Vintage Stereo System Appraisal

The prices are very conservative on the gear listed.
I think this would be a great candidate for the auction.
I would list it on Ebay simply because it reaches more "Retro type" buyers than Audiogon. I have seen gear like this go for crazy prices. Nearly double or 3 times the price listed. The book value is no indication of what something is worth. The price is determined by who wants it badly and is prepared to spend "X" amount of funds to obtain it. Some ebay buyers place sentimental value on some items and will pay more than the well informed Audiogon buyer. I hope I did not offend anyone with what I just said but I would try and reach a larger audience of buyers on your gear.

No offense taken at all, Recordho. Yes, sometimes an auction will result in a feeding frenzy, if two or more people REALLY want the item, and if it is one that does not appear for sale very often. In this case, the 335 multiplex adapter is the one item that I would say has a significant chance of that kind of result.

However, my observation has been that when these or similar pieces sell for considerably more than the prices I listed, the piece is usually in totally pristine condition both cosmetically and functionally; it has in many cases been restored by an expert (with capacitors replaced, etc.); AND the seller has indicated a willingness to ship to the Far East (Japan, South Korea, etc.), where a lot of the demand for vintage American gear comes from. The winning bidder may end up being from the USA, but the participation of bidders from those countries will often drive up the price significantly.
