Check out what the AUXETOPHONE went for: --------------- Two others have sold privately in the past year. Although their prices were not publicly confirmed, based on various (and consistent) reports they were right in line with the eBay sale. One apparently sold for quite a bit more. There are only 16 Auxetophones confirmed to exist world-wide, two of which are permanently locked away in museums. It's amazing that three should change hands in less than a year, but I suspect that after those sales it is very unlikely that another will come on the market in the next decade. All the machines I know of are owned by collectors who have no current interest in selling. I confess that these astonishing prices make me feel pretty good about my own Auxetophone right now, but I still have absolutely no intention of ever selling it. Although I could apparently make a pretty amazing profit on it, It ranks at the very top of my list of favorites and it is definitely a keeper! Best regards, Rene Rondeau
