Default a run on console stereos ??

As you know, the key to selling used stuff is to be ahead of
the rest and mine people's sense of nostalgia. Before others realize the
trend and flood the market. The consoles have certainly been gone long
enough to evoke a sense of some bygone day. Also kitschy enough to fill that
oddball need. They just take up so much living space which is a knock
against them both in using up retail floor space and the small apartments of
the youth market looking to find some offbeat item.



BINGO- you hit the nail. The first guy through the Ebay fields reaps
the greatest crop of sales, for any particular "new"
antique/collectible item that has not yet been listed- providing it is
described correctly and in the right category. The worst thing one can
do, is mis-list it, as then someone who knows what it's really worth
can buy it low with no bid competition- and resell it high in the
correct category.

....not to mention that they had el cheapo electronics, bad turntables,
lousy radio sections and worse speakers. They're worthless...that's
why no one buys them.

Wow, what a brain...this from an idiot whose auctions fail 95% of the
time.

Here is one goofy looking enough to possibly snag a buyer.
It has turntable, radio, 8-track. Trouble is it weighs in at nut breaking,
and consumes 18"x30"x60" of real estate (mostly empty space). All for
fidelity not much different from a Fisher Price portable. Can be yours for
$12.00 Canadian.

That an Electrohome, eh? That whorehouse red grille cloth would fit
right into Noodles' vacation shack! Let's see....C$12 =
about....US$7? Go for it, Noodles! Add to your (worthless)
collection!

Yup. With Solid State boldly emblazoned. And a vacuum tube
unexplainably reposing in one of the record storage slots.
