It is interesting to note that the current high bidder for Guido's Idelia on eBay, now at $22,600, has only 9 positive feedbacks in 5 years, yet was the winner of the Auxetophone last February. Obviously, this bidder is a very selective advanced collector who wants and buys only the finest. Good luck to him.

I asked the seller if I could pay and pick up the machine in person since I live in Washington (I don't really). His response had nothing to do with my question, in Nigerian English. "Good day, My name is Martin Trance and i have this EDISON IDELIA D2 CYLINDER PHONOGRAPH for sale.The price as you probably know is 1899 usd. As soon as you ll decide to buy the PHONOGRAPH i ll need your address to ship this. You need to have the cash ready,i cant wait for a loan cause may take several days. The money will be transfered under my name as soon as you ll check the shipping.Let me know soon. Thats all i have in mind for now but please e mail me so we can talk more. Have a nice day" Heh. Any thoughts on a good response to keep him going? Mike > Nope, it still seems to be there.
