$500 was a bargain... that may be a $10,000 cabinet.

Hello,
Looks like someone clued the seller into what the value of the cabinet might be. Price has now been increased to $3000.00 O.B.O

Doesn't that warm your heart. To me a seller has every opportunity to research what they have for sale. Once a price is made they should stick with it and not go back on their word. Just my thoughts.

Well, I guess they backed out of the initial deal (not with me) and had many offers. Can't say as I blame them.

$3,000 is still a bargain... when have you ever seen one of these? Compare that to how many Victor VI machines you have seen. This cabinet is rarer than most high end machines...

The only sold note, that I have archived, is from eBay in 2008.
It was a mahogany disc cabinet that needed some work, and sold out of Union, IL for $1276.

I emailed a couple times after it was listed and got no response. I live 20 miles away. It was just feelers for the best price.
