[78-L] You get what you pay for [FWD]

[Taylor Bowie]

You're right,  Mike.  Or how about this variation:  You seldom get what you 
DON'T pay for,  i.e. it's possible to get cheap records with cheap or no 
minimums but not a sure deal my any means.

Recently I bought several records on ebay which had a starting bid of one 
cent each...and I was the only bidder.  I'm talking about  Brunswick Red 
Nichols,  not Frankie Laine Red Columbias!

But I don't expect that kind of thing to happen very often,  if ever,  and 
my original observation was that it's kind of pointless to expect records to 
be selling for what they did 40 years ago.
