OT : FS 1950's Seeburg C ' Happy Days' Jukebox in PA

[w***@aol.com]

Hi - I'm selling a Seeburg C Jukebox in PA. This is the Happy Days
Jukebox - considered THE most collectible Jukeboxes from the 50's era.
Works perfect looks beautiful ! I have plenty of pictures to share.
Feel free to come to my home to listen to it / pick it up if interested
!

These are listed for sale in numerous trusted websites I can point you
to for between $ 6,000 and $ 7,000. Higher end is for fully restored
machines though. I'm looking for quick turnaround on this one to help
pay for some recent purchases ! Will sell for $ 3,500 firm.

I also have a Seeburg C (Happy Days Jukebox) as well $ 3,500 (those
sell for $4,500 to $ 5,000 from the same websites).

A jukebox is a must have in your gameroom ! Best way to contact me is
to email me at ***@AOL.COM - I don't always get a chance to check
the newsgroup.

Thanks, Joe

Happy Days Jukebox was a Seeburg HF 100 G by the way.... and THE most
collectible Seeburg from the 50ies is the V/VL 200.

Price youŽre asking is decent but trusted websites showing 6-7K are no
longer trusted websites, they are rip-offs and definately not selling for
this price.

sorry for error - thanks for info ! what i meant by 'trusted' was that
was what respected restorers are selling for - again, not what i'm
selling, but just to get me a range of what to ask i used that as a
guide and then backed way off those prices. and i've been to shows
(hershey, chicago) and yes, jukeboxes are selling for close to that $
5,500 for a restored C different dealers, multiple times. these guys
do turn out beautiful examples though for that kind of money. it's an
art. just like pinballs - those who do the best work command the
highest prices... anyway, now we're way off topic - haha - thanks for
info and help clarifying !

I can't comment on the Hershey show because I didn't attend this year, but
NO ONE at the last two Chicagoland shows got anywhere NEAR $5,500.00 for ANY
Seeburg "C". I've been collecting jukes for 20 years and I pretty much know
and keep in touch with all of the guys selling restored jukes.
Why don't you put this info over on the jukebox newsgroup and get more
opinions because maybe I'm incorrect in thinking that your prices are goofy.

OK stupid question... define a "Grade A" restoration?

Next question... who is considered the "best in the business" for seeburg
restorations?

Just for giggles, here is where I gathered some of my info when I
researched (and again, this is just what I found) I certainly do not
claim to know the market as well as you Keith. But to say people
aren't asking those prices isn't right....
This is on gameroomantiques.com (Ken Durham's site) - just one of many
examples I found... go look at it...

Collectible Seeburg Jukeboxes For Sale
1953 Seeburg C, expertly restored - $5995
1954 Seeburg R, expertly restored - $5995
1958 Seeburg 201, expertly restored - $6295
1955 Seeburg J, expertly restored - $5995
1951 Seeburg B expertly restored - $4595
1952 Seeburg G, expertly restored - $5995
1959 Seeburg 222, expertly restored - $5995
1955 Seeburg V 200, expertly restored - $10,995
Seeburg Q100, expertly restored - $2750
Seeburg 201, expertly restored - $4250

and in Chicago dealers such as London Enterprises, Northland Jukeboxes,
Robert Johnson, and Zuddies all had jukeboxes there priced over $
5,000, as a matter of fact I have prices written down on thier business
cards. I'm talking restored machines, not parking lot. Maybe these
were other models like and R or a G ? Would that make a sense - maybe
that's where I'm off base a little ? Again, I'm not trying to justify
what they all sell for - they all do good work. My only comment was on
what I found these selling for at multiple sources online, not my
opinions.

I guess I'm never concerned with "asking" prices. I focus on what people are
actually paying for things.
I bought a set of plastic bowls last week for $3.00 that had a $29.99 MSRP
sticker on it.
Asking price and selling price are often far apart.
I can watch the Barrett Jackson auto auction on TV and see a 68 GTO
convertible sell for $80,000.00. I know that I can't get that kind of money
for mine if I try to sell it, and I wouldn't reference them as a legitimate
reference to my car's value. I would still recommend that you move this to
the jukebox newsgroup for the best results (unless you are fishing here for
a sucker).
