I compared pictures from this January 31st auction against photo's from the Morphy third auction and discovered the same registers, just photo's from different angles. Prior to the internet, I attended many auctions where I saw good registers purchased by other auction houses at higher prices than they should have sold for. 6-8 weeks later the same register would be auctioned off at an out of town auction house. Sort of protection for the seller. I suspect this might be the case with this auction since most are the bottom feeders from the Morphy auction. I was told there was someone buying all the small ones for crazy money and there are a number of small ones in this auction. But none, are the real good machines.
Only difference I noticed were the 31st auction registers had photo's taken at a different angle than at Morphy's.
Fishy Auction????
