I have this radio from my familie. It works and is in a very fin condition outside. Can It be sold ? - where and for what price ?
Hi and welcome to the Beoworld,
yes, your Grand Prix 610 Present is really beautifull radio. It is nowadays rare to find nice specimen.
As "grand prix" version, it was the B&O top of the range in the year 1964, with all "features".
Yours looks to be in very good condition, optically, and if it works, even better. Nevertheless it would for sure need at least basic sevice / inspection.
You could try to put it on the Ebay or locally. In my opinion the price would be everything between 100-300€, in best case 400€, depends on how many collectors at the moment are looking for exactly this model.
You could maybe offer it here on the Beoworld but you will need at least silver membership to get permission to sell your items.
In general, amount which you will get for it depends if you have time to wait for a "perfect buyer" or you want to sell it quickly.
Regards,
Theomaster
P.S Where are you located?

Thanks for a good and quick answer - I am living nearby Aarhus Denmark.
And one more thing to consider: selling it locally would be for sure the easiest way for you because to package such a monster (if I am not wrong, that was the biggest radioset made by B&O ever, apart from RadioGram RG sets) would be real challenge.
I bought my Grand Prix 610 Moderne (same Radio, version without speakers and therefore little bid smaller) few years ago from a guy from GB. He did good job with packaging, even making a wooden box perfectly matching the radio but it still came damaged.
So it would be really not easy to pack it well and safe for transportation ...
