I've seen this group try to auction other Alembics. They are way overpriced to begin with plus they have a 22.5% buyers premium. Last time around I think they were trying to get 16K for a Stanley Signature with his real autograph on it. All I had to pay was the cost of a ticket and I got his and George Duke's autographs.

Yes, but this one might have actual real rare unique one-of-a-kind David Bowie DNA mixed in with the schmutz that collects next to the frets!  That's gotta be worth $2500 alone just for bragging rights!  LOL

22.5% buyers fee on TOP of the final price?  
 
I guess some schmuck will buy it for the schmutz.

That would give schmutz a bad name

i think their auction for a platnum air supply album for 160 is a better deal!

I wonder how much they could get for my dad's old Montovani records?

Montovani on vinyl? ... $18,000 plus a 271% ear wax removal tax
