The bidding on this Frankenphone VI is now up to $1111.00, and of course you cannot see who the bidders are to warn them about this. In fact, I don't even know if you are allowed to do that, as ebay would probably remove you from membership for interfering with the sale. Hopefully they are just testing the waters and are after the horn and the parts which would top out at somewhat more, but not much more then the bidding is at now. The seller has a hidden reserve on this Franken VI, which I am guessing is for around the same amount the seller disclosed as her minimum asking price and shown on one of the Old Time Victrola board threads, that someone sent us a few messages back. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <phono-l at oldcrank.org> Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 2:16 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Victor VI on Ebay
