[ForSale-Swap] Any vintage BC swap groups or sites?

[J. Forster]

This is like valuing mil gear. Unless you get a PROFESSIONAL appraisal
(from someone who neither buys nor sells) it's likely nonsense.

Watch eBay for a while. Look for similar stuff.

IMO, your best bet is to sell at auction, possibly w/ a reserve if you
think it's really valuable. Do NOT use "Buy It Now" or mess with early
ending if you get an offer.

FWIW,
