condor - Eisbär Langspielnadeln Cartridge and/or needles

Vintage Condor “Eisbär” Gramophone Needles – Wholesale Lot of 180 Sealed Boxes (New Old Stock):
Up for auction is an extraordinarily rare and substantial piece of vintage music history: a wholesale stock of 180 completely intact, unopened boxes of “Condor Langspielnadeln” gramophone needles (Eisbär / Polar Bear series).
Each individual box contains 50 high-quality long-playing needles with their distinctive red tips. As clearly stated on the packaging (“50 Eisbär Langspielnadeln für 100 Plattenseiten”), thanks to their special long-life technology, these 50 needles guarantee playback of a full 100 record sides (each needle can be used for 2 sides), delivering twice the performance of standard needles of the era. The entire lot therefore comprises a total of 9,000 needles for 18,000 plays. Each box is factory-sealed with its original red “CONDOR” paper band.
Condition:
• Inner boxes and needles: Impeccable, pristine condition. They have been perfectly preserved as warehouse stock (New Old Stock - NOS). There is absolutely no sign of rust or deterioration on the needles.
• Outer box: The original cardboard wholesale storage box shows significant wear, scuffs, and age-related deterioration, but it has done its job perfectly, protecting the valuable contents inside for decades.
An incredible opportunity for dealers and collectors:
This is a real gold mine and a magnificent opportunity for antique dealers, specialist shops, and resellers. With individual boxes of this quality (50 needles / 100 sides) easily selling for between 10 and 15 euros apiece on the collectors’ market, this large wholesale lot offers an exceptional profit margin and enormous return-on-investment (ROI) potential. For serious gramophone collectors, finding a complete, intact factory lot of 180 sealed items in this condition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
