Re: HMV horn Gramophone elbow
That's a good buy for that if the bidding doesn't go through the roof, but the seller doesn't know which machine it's from and one can't tell from the photo if it for a Victor 1, 2, or 3.
It looks too big for a Victor I, but still can't tell if it's for a 2 or 3.

Didn't realize that you're seller for it.
I'll give you £40.00 right now and you can forget eBay.

I'll raise you £80
It's a standard HMV Monarch elbow (covering most early machines but not the first back-bracket machines of G & T period as those had 2 pins to limit the rotation) not a Victor 1, which was uniquely small or a 2, equivalent to the Intermediate HMV Monarch, which is much longer anyway.

Re: HMV horn Gramophone elbow
It's already up to £46, why don't you just put a bid in at your £80, and you will easily outbid me at my £50 ?
Soundgen doesn't seem to interested in selling here, he may wait and see what the auction does near the end and change his mind.

Re: HMV horn Gramophone elbow
Namely because I'm not the one bidding! If I want something I bid in the last few moments of the auction but who says £80 is my price? I said I'll raise you £80. Lol.
Moreover, if Soundgen has any sense, and I know he has as I know him, he'll just leave the auction to run its course. Most sellers do exactly that. It's a bit unethical and unfair to pull it when you have many serious buyers participating and watching.
