Prices Paid at Miles Museum Auction
By D. L. Bullock

Following is what I could jot down throughout two nearly 11-hour days
of auction which took place at Miles Music Museum in Eureka Springs,
Arkansas.

It is not complete as it only noted items I wanted to keep track of.  I
will use it to adjust my internal pricing schedule.  You may notice that
there were several surprises: some too high, some too low, but many right
in the reasonable range.

It is missing some instrument names as the auctioneers did not know what
the names were, there were too many items,  and I forgot my opera glasses
although I was only on the 2nd row.   Also the speed of the dog and pony
show up front was very distracting for someone to try to write down pages
of stuff as it went by.  They were so disorganized that I doubt my
request for a final price list will be responded to.

D. L. Bullock Piano World   St. Louis

 [ Thanks very much for your efforts in typing this, and sharing it
 [ with MMD.  I can't think of any topic of more general interest
 [ than "What's my instrument worth?"    :-)    -- Robbie
