I usually check what people tend to pay for things on eBay as a reference, problem is I've not found any good source to get an idea what my NSM Festival would sell for, not seeing complete working units sold as a reference.

Love the NSM, but still considering flipping it to get my desired Seeburg. Trying to figure out a ballpark price, if it's less than what I have paid into it, I'll just end up keeping it.

You're asking a "How long is a piece of string?" type of question.

"Value" doesn't come into it because that is subjective. It's about what people will pay.

There are so many factors affecting this, apart from the condition,

Like........

Where you are.
Where a prospective purchaser may be. If it involves a lot of travel, then a sale is less likely.
Time of the year. Pre Christmas best, post Christmas probably worst.
How many other similar jukeboxes are on offer at the same time. Quantity drives the price down.

Decide the minimum you think it's worth and offer it with that starting price.

Or be patient and keep checking the prices on eBay.

Thanks. I understand the variables for sure. Just easy to see a general going rate for Wurlitzer, mine being less common around here. I can try a price and see how it goes. I know the Seeburg I want here was fairly high asking price, so was hoping to cover most/all with sale of mine
