hi you may be right on the repros i have a set of them also and they are good but they were done in 45rpm not 78 so if you are knowledgeable you can enjoy the real thing mostly the drop in price is the same for all collectibles the economy and we see that first hand in phonos except for the scarce ones but even the idelia has drop as evidenced by the latest sales all well under the two that sold for almost 40 k now really is the time to buy if you are flush enough too happy collecting zono In a message dated 8/13/2008 12:02:52 P.M.

Ray, I think Ebay actually raised the value of vogues and there was a lot of activity for a long time on ebay. Many hit the market and it was not unusual to see them go for more than $100. But the prices started dropping quickly when a lot of reproduction Vogues hit the market. The repros looked pretty good and they were copies of some of the more desireable numbers. I compare that to the Wurlitzer 1015 where originals used to sell for $12,000. With the huge number of reproduction 1015s that played 45's and CD;s the value of originals dropped to $5000 to 6000. I may be wrong but I dont think it was Ebay so much as the proliferation of reproductions.
