over 100k pics already thanks to the Amazon cloud).
http://acrayara.com.ar/cms/ebay-list?title=teletype+33&seller=&status=&order=ended+asc&action=Buscar
or

or
http://www.acrayara.com.ar/cms/ebay-list?title=fernschreiber&seller=&status=&order=ended+asc&action=Buscar
or
http://www.acrayara.com.ar/cms/ebay-list?title=radiola+%3C20%3E&seller=&status=&order=ended+asc&action=Buscar

It has data from 2011 onwards more or less, mainly from ebay US, UK, CA & DE
You can search with regexes, exclude with -, word bound with < >, etc
If you click on the title of the item you open a very basic page with a stripped description and the high resolution pictures.
Not only relevant items are selected but sometimes some selected photographs/ads being sold on ebay, because they may be interesting or they may have the high resolution pictures easily usable with Photoshop.

It was born because getting pics from ebay was very annoying, remembering prices was nearly impossible and I wanted a 1 click bookmarklet to do the work right from the ebay page.
Help yourselves.

Oh the prices have been higher. I believe Wayne holds the record for a refurb model 33 ASR. If I am not mistaken he sold one for over $3000 and that was a while ago.

It seems as though eBay prices for M33 machines (and 8-bit ilk) have jumped rather markedly since summertime.  It was only 'yesterday' when a $199 asking bid for a 33 machine didn't get any takers, regardless of condition.

This evening I sent the following link to my buddy Pete with whom I visited The Black Hole in Los Alamos (shortly before it closed forever) where he picked up an operational 33ASR (sitting out in the parking lot!!!) for $20.  Now:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Teletype-Model-33-Vintage-typewriter-and-punch-tape-reader-with-stand-/321230326766?nma=true&si=l21KhQ67dVr6zzgKwTqBcKvNPrQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

After I wondered why 8-bit machines seemed suddenly in demand, he checked out what his $200 Altair microcomputer would be worth on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_nkw=altair+8800&_sop=16

I think he's solved the mystery of why 8-bit Teletypes are suddenly in demand:  All those Altairs need 33ASRs to go with them!
