| | Indeed Rates would be zero in many cases if RV less than £12k at least for one year , Wonder If the "His Master's Voice" name is still trademarked with the recording angel on a lillypad ? |

| | The only shop business model I could see working for 78s is something like the bonkers bookshop I discovered fairly locally. Location: what looks like a former furniture store in on-its-knees urban shopping centre probably kept open solely by the rent for the supermarket the forms part of the centre. Probably a pretty very low rent. Presentation. shelves round the outside walls with much of the rest of the inside taken up by stacks of semi-sorted boxes. Prices low, opening hours long - run (I think) by a family.
Some rural town could try and start up the Hay-on-Wye of 78s, perhaps? |

| | And the reason, generally, why the cost of 78s is so low, its because the cost of storage is so high ( unless you bought a cheap terraced house in a mining village and filled it top to bottom )
IF this one specifically were to turn up on the normal auction sites or discogs It would probably go for £6 plus postage. The likes of these probably were in the shed s/h dealer I came accross once with 3000 discs + at £5 each. Just no time to get through them and I would not have known what I was looking for. But as Mike says, a lot of these discs dont appear on later compliations, not even making it to licenced LP issues in the 50s/60s/70s which would indicate the source audio disappeared too. Many of my 78s were not on Spotify 10 years ago, a few have crept in , eg the Peggy Lee lost Capitol Recordings as collectors have sourced and cleaned up audio sources. The BBC killed its record library and so many of the later Malcolm Laycock and other presenters broadcasts were of discs from their own collection, and again the BBC killed its website archive of discs played on the shows, deeply frustrating. |

| | Like a lot of this type of 78 is the value is so small it is not worth the time of a record dealer to stock or list it and it has few collectors seeking to buy it. Most of my 78's are bought as job lots my usual buy in price is £10 for a 100 if there is a few oddities in amongst them.
The most I've bought in one go was 1300 for £60 as the person was moving and wanted them all gone immediately. |
