Ridiculous Prices on Piano Rolls
By Luke Myers

I'd like to address the ignorance of the face value of piano rolls.
A case in point is "California, Here I Come" (a Vocalstyle roll)
selling for $75 on Etsy.  This is one _single_ piano roll; by no
stretch of the imagination is it worth even half that.

Then there are the eBay-ers who blindly sell their "vintage and
antique and valuable, etc.," player rolls, at 12 rolls for $60, or
something like that.  Here is a set of 28 rolls selling for $200.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/272212137356  Not worth the asking price.

And then there are these 38 piano rolls, selling for almost $300!

Now this is more fair: http://www.ebay.com/itm/222292679849 

And with that, I think we have a good idea of how misled some folks
are about piano rolls.
