I have found some Motorola stereo until listed on eBay for sale but not the complete console as you have here. One person is asking $60 for his stereo and he says that it is not working and is selling this for parts only. I did find a Zenith console that a person is asking $1300 for it. Your stereo is not listed and I can not find one that has sold recently. You can start your asking price at around 1000 to 1200 dollars and see if anyone is interested. Just keep in mind if you want to sell this online you will need to deal with boxing this up and shipping it off to the buyer.

That does increase the price the buyer is willing to pay for such a unit. I would check around your local area and on Craigslist and see if any type of stereo units like this are being sold. See what a person is willing to ask for their unit and compare it to prices in your area. This way you will receive the best price for the area you live in when selling this off.

Remember that most of these are working because they have TUBES, that last forever! Some are more valuable than the console!

Motorola SK11B was made in 1959 and seems to be highly rated but consoles are usually not fast sellers and shipping across town may cost in the hundreds (freight) and most sellers are listing their consoles as 'pick up only'.

This just means that your location will have a lot to do with the final value of your item. Some areas may be into vintage non-essential large pieces but other areas may not even stop if it's setting on the curb for free. You'll have to check your area out by maybe looking on Craigslist and other sites that list items 'locally' to see what is selling - or - you may already know how your area takes to a console like yours.

There have been 2 or 3 Motorola consoles sold on eBay in the past several months but none like yours so quoting a value would be misleading.
You can check out the ones that sold so you'll see what people are paying for other models and where they are located.

I did find some nice 1960 consoles listed for sale and these are very similar to yours but each models is different in many respects so even then you're only seeing how others are listed.

The asking prices are up and down but you can place a watch on any that you want to see if it sells - but remember, location can make a big difference in selling price of a console.

These are 1960 models; asking price: $496 - pick up only and $895 pick up only.

You might want to start your price high and make an offer to see how it goes. Maybe list it on sites like Facebook Marketplace with local pick up only.
You can always lower the price if no one seems interested.

Maybe $200 to $400 if in good working condition. This piece would sell to a person who is into nostalgic pieces. This is vintage technology that would only be appreciated by the right buyer.

Sell locally to save on the cost. - www.radiomuseum.org/.../motorola_sk11b_ch_hs_719_hs_706.html
