[Jukebox-list] record collection

[Jimmy Day]

Now THAT is what I call a record collection!  (Reminds me of the line from 
Crocodile Dundee, about "knife, knife?  Now THIS is a knife).

I found the auction interesting, although I missed it.  Thank you Roy for 
the link.  And I thought Roy Dean had a lot of records...well, he DOES.

Guess it's all in the perspective?

I read the Q & A from the seller and was not really impressed by the 
seller's sometimes sarcastic replies.  Sam Walton did not create his 
retailing empire by telling potential customers that "their mother is 
worried about them"...

Oh well, I just HAD to rant a bit  ;-)

Also, he states that the collection is worth $50 million, and then proceeds 
to AUCTION it off.  It, like anything else sold at auction, is worth exactly 
what someone will pay for it.  No more, no less.

Holy MOLY.  Now I will be having dreams of entire buildings filled with 
records.  I would have bought it all, if I had the money.  Maybe we all here 
should work out some sort of syndicate, so we don't have to watch these 
jukebox/music items going overseas.

I have no doubt that collection, if parted out, will make a handsome profit. 
It's kinda sad in a way, when circumstances force things like these to be 
sold.

And that's my contribution for the day.  I have a Seeburg stepper on the 
bench calling for me...
