[Heathkit] Value of Heath big box units ?? Can anyone venture aguess ??

[Van K7VS]

If you plan to list them on ebay, which is perfectly acceptable, if you 
decide to do that.  Go ahead!  It's a market driven economy and whatever 
they are worth at the moment you will get for them.  OK?  Further, I would 
strongly recommend you get some idea what proper packaging and shipping will 
cost and include something about that in your ebay listing.  If nothing 
else, list the approximate shipping weight of each item since they are all 
very heavy and will cost plenty to ship properly.  I have seen deals lost 
because shipping is so very expensive now, but of course, you probably know 
that.  One thing further, be sure and describe the condition.  If you have 
not had the equipment running, say so.  The "worked when I put them away" 
shot turns a lot of buyers off.  Simply let the potential buyer know the 
stuff hasn't been checked.  And what is exceptional to you may not be to a 
buyer so be kind enough not to use that term.  Be more descriptive on the 
cosmetics.

Good Luck.
Van, K7VS a heath collector.
