[ARC5] Are you kidding?!?

[J. Forster]

eBay prices are not flea market prices. Stuff in that condition does not
really show up at fleas any more.

IMO, this is my rough guess of the break-up value:

2x Tx     $100   $200
2x Rx     $100   $200
2x Dy      $50   $100
2x Rack   $100   $200
2x Shk    $100   $200
1x Mod    $400   $400
1x M Rk   $100   $100
1x Rly    $100   $100
2x CB      $75   $150
cables    $100   $100

Some of the items look pretty nearly NOS. The dynos, for example.

YMMV,
