The problem is that on-line auctions often attrect buyers who, for
their own reasons WANT...indeed,HAVE TO HAVE...one
particular 78rpm phonorecord...!

In fact, I did this once in a mail auction! The disc offered was
"Oriole 100"which I needed for discographic reasons...so I
bid around $7, well over what it was worth...!!

Basically.a good guess for a price on a NON-restpectable 78
is around a buck, give or take...much less in quantity.
