Re: vintage radios
There are several options open to you such as ebay (usually the best price) Facebook Marketplace, and Gumtree to name the most common.
You can sell items in our sale section but read the rules carefully you must state an exact price and no offers. If you post pictures here you should be able to get advice as to the desirability of each set and a price range you might expect. You could also take a stall at Retrotechuk; https://www.retrotechuk.com/ if you have enough sets to justify it. Cheers Mike T

Re: vintage radios
On eBay if you select advanced search and tick "sold items" then search on make and model it will give you some idea of the selling price, particularly for the more common sets that come up on a fairly regular basis. Jerry

Re: vintage radios
It's a question often asked, and I always recommend checking out a local auction room, whether you've three sets to clear or three hundred. Prices raised generally seem similar to those at the major national collectors' events. Especially if the radios are valved, packing for couriers so that sets reach their destination in one piece is no small task, and eBay listings for collection only tend to find very little interest.

Re: vintage radios
All excellent advice.
Please do post some pictures so we can give you a rough idea of how desirable or not the radios may be. |
