This was $2500 originally but looks like they reduced it to $650. A VV-IV with no reproducer for $650. What a bargain!

It must be the beginning of the phono bubble!

Re: Phonograph prices on the rise?
While I expect this one may be somebody's idea of a joke, many people are clueless when it comes to value. Have a look at some of the wild prices people ask for common items on eBay!
A few weeks ago I went to look at an L-Door listed locally on Craigslist. It was in not very good condition, not a Pooley, and the lady was dead serious in saying she would not take less than $2,500 for Grandma's phonograph. I smiled nicely while heading for the door.
I suspect people sometimes unconsciously sabotage their sales because of emotional attachment to items.

Re: Phonograph prices on the rise?
If you are looking for a really good deal, I'll sell you my VV-VIIIa for the low low price of $75,000.
