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

[Robert & Linda McGraw (K4TAX)]

Good points.  Great quality pixs and plenty of them helps too.  Yes, do list 
weight {can be found in the manuals} and packing charges.  Some of these 
will cost $35 to double box and properly pack and over $100 to ship 
domestically
