I won this jukebox in a raffle, for a worthy cause, a dog sanctuary. It is new; I uncrated it myself. I oiled the belts and tested it; it played. It's been locked down for moving and blanketed for about 5 years. I want to sell it, someone should enjoy it. The pic is terrible, but nothing is broken or cracked. It looks like it. The thing hanging on it is the lock! Good thing I don't shoot weddings!

The same one is on Ebay for $1000.00 or best offer!
Thanks Ana,
This jukebox has mechanical issues, but it does look nice. I haven't been able to find any Americanas, new or in perfect condition. Let me know if you find anything else. Thanks again Ana
This one is asking $1000. www.ebay.com/
Thanks for answering Judy. Do you know how much they are brand new?
Thanks again, Kim
Thanks for sharing.
Since you already have yours listed and are not getting any nibbles, you know the challenge of selling these.
It is cool that you won it. I have seen this is a new wave of how people come about owning these...like you said where you won it from a charity auction. This is often how people get them lately as that people are downsizing and donating them because they can't sell them. Sadly this just "kicks the can" down to the next person to try to sell.
There are so many variables for selling jukes and they are a hard sell because they take up space and are very expensive to keep up.
Is the one that is linked by Judy yours? Selling price of $1000? Not sure where you are, but that is high. Where I am you may get $200-$300, but if you are in a low supply, high demand area, $1000 is possible.
If that is your ad, please let me know and I can make some suggestions for ways to get buyers' attention.
The best way to sell these is to find a vintage store, preferable one specializing in Jukes or 1970s things and having them consign it. That way the prospective buyer can feel and touch and hear it and you get it out of your house and get a check when it sells. They will have the best exposure for it.
There is still a small group of people out there who love and want them.
Now I know this is probably not the way you want to go, but if you took the whole thing apart (and can test each part) and sell it off for parts, you would probably make double any "value" it has a whole because people want original parts to fix the ones they already have.
Let me know if I can help more with your post.
Hi and thanks
This is not my jukebox, mine is the amithist-aquamarine one. Mine is brand new, the sound is great for a jukebox, all the colors light up, sad to think parting it out would bring me more money! I thought it would be worth more...I wanted to squeeze 2k for it. I have about 1k 45s would that sweeten a deal? Or are 45s not worth much either?
Thanks again, Kim
Thanks for posting back!
The market for jukes has tanked over the past 10 years. The records may help you get to the $1000 mark...but that would be if you are in a high demand, low supply location.
Where are you located?
There are reselling venues (stores and such) in most big cities that are good for selling these in-person sales and then you will know what value it is in your town.
I can see if I can help you locate a place in your area. If you work with a re-seller, they will take a commission, but they will get you the most exposure, and will have someone to deliver the machine to the new home. Unless you are a very experienced seller, I never recommend trying to sell things like this by yourself. I will tell you, I am an expereinced reseller and I would--myself--have someone even more experienced than me with a shop sell this if it were mine. There are just so many variables and challenges with sales this big.
The one that stands out the most is if you sold it yourself you would be (I am guessing) needing someone who could pick it up and get it to its new home....which limits the buyers even more as most people don't have a way to get something so big out of a house, transported, and installed.
Now if you do, you could try selling it yourself in a local venue--like Facebook flea market or sale want and trade groups...you could start at your 2K and just keep reducing the price until you got to the best offer.
I am happy to do some additional research for you (if you are in the US....unfortunately I don't have any non-US sources for these). Let me know if I can help!
Thank you, you've been a great help! I live in San Diego,. Ca. I haven't put it up for sale, but the Market Place, may be a good place to start, thanks for the idea. Is there a website I could find out which 45s are worth more? I've George Straight, Lynn Anderson, Tony Dorset, Beetles type stuff. And, these are used. Lol
So glad I have been helpful.
For the records, you would probably be best off to sell them thru whoever you use to sell the juke--like a consignment store.
You could go to eBay and search each one by the SOLD section and see what they sell for (sold tells you what someone would pay). Selling them on eBay would be difficult because they are very, very hard to ship...best to deal with it a local setting also.
This website has a Facebook page which may have a contact me page....maybe they can point you in the right direction:
