Trademark £300 !

Post by soundgen »

This Trademark was recently offered for sale for a starting bid of £300 but I haven't managed to find out what it sold for

How many forum members have a Trademark ?

All you had to do was check the auction house archive to learn this lot sold for 3500 pounds plus premium. It is not a "trade-mark" in the true sense. In fact, it is a much later model of an "Improved" Berliner Gramophone. I should add that the machine came with 30+ records, carrying case, reproducer box and other extra's. These UK and European model's just don't command the high dollars the US model's do.

Well, since you are also in the UK like the auction house. Why not call them and see if they even bothered to make a list??. More often than not......they do not.

Seems like a good price. Did you buy it??. Was it full of records??. If so, do you know what the titles were??. This will all affect the sale price.
Bruce, do you still have your box??.

yes, I still have the box and the machine. I think all the records are Berliners, might be 1 or 2 seven inch victors. Unfortunately I don't have a listing of the titles. Making the list is another thing on my "to do" list...
