Where should I go to sell or buy a Victor or Victrola?
If you are trying to buy or sell a Victor or Victrola, there are several alternatives that can work well. Ebay and other internet auction services have a lot of visibility with collectors, and can draw reasonable prices for the seller. It is best to add pictures and detailed descriptions of the machine in question, including model and serial number. If you are buying from Ebay, use extreme care that the Victrola is as described, and I strongly suggest the use of an escrow service. I’ve been burned more than once by machines that have been blatantly misrepresented. Also, on the “RESOURCES” link on my home page, there is a link to the “Phonograph Companion” which is a free posting service to buy or sell Phonographs. Alternatively, local or national auctions are a great source. There are auction services that specialize in antique phonographs (for example, Stanton’s Auctioneers in Vermontville, Michigan) which hold regular auctions that draw good attendance.
