As far as a "legit" auction, the jury's out on that at this end. But as W.C. Fields once said, "You can fool all of the people, some of the time, and that's enough to make a decent living."

The language sounds as if it's written by a non-English speaker or from a translating program, the deal is too good and who gives out their reserve. However, I'd like to know which machine it is. Giving out the serial number is asking to have it exposed. I've had items I've sold end up being offered again by these types and have reported them, but unless we know the owner we can't. Perhaps we should let our Idelia owning friends to check! Perhaps it's stolen? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Wright" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] a cheap Idelia????? > ..if by 'interesting', you mean 'non-existent'. ;-) Zero feedback set to > 'private', pictures lifted from a real auction site's listing (nice > all-white backgrounds), the listing set up so you'd have to email him > first > to bid (so that he can conduct his thieving outside of eBay once he has > your > email address), and "I want to sell it FAST" in the description? > Sometimes > the comedy just writes itself. > > But what a beautiful machine. > > > r. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[email protected]> > Subject: [Phono-L] a cheap Idelia????? > > >> This is interesting.............................. >> >> > http://cgi.ebay.com/EDISON-IDELIA-D2-CYLINDER-PHONOGRAPH_W0QQitemZ6603884768 > QQcategoryZ38029QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem > > _______________________________________________ > Phono-L mailing list > [email protected] > > Phono-L Archive > http://www.oldcrank.org/pipermail/phono-l/ > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.375 / Virus Database: 267.15.2/253 - Release Date: 2/7/2006 > >
