The same reason as $135K for a Multiphone.

If the box contains a rare record, that's a different thing

The surprising answer is yes. Three individuals submitted bids over $1,000.brianu wrote:JohnM wrote:The same reason as $135K for a Multiphone.

Wait a minute....I distinctly see my image engraved on the cylinder box. I will ask the seller to forward it to me at once!

I read a post somewhere that said that the Multiphone did sell for $135K.

I read that too on the victrolagramophones board, but I thing the person who wrote it may have been mistaken - at least, it didn't sell through ebay, the auction page appears to indicate that there were no bidders.
