I know this has been an emotional and heated issue for many of us on this board and on the ATM forum. Some of you know that after discussions with Al, George and Rene, I decided to "save" the Amberola. After several efforts to buy the machine outright and offering and getting rebuffed on a 3,500 dollar offer in my second effort, I decided to go after all 7 items. The seller, Leilani Gillard from Peachland, BC, said to me what she told others on this forum, namely, "if you win all items, I will give you the cabinet and everything else that came with the machine." Well, I won 5 of the items, lost the horn to a bidder from Australia, and the lid went unsold. I offered to buy the lid and pay for the rest. The seller came back with a new "offer" of an additional 500 dollars for the cabinet. I replied firmly "no way" and asked her to meet her commitment.
And, well, in the catgegory of a never ending saga, here is a new twist on the Amberoa III. Now, she has come back saying that she is canceling all of the 7 bids and relisting as entire machine...see her "principled" stance below! What a scream! I guess she wants to get a higher return than what she got...this is adding stupidity on top of greed? Enjoy the read below:-) Anil Dear xxxx I am going to cancel all the auction you won and realist the machine as one unite. I hope you understand . I already told the guy who won the horn i wasn't going to sell it. I will give you your refund back. I hope you understand i am just doing the right thing. It not about the money now.
