healthy seller pricing on a few items I followed:

a Victor A Serial Number 37 went for $6k before fees and a Berliner Standard reproducer went for $1600 or $1800 - I'm kind of surprised, but nice to see never the less

On these scarcer items perhaps. At the same time Vic Os, R’s, Ms etc were going for $350 to $500 before premium. A trademark Berliner with an original reproducer sold for $1800, the same as the reproducer by itself. At least for Victors, I thought prices were really depressed and the eBay sellers who part machines out will do very well from this auction.

Bid on 4 machines. Thought I was paying a healthy amount. Outbid on all 4 by online bidders. Came home with an empty car. They now offer shipping on everything (in addition to online bidding), so you can buy without paying the $700 I paid to make the trip. While it's fun to be there in person, it's very likely I will bid from my desk on the next one.

The Stanton auction was exciting! The best part was connecting with old friends. The stuff is fun but the real takeaway is the relationships we develop over the years.

Here is a walk-around video I took prior to the start of the auction.

Stanton's website pics are often sparse - I bought a Victor Z based off 3 or 4 pics, I wish I could have been there in person

Mark, great video! Thanks for posting it - I saw that Victor A

Thanks for the tour... I've enjoyed it very much... I'm green with envy...
