Of course it could be shilling sometimes, but then I've been thrilled to see
how high some of the common things I've sold on ebay have gone, and I KNOW
there was no shilling.

I often think that when something common goes high on ebay it is because
someone the seller knows is shilling it.

It cracks me up what items sell on ebay. Several years ago, I bought an
incomplete Berliner on ebay for $750.00. I was missing the horn, elbow and
some
screws. I have since completed the machine. At the same time, a VV IX went
for
$1500.00!! Just recently, a Standard model F went for $6100.00!! Now there
is a
rigid arm Victor E going for $950.00 with a few hours to go. It could go up
in
the last few minutes of the auction. Those are my observations of ebay.

Yeah, I think you're right. I've seen good things go on ebay for nothing and
crappy stuff go high.
I have a 5400 series BA that I tried to sell and couldn't get more than $20
after listing it twice, (it was a Hawaiian number) so I kept it. I just
relisted
it yesterday and its up to $42 already. So, as you say, go figure.

I couldn't tell you. I had a early Vic I (mint) all original, low serial
number, original small flower horn, and small reproduction bell horn (for a
flawless display) on EBay, and it went for $625. At the same time a beat
up, non working, no horn, nothing special Vic 1 went for $1500. Go figure.
Recently I offered an oak spearpoint (make an offer) horn on on these phono
forums, NO bites, but it went for $1250 on EBay. Who knows what goes on in
the mind of a collector?

Hello all
Well, after I had offered it here with no takers, I had listed my Theodore
Roosevelt cylinder on eBay, It used to be that they went for around $100,
and it only got up to $66. What's your opinion, is this cylinder (Social
and Industrial Justice) just that common, or is it the economy, or what?
Just wondering. I can seem to let it go for less than $85 so I think I'll
keep it.
