[NJARC] John Terrey collection auction #1

[Jon Kummer]

For lot #281 the auctioneer started the bidding at $200.00. There 
were no bids. He then dropped to $100.00. Again no bids. The 
auctioneer then dropped it to $50.00 and there was only one bid on 
the console. I feel that the low price was due to the present low 
market prices on consoles. For example, the Atwater Kent model 55 
with Kiel table only sold for $40.00. Also, it was near the end of 
the auction and some people had already left or were tired. While the 
Radiola IX is rarer then the AK 55, the Radiola certainly sold for a 
very low price. I should know because I was the person who won the 
Radiola IX Sonora phono combination.
