hi all that record also graces the front of kurts auction catalog that ends on the 12th From mike Wed Nov 5 10:04:33 2003 From: mike (Mike Stitt) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:25 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] US $19,990.00 (Reserve met) References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> Message-ID: <001901c3a3b7$003323c0$5e3c1...@400>
Dan is right, Money is a funny thing. Who is to say that a very greedy tight fisted person may buy the record. Kurt takes part of the profit and gives it to charity. The whole picture then changes. It is like taxes. The government doesn't just keep the money they spend it, sometimes even at home. On the other hand maybe a person who gives lot's of money to charities buys the record, now less funds are available. Just can't win..... Having fun, Mike The record seems to be missing in action anyway.....Where did it go? Just one more reason I'm not fond of eBay.. Btw Dan might be able to answer an eBay "is this an auction or not" question. Wouldn't it be nice if you are watching an auction getting ready to close and the time remaining would "tick" down instead of being static.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Melvin" <[email protected]> To: "Antique phonograph discussion list for pre-1930 phonographs" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 10:18 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] US $19,990.00 (Reserve met) > I think some of this is lacking perspective.
