I have come across a nice original Philips 180B Radio Player, what sort of money would this be worth. This guy is a weekend market seller and I usually get radios of him cheap, but I want to keep him keen by offering a reasonable price for this one.

Console floor standing sets like that tend to be hard to ship or transport, and most collectors don't have much room to spare anyway, so the market for them is not as good as smaller table mantle radio sets. The market becomes only your metro area, people who have vans, and have enough floor space. Thus a reasonable price is about the same or slightly less than a table mantle radio. This is in contrast to when these sets were first made and sold, when such a console was the primary source of entertainment in a home.
