PRICE? NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE!

Hello All,

A few weeks ago I post it a picture of a Cecilian Phonograph and although I learned some things I didn't know before, now I need your opinion differently. I would like your honest opinion again. If you were to list my phonograph on ebay, how much would you ask for it?

Thank you!

Not much, I'm afraid. Since this is a "no name" machine in rough shape with generic components, most folks would just view this as a parts machine. If you were lucky, you might be able to get $50 for it. It would cost more to ship than it's worth. Your market would be local people who can pick it up and avoid shipping costs.

Just my opinion, based on 40+ years of collecting.

Just putting in my 2 cents to say that I agree with AZ. This is not a desirable machine, and in the shape it's in you should be grateful to get $50.00 for it.

I agree. The parts (the arm and motor) have some value, you could offer them on Ebay and get about $25.00 each, maybe a bit more. The cabinet is a wreck.
