Re: Who is this going to fool?
Gotta love that truthful description: "Antique Gramophone Made In Spain"
Possibly, the only truth in it is the "Made in Spain" part, but even that is doubtful... the sticker is probably a forgery. It's not an antique, it's not a Gramophone, it's a pile of hinges and scrap iron... It wouldn't even be accurate to call it a crapo-phone.

Wow, $99.99. I could see someone buying it for a few bucks as deco, but not for $100. Someone really likes door hinges I think.

Well, I suppose the phrase attributed to P. T. Barnum was right. There really is one born every minute.
