Hi,
Good question David. Judging by my recent attempts trying to sell some of my radios I think the bottom has dropped out of the radio market completely.
I'm finding it cheaper and less hassle to break radios up rather than try to sell them or even give them away. I've today taken three chassis to the local tip and Gary a local guy with a wood burner collected the broken cabinets this morning. This is truly a sad situation and goes against what this forum is about but my collection of radios had reached the stage of preventing me doing more work so I'm having a grand clear out.
As Steve says; now is the perfect time to buy vintage radios as they are dirt cheap but not the time to sell if money is important.
I still have a Bush DAC90 and DAC10 and won't part with these as they occupy little space. Console and gram sets fetch very little money which is a pity but modern houses simply can't accommodate them. Perhaps things will improve in winter when many are browsing eBay due to the poor weather.
Kind regards, Col.
