Does anyone recall the £50 red Columbia 9000A I mentioned a few weeks ago which sold at Cotswold Auction Company?
Here it is again, just re-sold for a record price (and record profit, no doubt!) on Ebay:

Less than a week ago this sound but not mint red 9000 sold for £74. I never saw it during my regular eBay searches.
Why? Because it was listed as a record player not a gramophone. Lesson learned. Search "record player" also.
