UPDATE #3 - Sept 22, 2016
Auction Report - Realized Prices - Slide Show
Session One A Success - Something for Everyone
On September 18, 2016, there was something for everyone at the Terrey Auction of Vintage Radio! Prices ranged from $20 to $14,000! Even my grandson and another teenager bought radios and are now radio collectors.
In about six hours, 386 items, including 51 box lots, were sold by auctioneer Wayne Tuskula of Central Mass Auctions. There were no reserves. The auction was held on-site, under a tent, in Carlisle, MA at The Barn. A preview and BBQ was held the previous day with about 75 attending each.
In addition to live bidding, bidding was available via the Internet, telephone and absentee. Reflecting the rarity of many of the items, 39 lots sold for over $1,000. However, 173 sold for under $250, including 61 under $100. Bargains were to be had. Internet, absentee and telephone bidding were handled efficiently; about 28% of the winning bids were to Internet bidders. The box lot prices ranged from $10 to $400. Bidding energy held up until the very end - even the final box lots averaged $100 each.

Many thanks to those who attended, especially those beyond an easy day's drive – Texas, Iowa, Illinois, North Carolina and elsewhere. And, indeed, there was a parade of radio enthusiasts from Kutztown to Carlisle on Saturday!
The Second Auction will be on November 13, 2016. Of course, there will be another BBQ at the Preview on Saturday evening. At auction will be wireless items plus sets from Grebe, DeForest, Federal, Jones, Kennedy, Kodel, Chelsea, Crosley, Miraco, Ozarka, Radio Shop, SE-AR-DE, General Apparatus, Freed-Eisemann, Sleeper, Western Coil, and others. Start planning to attend now!
