| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | I'd love to know that too. ;-) Myself, I went to a so-called estate sale today. Turns out they were Ebayers who tried to sell their junk out of a barn in the middle of nowhere. When I actually discovered a box of 78s, covered in mouse droppings, they wanted $5 a disc for their treasures and told me that these went for $15-25 on Ebay. Yes, we are talking about Guy Lombardo, Perry Como, and Fred Waring on post ww2-Deccas here, worth at most 50 cents if they find a buyer at all! (Did I mention the mouse droppings?) Truly a bunch of nitwits, I mean dyed-in-the-wool Ebayers. Thought I had wasted a lot of time driving out there, but then I found some music I do like listening to at a small antique store in a tiny village nearby:   These cost $2 a pop, by the way. Far more than I usually need to invest, but fine for an antique store. Both are near-mint copies too. Edited by moderator on 19th Aug 2018, 8:31 PM |

It wasn't cheap, nor a bargain. The unit price was OK but there are a lot of records, so that was quite a lot of money. The guy was very aware of the treasures in it, but let me pay in several checks, so that does not impact my routine that much. I still can keep buying records anyway ! (less than I used to though - for real !) |

MAybe they thought it would give some credibility to the age of the records ?!  |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | I found this in a thrift store while traveling - had no idea that this was an early Ellington record, but had enough sense to grab it anyway because I like "Black and Tan Fantasy": https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/m12093 Edited by xiphophilos on 1st Feb 2020, 5:03 PM |

| scrough No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3425 Points Moderator | While Amy aims for the end of the 1950s+ in 78rpms, I go for the beginnings with this one from around 1902-4 It's the earliest 'Zonophone' we have from G&T and was previously in the 'Zon-O-Phone' catalogue before G&T took them over mid 1903 Edited by scrough on 21st Apr 2020, 10:45 PM |

| scrough No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3425 Points Moderator | Just got 9 Olly Oakley (banjo) 78rpms for £11.50 and 5 Alexander Prince (concertina) for £2.20. They came from the same seller on ebay, so plus £8.00 for courier delivery on a fairly heavy package. I'm quite surprised that banjo fanatics hadn't snapped them up, especially since one is a G&T Gramophone Concert (big dealers price on ebay typically £24), a couple are single-sided Zonophones (£6-£10 from the same dealer), a couple are double-sided Zonos (£3 from the same dealer), and the rest are early HMV (£10 from the same dealer). I wonder how I can enter them into the valuations? They'd give a much more realistic value than many entries, and the lowest price you can enter seems to be £1!

 | Fokeman ● I used to have a good memory but now I can't re Member since May 2011 5096 Points Moderator | I've just bought a handful of 78s on the Mouez Breiz label from Quimper, Brittany. I'll put them up when they arrive. They're quite interesting only a handful of them were issued (maybe up to 50) although over 130 7" records were issued on the label and well over a hundred LPs including 10" & 12" records. |

Both are pretty interesting ! It is interesting to see how the format disapeared, as much as to see it rise from nothing. Thanks for you both ! |

| fantasista Member since Feb 2015 435 Points | If people won't object to me dragging up an old topic, I found some interesting records at a flea market on Sunday. See below:  Unfortunately the dealer, who had originally told me 78s were $2 apiece, realised once I'd picked out a pile and was ready to pay him that These Are Really Old, They're Bakelite You Know, They Don't Make These Anymore, People Collect Them and The Big Ones Are Like Super-Old, and decided that 12" records were $10 each now. I said I'd leave them in that case, and the dealer decided to "give me a deal this time" (bold of him to assume I'll be a returning customer) since I was buying a couple dozen records and give me the 12" records for $2 each in the end, anyway.. Still, such experiences leave a bad taste in the mouth. A few I'm especially happy with:   (from an album of Norwegian patriotic songs from WWII, without the album itself, alas)   |
