True: it'll probably be withdrawn, once they realize that they can't find a sucker at that price... :lol:

This seller has had this listed for a few years. If this is his best in his "collection" I hate to see the rest of the stuff. :shock: :shock: Note the authentic, original carrying handle. I better save my scheckels for this one. the heck with a Victor V with a spear-tip horn. This is better! :lol: :lol:

I've sent emails to this seller telling him that he'd be lucky to get $300 or $400 dollars for this sad VV-50. I pointed out all the problems with this phonograph but all I got in return was a "thank you". He's either hoping for a big score off of an unsuspecting neophyte collector, trying to scam someone who doesn't know what the VV-50's proper appearance should be, or he just likes seeing his User ID on eBay. I can't wait for the day when somebody actually buys this thing.
