where can I find buyers

by randomlight » Sun Mar 04, 2007 7:26 am

I live in Canada and have a Brother-in-law who lives in Mexico
My Brother-in-law has located wurlitzer jukeboxes in Mexico for a
European buyer in the past so he is quite knowledgeable about them and
what to look for.
He wants me to go into business with him to sell them in North
America
He needs me because I have the funds to buy them and he does not speak
english and is not computer savy.
My problem is that I am new to this so I don`t know what to look for
or what the value of these jukeboxes are except what I can find from
ebay and a few other web sights .
Currently he has a 950, 1100, a 1015, and a 800 for sale .All are in
good working condition.
Does anyone have any advice on how I may market these,or who I could
contact that would be interested in buying them. thanks

Hi, a word of caution here. Be very very careful with any machine coming from mexico or S america. In a word TERMITES. believe me you dont want to go there. I already have and it cost me dearly. I would say in most cases the machines that have survived down there are in very poor condition, possibly only suitable for spare parts. If termites have been near these machines, you are looking at a very expensive complete new cabinet. There is a tendancy to have the chrome painted over with silver paint. I have heard lots of horror stories, but you may be lucky if they are as described. If you ar a novice to jukeboxes, these machines are very complicated if they go wrong and difficult but not impossible to fix.

good luck
