Quad FM3 value.

[Martyn Miles]

I have a Quad FM3 for sale, as I’ve acquired an FM4.
What do Forum members think the FM3 is worth ?
It works OK, but needs a stereo light bulb.
I’d rather not go down the eBay route...

Worth checking out what past sales of the FM3 have been like on ebay - even if you don't use it for selling.
Gives at least an indicator of what people actually pay rather than guesstimates.

From my observations, FM tuners are dying a death on the used market ...

EDIT: just had a look on ebay past sales - roughly between £40 and £70 depending on condition and which way the wind blows ... so not bad really.

Thanks.
I’d looked up sold listings before I read your reply and came to the same conclusion as you.

That's probably a fair assessment. The similar looking, but valved, FM2 is the more desirable and will fetch more.

I thought FM had died I had Nad monitor series fm tuner for years but love my Pure DAB tuner now so much station choice etc and sound is crystal clear like the DAB tuner in my brand new VW Golf

It sold for £62.00, so I’m happy...
