Title: pur-i-tone phonograph
Post by: shakesgirl on October 21, 2012, 04:00:55 AM
 I've searched the web for this name but cant seem to find it. Found others but not this one. Can some one tell me how old it is. Works great. Its a crank style. Bought it at a yard sale. Here are a few pics if you can see them. Not to good. Thanks for your help.

Is this tabletop or upright model ??  These do not bring those prices around here !! If in excellent condition an upright model usually runs around $100. to $150. Table top model usually slightly more but not much !! There was quite a bit of info farther down on bigwull`s first link !!

yeah sell it to him,...but first show him the high priced one that i,ve linked here....then tell him yours is  cheap at $200...then drop down to $150 if you have to, and then he,ll think he,s got a bargain....

but we don,t know what she paid.....what if she paid more, would you advocate that she suffers a loss,just because he,s family....no point in feeling good if you,ve just taken a hit....whilst he might end up laughing up his sleeve....

He has bought a couple things off me before and turned around and made 100.00 to 150.00 more selling it to some one else. Talk about a brother screwing you. I would never of done that to him or anyone.  I let it known i was buying it to make money, but you dont screw your family like that.

$150. if it plays and is reasonably good shape,, thats a fair price !! You might have added $25. so you have some wiggle room !!  These people like to wheel & deal !!  They feel great when they ask if you will take less and you knock that $25. off !!  They feel like they got a deal and you get your asking price !!
