[Ted Langdell]

I don't know if this is a record, but this RCA Broadcast News of June,  
1956 sold for $177.50.

Bidding took the magazine from an initial $19.99, with a bidding war  
ultimately lost by two peple who bid the price up from $23.40 over six  
days. The winner bid only once, topping all others.

The same two people who lost the June '56 issue took the Sept., 1953  
issue to $164.03 in two bids,

There were two other +$100 sales in the batch of 35 magazines.

The same two people who were sparring for the Sept. 1953 issue battled  
over the August 1956 issue, which sold for $142.50:

In contrast, the August, 1958 issue with a description of the Quad  
recorder installation at NBC Burbank went for only $34, after four bids.

The April '58 issue with an article "How the RCA Video Tape Recorder  
Works" went for 58.44.June, 1959 with an item about the WBTV Quad  
install going in "record time" had only one bid of $19.99, and the  
October '59 issue with a followup on the WBTV installation went for  
only $21.49.

If anyone on the list happened to be winning bidders, I'd appreciate  
the opportunity to post good scans of the Quad articles for everyone's  
enjoyment and research.
