[NJARC] Amazing Auction Results in ARC

[john ruccolo]

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately, I think you're right. There are a few
lucky souls out there for whom 65 KILObucks for an old
radio is like you or me spending $65 for an old radio.
It's just not that big a deal for them....

Please don't get me started on executive compensation.

But it's not just the outrageous cost of the Zenith,
but the perceived "collectibility" of the items. Do
you really think that Zenith console, nice though it
is, is worth SEVENTY times what that beautiful vintage
jukebox is worth??? I would by that Rock-Ola in a
heartbeat for 900 bucks. Anyone out there got one???
