Ray: I got caught up on the Vogue frenzy "I got to have them all" syndrome. Now the thrill is gone and alas, vogues are worth about half as much now as five years ago.. This was the case of reproductions flooding the market. I also got burned on my WurliTzer 1015. " I got to have one" cost me $10,000. back in 1995. Now you can buy them all day on ebay for five grand. I blame the reproductions. When the price of Idelia reaches forty thousand, just watch. It is inevitable that Somebody is going to produce a perfect reproduction, then watch the originals plummet. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] you're the cream...............
