Is this a joke...

That is painful to read! Imagine if he were to write a book...oh wait, he has!!

I just had to look through his other listings and look at this doozy.

For a mere $250,000 you can buy the rights to his book. I'm sure there are no chapters OR paragraphs.

That must be one huge page....

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this item was actually worth any thing. I just purchased the exact same one at a garage sale. It had old 78's on it, Bing Crosby Artie Shaw & his orchestra Diana Shore Perry Como. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not worth very much- those later redio phonographs can be nice pieces and can sound good, but they aren't rare or interesting enough to be collected The actual value is minimal compared to the money that has to be spent to rebuild one. I'd say the value is less than $50.00 If it was in a streamlined modern cabinet it would have slightly more value.

The majority of these mid-century radio phonographs are kind of whatever they can get common thrift store items these days, bringing maybe $50. I see them all the time. They are now at the bottom of the cycle that occurs as technology ages, because the supply is much greater than the demand, they are bulky, and people view their furniture styling as obsolete.

Eventually as most are scrapped and they begin to get scarce and collectors begin to notice them the values will start to increase, but I'm guessing that is likely another 50 years off in the future.
