Donley Auction Day One

[SignatureSeriesOwner]

I had just happened to stumble across it online a couple weeks ago, and set a reminder to sign up for it the day before.

I got a nice VV-X tabletop (first one, not the second) that I hope has a working motor, but the ad didn't say that, so...

I was trying to win the nice VV-XI tabletop as well, but internet lag I think caused my $325 bid to go in just after the gavel fell.

I did score a nicer VV-50 portable on Sunday, I've always wanted one.

That online buyers premium kills. 23% seemed outlandish. Around here it's always 10%.

One of the first lots for sale, a early VV-IX tabletop went for only $120. I almost bought it, and I have two already!
