As the phonograph had regained its popularity, many modern ain

The traditional phonograph could only be used to play vinyl records, while theinstruraph such as a CD player, USB player, SD card player, AM/FM radio and so on

Hans said, ”This is obviously a traditional phonograph, but for two grand? Ha, it's not as though some celebrity used it previously Who would pay so much for it?”

The auctioneer also knew this, so he deliberately dramatized the description of the item ”Okay, 2,500 dollars, 2,500 dollars, 2,500 dollars That's not a high price, folks What comes to mind when you hear this lement between Ben and Mrs Robinson? You know, there was a phonograph in front of them at that time”

Ben and Mrs Robinson were the main characters from the film ”The Graduate,” a world-famous movie In the inity

There was a scene in the fil on her black silk stockings in the living roo it look too sleazy, the director specially put the focus on the environraph

The choice of this score from ”The Graduate” was clearly a calculated move on the auctioneer's part

The price had risen from 2,500 dollars to 3,000 dollars Li Du raised the number plate he held and said, ”4,000 dollars!”

The price increased by 1,000 dollars, giving the auctioneer great joy He immediately pointed at him and shouted, ”Finally, there's someone who appreciates the value of this item, and has offered a price to match! 4,000 dollars, 4,000 dollars, 4,000 dollars—anyone willing to offeret

Fawkes had been observing Li Du He could tell that Li Du was not interested in the earlier iteraph

Given Li Du's reputation in treasure hunting, Faondered, Is there anything special about this photograph? Since Li Du's so interested in it, could it be worth a lot of ht, he also offered a bid, shouting, ”4,100 dollars!”

Li Du countered, ”4,500 dollars!”

”4,600 dollars!” Fawkes continued to bid

The two of thenited other custoiven up earlier decided to jump in with an offer

”Four thousand seven hundred dollars!”

”Four thousand eight hundred dollars!”

”Four thousand nine hundred dollars!”

Li Du shook his head and didn't want to wait for it to get to 5,000 dollars He said decisively, ”6,000 dollars!”

When he shouted this price, the interest that everyone had regained earlier dissipated just as quickly

Six thousand dollars for a phonograph Given that it was only an ordinary phonograph and not an antique, it was not worth the money

Fawkes had still wanted to try his luck, and so he continued, ”6,100 hundred dollars!”

Li Du looked at hi the offer, the spectators gasped and kept their comments to just one sentence: ”This Chinaman's really loaded!”

Fawkes hesitated Hans stopped Li Du and said, ”Are you really paying 7,000 dollars for an old machine? How can it be worth so ive it to Sophie She likes having music as accompaniment whenever she plays the piano She usually uses the CD player, but I think this phonograph would complement the piano much better”
