Why So Much For This Ebay VV-50?

[antique1973]

You also may not have noticed but the seller was not willing to ship the Victrola. It was only available to bidders who could physically come and get it. I'm sure that knocked out 95% of interested bidders. Not a smart way to sell a nice item of substantial worth.

That's true, with floor models the shipping is usually out of the question. This would greatly limit
the buyer pool. Craigslist is the way to go, or selling at a show if you can work a deal. The smaller
stuff like Edison cylinder players work better for Ebay since they are small enough to ship.
