Re: FOR SALE - Original Mikiphone - $200
One reason this has not sold is that it's missing the turntable and speaker. I emailed the guy in Germany who supposedly makes reproductions and no reply after several weeks...

I’ve seen these in similar condition sell for a good deal more.
Good items (like this Mikiphone) will find a buyer. It's just that it may not be as quick a sale as we've been used to.
Good luck on it, and I hope your Mikiphone will be on its way somewhere shortly.
Thanks. Like Raphael, I’ve actually sold several things over the past five to six months... so I wasn’t really questioning the market for machines in general, just this one specifically. I’m figuring it’s just because it’s not complete... at times I prefer to buy things that way as they can be a bargain if you have have or know where to find the parts. And regarding college, I get it, I couldn’t afford any of this stuff back then.
