Hi all, i am new here and i have a question. I have 2 vintage Neumann UM 57 mics with tubes in very good condition and i wonder were i can sell them or can i sell them at all and if you please can tell me what would be the average value of 1?
Thanks in advance.

First off you'll have to give some info about your self to prove this is on the up and up.

Then do you have the power supplies and spider mounts?
Any and all cabling?
Carrying case?
Any paper work?
What are the serial numbers?

Unfortunately the UM57 is what it is, and as followed ......
"The UM 57 is overall a very good sounding Neumann microphone, which doesn't get much love because it gets compared to some of the other Neumann microphones, which are some of the best ever made. The UM 57 isn't all that rare, as I think you could find one pretty easily if you wanted to get your hands on one. The price is definitely going to be a lot less than most other Neumann microphones from this era like the U47, as it isn't as sought after or frankly as good sounding, but if you want a tube Neumann microphone on a tight budget, the UM 57 could just be the microphone for you."

With that being said send me a private message and we'll talk.

Craigslist, eBay, the seller section in this forum. And other forums. Lots of places and ways to sell used gear. As long as you have some means to quantify the chain of ownership.

As far as it's value. Outside of some lost hollywood treasures that have your mic starring in a tv series or late night talk show. You're probably looking at 1/2 MSRP. If it's a popular mic, you can get higher than that. If it's brand new-ish or if it's rare and popular perhaps better still. But generally count on 1/2 MSRP or whatever similar items go for on eBay. And you can't really go by the manufacturers MSRP, but by what you can get a NEW one for ONLINE. If you can't get a new one, that helps make it special, but any references to it's MSRP will not be adjusted for inflation, so you don't always come out ahead.

If you deal locally (craigslist) you can factor in S&H in part and get a little more for your gear. Or just sell it faster since it'd cost more even with the little extra more to buy it elsewhere. But it really depends on how badly you want to sell them, or how fast. I tend to keep most of my unused gear fairly actively listed on craigslist. If it sells it sells, if not, well it's not going anywhere. Although if things get any tighter I'll probably be willing to drop the price to have the cash versus unused gear. And some of the less popular stuff I generally have to bundle with other things before someone shows any interest.
 
Sorry but i have other stupid question. Were is the selling section of this forum? i looked for it but couldnt find it.
