<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 212322, member: 88&quot;]The best autographed item I have ever sold was a signed Patsy Cline album. Unfortunately it was not mine so all I got was a commission <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />, but the consignor was extremely pleased. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Funny thing was it ended up selling to someone local who I met at an auction just a couple of days after I had listed it on ebay. It had already received several bids &amp; had a large number of watchers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a large table at the this auction that was filled with boxes of record albums. The auctioneer could not get even an opening bid so the lot was passed. After the auction he was standing near the table talking to several people &amp; when I walked by he asked me if I was sure I did not want to buy some records. I told him only if he could guarantee I would find an autographed one like I had listed on ebay right now. When I told him the details a girl in the group got very excited &amp; said she was a huge Patsy Cline fan. She asked if I was absolutely sure it was authentic &amp; I told her the circumstances. The consignor had obtained the records from the estate of a local disc jockey. This DJ was from a time when the singers &amp; musicians would go around to the local radio stations to promote their records hoping they would get lots of air time.</p><p><br /></p><p>She ended up taking my information &amp; winning the auction. I still see her all the time at the local auctions &amp; sales. She still has the album &amp; tells me that is one of her prize possessions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> She also admits had she not overheard me that day she would not have it, because it was not something she actively looked for &amp; even if she had seen the listing she never would have bid as much as she did that day because she would have been skeptical about the authenticity.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
