I have a few items to sell. Antique radios, tube and transistor; an Electrifier; antique tubes ( I mean like 1920s-1940s); tapes; records (maybe), cassette players, etc.
Suggestions as to where to list? Not fond of eBay. I've already listed a few on FB Marketplace. I tried Craigslist and all I got was an attempted scammer.
Thanks.

that is a tough one
Ebay is costly (10%) fee but you can try to pass it on to the buyer. Then there is the shipping.
I have found I have to have the packing set up first to determine shipping costs.
I have had good luck with Craigslist and have items picked up at my home.
I have sold many amps up to $2k this way. You do have to be a bit careful and vet the prospective buyers with a few good questions before inviting them into your home. I have done google search on some people first.
For smaller less expensive items I have waited for flee markets and that works but it takes a lot of work to pack up, set up tables etc.
You can always donate to Goodwill and take tax breaks if you go the itemized route. You can get $3 per LP write off.

You might try these guys -- they're kind of an eBay for antique radios:

We do have a swap meet section here. Small, but well targeted, audience...

Create a for sale thread, and list the items.

I saw that site. I don't see where to list an item to sell, only what they have for sale. Did I miss something?
I've tried to join a couple of other antique radio sites and FB pages. Still no reply to my request for admission to the group.
As to listing on this site, I will, but I'd be surprised if there was any interest.
These aren't audiophile approved items!

I didn't spend any time on it, but it appeared that it was like eBay. Are your antique radios restored and full functioning?

Not at all restored. In need of complete restoration. But complete.
One item is brand new in the box! An RCA- CV-45 Electrifier!

RCA- CV-45 Electrifier was used to replace batteries in 1950 radios
