Title: Where to list vintage meters for sale
Post by: WA2SQQ on February 13, 2023, 11:56:08 AM
Aside from this site, I'm wondering if anyone knows of other sites who would cater to the antique radio / electronics part of the hobby? I have been asked to liquidate a collection of vintage meters (large), from the estate of a fellow ham. These are primarily from Weston Inc from Newark, NJ

You got to be kidding  ???

AMfone, ARF, eHam, QRZ, QTH, most e-mail reflectors, groups.io reflectors, various social media sites, and flea markets are starting up in NY, NJ, PA shortly.

If it's free to post stuff "For Sale" on some electronic-related site, why would you care if they cater to just vintage electronic related items. Someone might want a meter as a coffee table center piece.
People do weird stuff with stuff.

OR
Beach Blanket and wares and find a sidewalk and you're in business  :D

I'm trying to do this as quickly and easily as possible, hopefully in one sale.. Proceeds go the family who I am helping to pay off a lot of medical bills.. "Birds of a feather flock together", so I wanted to start at such a place. I've already found one such sight. I totally get your comments ....

It would be interesting to see who has more, you or me?

Anyways, hit my E-mail on the Zed and let me know.

I never seem to have enough...

I'll keep that in mind since I'm currently working with an SK estate full of vintage components. Asking at the ham club who builds things, I was told it was the SK and myself..

Your turn to make a road trip?

Matter of fact, we have a trip out to Houston this spring.  A stop off in Dallas on the way hoe would be easy.

Will inform.
