[78-L] "Value" of 78s

[Taylor Bowie]

I still don't follow this thread. Why try to make claims about the "values" 
of 78s based on the cheapest and most common crap?   Or the possible money 
to be made on a quick turnover  lot sale?

I know I can buy "records" for a buck each or less....but it's the records I 
WANT which cost the money.  I would be very happy if I could find them for a 
buck but I can't.  And I have a basement of records I'd sell for less than 
a buck each,  if someone would come and haul them away.

Steven,

There was one thing you got wrong in that last message,

In message Steven Barr writes

>a Mustang convertible back in 1964-65 for around $3,000...it would now
>bring in around $50,000... or a 167% increase in about forty years...!

That would be 1670% increase in forty years!

But your message was correct regarding record values.

My favourite party piece is 'You wanna a see my record collection? It's
worth £5000!'

'Wow' say my excited friends, 'you've got some rare stuff then'?

'No, just 5000 records'.
