Hello all,

Just after some advice please. Looking to sell my Beosystem 5500 but I don't really have a good idea on value. I have the Beogram deck, Beogram CD and the Beocord. All of the units are in good cosmetic order, and power up - I don't have the speakers however to test everything is working although it was 2-3 years ago. Obviously this will have an impact on price, but what can I expect to get for it?

It is currently in the classified section but I haven't been able to ask a price for it due to my limited knowledge of B&O!

Any help much appreciated, many thanks! 🙂

You would do much better by studying eBay for a week or two to get an idea on prices and then decide on a course of action.

Thanks for the quick replies. I have been keeping an eye on ebay, but most are dealer buy-it-nows which aren't really a realistic indicator for me.

I would put the value between $10-$15 USD. I will offer you $20 because I'm very generous.

Charming, Trip.

Many are very pleased with both the amplifier (Beomaster) and the CD-player in the Beosystem 5500, and if they 're in good working condition, you should be able to get a fair price for the set, particularly if you also have the remote control(s) that go with it.

As I understand it, you don't have the Beomaster? You should still be able to get a good price for the CD-player and these record players have become very popular now that vinyl is in vogue again.

Check with Lee, he should be able to help you out.

I am thinking about selling my system - or integrate it with the Beosystem 2/42" Plasma using a Beolink converter.

The prices I saw lately on ebay were:

Beomaster 5500 + MCP 5500 200,00 €
Beogram CD 5500 150,00 €
Beocord 5500 50,00 €
Rack 100,00 €
Audio Terminal 50,00 €

Just to give you an idea.

All depends on technical condition/cosmetical appearance, for example I have all the booklets with it.

But right now I might rather get a Beolink converter - as a collector you just need to have a stacking system 😕

Many thanks Ralf, I also have all of the booklets :) They are the kind of prices I have seen too, obviously as I can't test I'll be asking less!
