I am curious about the value of this old radio and record player. It all works and is in very good condition. I think the model number is 31W8 and the serial number is 105007. Picture attached.

This is what I do,, first a general search for the item you are looking for !! Then look at the collectors forums !! They give several questions on that item as you can see !! Look at a few to see if they will help !! Usually you can get a good feel for value just by reading the collectors answers to various questions !! Then I looked at the EBTH listing and saw that one in nice condition sold for $405. !! Another I saw that was much more elaborately carved sold for $1000.!! I also look at Ebay to see what people are actually paying,,not asking prices but sold prices !! It will be on the left column of any ebay page !! If you do not find it just click on the “refine list” at the top of the page then look in the left column !! Another thing to check ebay for is,, are any cabinet models selling and at what price !! If they are not selling online you might be better off getting an auction house to handle the sales if there is a reputable one near you !! Doesn`t have to be a big auction house just a good honest one !! If you do use an auction house make sure you have detailed records of each item and take a pic of each !! Just use one of those throw away cameras and keep the pic with the entry of each !!
Its not really difficult,, just use a spiral school notebook and staple the corresponding pic with the correct page !! Thats so you do not get ripped off if you use an auction house !! Anyway selling large items online can really be a pain since you have to deal with the shipping details !! The buyer may pay for it but its still a pain in the posterior !!
Any questions I can help with,, just ask !! I am usually here at least once a day !!

Thank you again, marthahill. I really appreciate you advice. I will use the pointers you proposed. I did not know what an EBTH listing was but it quickly became clear when I went to ebth.com. That may prove to be the most valuable resource because, in addition to old radios, my friend had an extensive collection of music in many formats and quite a few other “old things”. 🙂
