Actually it was not sold after 44 bids and last bid of US $30,100.

Two things here bother me --- one is the seller. He uses his website and catalogues to promote his mixture of political and religious ideology. A few years ago a friend of mine showed me his catalogue and I was appalled at the way this seller used it in that manner -- and I say that as a religious person and patriotic Canadian who loves her country. But I don't push either, or any other aspect of my personal stances, on you folks.

The other is that I've always had an issue with 'reserve' auctions. While I am not sure what he set as that price, if he intended to not sell until it hit that, then why not set the opening bid there. Its a bit sleazy to me -- almost like its done just to test the waters with no real intent to sell.

Of course don't tell others in the elite of the 78 rpm collecting community about these sort of issues unless you want to have a bucket of scorn tossed your way
