It's gone from $500, to $275, down to $245, then $200, then back to $500, to where it is now.
Like George, I made a couple of very fair offers on it, and was told by the seller they won't go any less than $200.
The problem with the "make offer" option is that it used to be optional, but eBay now includes it automatically with a listing. If the seller doesn't want to use that option, they have to manually turn it off. I'm guessing many sellers aren't aware of this.

People keep saying this, however, I just posted a few items on eBay. I have no automatic "make offer" option and in fact, I have to manually activate it if I want it.

This record was part of a set of two. The rarer record and more attractive one was "National Airs"...

12000 was pressed of red, white, and blue shellacs, and 22024 added green and yellow to the RWB with a center base of black.

The colors used on 22024 (Allied National Airs) represent the colors of the flags of the WWI allies.
