The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Okay, I've gotta ask, why does this listing have 38 Watchers? Are there 38 other people looking to sell this same machine and they're curious if it's going to go for that price? Are the watchers phono collectors who are just as curious as I am to see how this turns out? Both? What is it?

They are just bored? Doesn't look like anything special is included. It is in NYC.

They are waiting to see what it will go for as they have something similar (or think it’s similar) for sale.

I’ll never forget my Dartington crystal decanter that I put on eBay had 50 watchers. It never sold even for a very low starting bid. That’s a lot of folks hoping to sell a Dartington decanter!
