I would like to sell a 1916 Edison cylinder “record player” with horn. Don know how to get started.
First and foremost, you should contact a local antiques dealer to get an appraisal for the particular item(s) you have. That may cost a little bit more than going on line and getting an appraisal there, but you’ll find the exclusivity of your product in the local market may bring you a better price than listing it on line with potentially thousands of competitors who may have simlliar items for sale.
After getting your appraisal, ask for professional advice about local auctions or dealers that may be interested in purchasing your item, checking carefully for commissions or any costs that may be deducted from your selling price.
You can always post your item on on line auction houses like e-bay, so you can test the waters to see what kind of response you will get, but this is only after getting a viable appraisal.
Best wishes for your success in meeting the price you want!
