Thanks for your insightful comments Joe. Although I mentioned the DAC90A, which traditionally seems to have commanded a price well over the odds, the same could have been said maybe a couple of years ago about Bush TR82Cs, which seemd to average £35 - £40. Roberts such as R200s too seemed to often command good prices. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it - as Joe says, often tat seems to go for high prices, yet good stuff languishes.
I'll put one or two sets on e-bay over the next few weeks to put a toe in the water but I won't be holding my breath.
Steve has got a point - 'collection only' must put people off if they aren't local, and that rather limits the field, but some sets - and I'd say the DAC90A - however well packed, by the nature of their construction probably don't travel well if chucked about. Evidence of that abounds in the many 'war stories' on forums about smashed cabinets and dials, which to all intents aned purposes writes off the set, making it fit only for uses as a donor.
