Big Phonograph Auction in Paris - 10/14

[Raphael]

Sorry Raphael but Rene is right:
Extract from the conditions of sale:
“for lots acquired via the Interencheres.com platform, the buyer’s fees are increased by an additional 3% HT of the auction price (see CGV of the Interencheres platform).
for the lots acquired via the Drouotlive.com platform, the buyer’s fees are increased by an additional 1.5% HT of the auction price (see CGV of the Drouotlive.com platform).”
In conclusion, there is a 3.6% tax (vat included) if you bid via Interencheres and a 1.8% tax (vat included) if you bid via Drouotlive.
On the listing, you can click on “conditions de vente” to get all the details in French and English.

I stand corrected. Didn't see that at all. Thanks for the correction.

Does anyone know where they came from ? A big collector such as Daniel Marty ? perhaps ? BUT why did they collect so many Exceldas ( 15 ) and multiple Mikiphones and 4 dolls WHY ? l'esprit ahurissant AND it is part 1 !

The last Excelda is the one to bid on as it will go for the least BUT will any make 200 Euros ?

Interestingly it seems that all Exceldas sold for good prices and none under 200 Euros

It's a shame that it would be impossible to be there in person, but if you had gone, there were some amazing bargains. For $15,000-20,000, you could have a great collection of unusual machines... not the rarest, but some interesting ones that are seldom seen.

There are some interesting European models coming up in this 10/30/20 German auction, but the starting prices are higher than the Paris auction. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog ... geSize=all

Breker carries such auction of gramophones and automatons every year. In recent years there were only few and uninteresting gramophones, but this one has some German coin-ops and other more attractive machines. The hammer prices are always very high. The best part of these auctions, however, are the automatons, some amazing (and very very expensive).
