I have to admit I can rarely resist writing these people. I always
approach it from the standpoint of sharing knowledge. If they have
something that is a piece of junk and they are representing it as
something else, I tell them "I'm not sure who told you it was a ________
but that was inaccurate. I hope you didn't have to pay too much for it".
Thankfully, the vast majority o people I have contacted have thanked me
for my input, and many have changed their auctions to mroe accurately
represent the item. First I check their other items, and if they are not
phonograph related items, I figure they just don't know what they have.
Although one time the guy I gently corrected got all mad and told me if I
didn't butt out he would contact eBay and report me. Which indicated to
me that he was angry that someone knew what he was selling was
fraudulent. My aim is not to shame the seller, but to protect any
potential buyers that haven't got the knowledge to
know they may be bidding on something fraudulent or damaged or that is
not original..

I have found that if you try "NICElY" to tell these people about the
"instrument" they have, they consider it an insult from someone that
doesn't have a clue........LOL

Seasons Greetings:
For only $1,000 you can own an Edison Phonograph No.6 now on eBay! How
some sellers can offer things without knowing a thing about them is
beyond me. This Amberola 30 has the very rare 'oil spout funnel' horn.
It would be funny but this seller really thinks the thing is worth the
$1,000 opening bid. If someone bites then I will be truly astounded.
See eBay item # 281232163262
Merry Christmas to all, may you find something with a crank handle under
the tree,
Al

That was posted on another forum. A real piece of crap. For this price, I
think the seller is smoking crack.

No one has mentioned his other item up for bid - "Phonograph Victory"
It's a VV-IX for only $750.
