Making Money Selling Player Piano Rolls
By Larry Wilson

I frequent an "antiques mall" on a regular basis.  One booth in this
establishment has had a huge stock of player piano rolls for several
years.  All are in boxes.

With all the interest in mechanical music I'm wondering if I should buy
all of these and offer them for sale so collectors can have access to
them.  I am presently unemployed and I could use the income.  I would
be grateful for any input from readers of the Mechanical Music Digest.

Thanks

Larry Wilson
