It is of course overrated, but I could make a lower offer. What do you think about this gramophone? By the way, can anyone tell which model this is?

No way! It's missing the original NO. 4 soundbox and it's £200 OVER priced!

What about this HMV 103? There is no shipping abroad, but I could try convincing the seller based on the old Anglo-Portuguese alliance...

Forget it, it's got the wrong tone-arm on it to be a 103 as the vendor claims (assuming he's identified it correctly by the gold label inside?). Fun stuff, hey?

This one is starting very cheap:

It is a portable, but is it at least correct? In Portugal we have a saying: "When the alms are too good, the poor bagger gets suspicious".

That last one is ok (finally) if you really must have an ordinary table top machine right now.

He has not specified Portugal as a shipping possibility...Steve wrote:That last one is ok (finally) if you really must have an ordinary table top machine right now.

Do you want to do me a favor? Would you be able to send a message to the seller, saying that there is a Portuguese guy who wants to bid, asking for him to specify Portugal as a possible shipping destination?

It would be a big favor, I know. You could give him my address.
But it's ok if you can't do it.
