Vintage Zenith allegro "Wedge" Question

Hi, I came across the aforementioned wedge, model #jr596w, recently. I have very little knowledge on this type of item, but it is in basically perfect working/costmetic condition. I've seen some negative talk about wedges on these boards, and of course the quality is not going to compare to anything these days, but it does have a very cool retro look, and would seem to provide someone who collects these types of things with much pleasure. My question is a two-parter:
1. Where (outside of ebay, unless that's really the best place) would be the best place to try to sell/auction this artifact, and 2. What would be the typical range of price I could expect it to fetch? Thanks for any help you can provide!

the zenith wedge was the best of the last american made zenith
stereo ever built.Marketed in 1978 the wedge had pros and cons .
It was designed to compete with high end japanese competetor
stereo designer models by using high efficiency speaker design
along with its 15 watt per channel power output.It was in fact
a power house unit compared to most integrated stereo systems
of its kind however it was still lacking sufficient power output
to most peoples desire and it incorporated 8 track tape instead of
using a dolby cassette deck.I believe that these two flaws are
what kept the wedge from becoming an all time classic
