Slightly off topic, I have always wondered why the APS Journal regularly advertises high profile auctions of high end machines but never publishes the results. By contrast the CLPGS magazine has a regular feature on auctions, including the results.

Advertising costs the advertiser. If you have the choice of paying to post prices vs paying to advertise the next sale, the latter is the far more likely to provide a return on investment.

I've been watching the first link, and it's amazing the rare prices... 100€ for lots of 4 incomplete phonographs... Suddenly one model reaches high price. Zonophone and Edison Home seen the most expensive. Lots of cylinders for cheap... except if they are Lioret!

The auction reports and results in the CLPGS magazine are not contributed by the auction firms involved but by the magazine Editor, Oedipus of this forum who is an auctioneer specialising in this field of collecting. Surely someone in the APS could monitor American auction results and contribute similar reports.
