The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

For a limited time I am offering my Circassion Walnut VV-230. If it sells, it sells, if not then great, I rather keep it. More pictures and a video of it playing are available at the following link.

My price reference comes from the fact that two Circassion Walnut VV-XVIIIs sold recently for $21,000 (plus auction fees) and another for a very reasonable $8500.

Hi Victrola Monkey, Beautiful machine, I am curious on your reference price on the two XVIII's that sold for $21000 each? do you recall where they sold?

I had indicated only one had sold for $21,000 and I was going by memory. I just did a search to find the reference. It was sold at Donley’s and it was a VE not a VV. It actually sold for $18,000 plus either a internet fee of 23% added ($22,140) or the in-person bid fee of %18 ($21,240).

Thanks for the info, I had bought my 18 over 20 years ago at a large phonograph collection liquidation sale, at the time I paid an unheard of $8000 for it, I had stopped bidding but due to my smart wife's coaxing I raised my hand one more time and won the bid, looks like she made a good call.
