    A number of items for sale...

    My father, a B&O enthusiast, sadly passed away in late March and left my mother with an array of B&O equipment she can't use.  I am guessing that ebay is not the place to sell B&O and Ian at MoreThan AV put me onto this forum as a way of maybe finding a good home for the kit and realising some value for my mother.

    So, the equipment list is as follows:

    Beosystem 4500 comprising: Beomaster 4500, Beocord 4500, Beogram CD 4500

    Beogram 3000

    Beogram 1200

    Beogram 1500

    Beomaster 1600

    Beocenter 7002

    Beocenter 2200

    Beovox RL60 (pair)

    Beovox X25 (pair)

    Beovox 3702 (pair)

    Beovox 2700 (pair)

    If any of this is of interest then please don't hesitate to DM me and I can tell you more about the item (condition etc), send pics etc.

    Cheers

    Welcome to Beoworld. I am sorry to hear about your father, it sounds like he would have liked it here!

    Ebay can be a good place to find buyers. Some of this kit is harder to sell than others and nearly all of it will be quite hard to post  so it would be useful if you could tell us where to live.

    Condition is really important with second-hand B&O as older  items in poor condition can be worth very little. Working cartridges on the turntables would be a big plus, a working cartridge auctioned on it's own can fetch more than a cartridge an turntable together.

     Assuming everything is in good working order approximate prices you might expect are

    Beosystem 4500 comprising: Beomaster 4500, Beocord 4500, Beogram CD 4500   - £200 - £400 A great system and I would strongly urge you to keep it and use it! It really is much to good to sell for the money it will fetch.

    Beogram 3000    - There were two turntables  with this model number, you would need to look at the products section on this site or post a picture to determin which one!

    Beogram 1200   £20.(without cartridge)

    Beogram 1500 £20.(without cartridge)

    Beomaster 1600  (£20-40)

    Beocenter 7002  (£50 -100)

    Beocenter 2200  (£20-£40 without cartridge)

    Beovox RL60 (pair)  (£50-100)

    Beovox X25 (pair)   (£10)

    Beovox 3702 (pair)  (£20-50)

    Beovox 2700 (pair)  (£20-50)

    A fully-tested working cartrigdge will fetch £30-£70 on eBay. The stylus cannot be replaced so a non-working cartridge is worth nothing.

     

    Good luck with the sales!

    I would definitely eBay this.

    I think a couple of the decks, if with cartridges, will actually get more. The 1200, if working is sought after for its looks as much as anything for instance. The 4500 will also sell - I would list the bits separately and don't expect much for the Beocord. Mention the CD4500 has the TDA1541 DAC in the blurb - audiophiles like them!

    The older speakers and Beocenter 2200 are going to be trickier to shift but if working they will sell.

    The secret is in the photos and the descriptions. Have a look at good items on eBay - Chris (medogsfat) does superb listings - aim for something similar.

    You are absolutely right about the 1200, I was confusing it with the 1100 which  is an unremarkable turntable.  I have seen the 1200 go for over 100 pounds with a working cartridge and good photos.
