Prices will depend chiefly on two points:
1.  Specific model of the set ( ARC-5s are not all created equal).
2.  Condition

For example:
Listing "BC-459" isn't good enough to set a price.
An Aircraft Radio Corp make BC-459, order number 1470-NY-41 is much 
more valuable than a late model Western Electric.
One with a hole drilled in it is far less valuable than one untouched.
A BC-348, repainted and with an "S" meter is worth little.
One unmodified with its dynamotor intact is worth a lot.
Many of us will be happy to help, but we'll need specifics.
Photos of the gear, including readable shots of the name plates
would be best, if possible.
