I've always tried to find a good home for the sets I have to part with,
often less that I paid for them.
When I relocated across the pond I had to reduce the container weight so
finding homes for my collection of many years was like sending a kid out
for adoption. I took a loss on my RBB & RBC but they went to people who
appreciated them. I gave away my RAB to a fellow ham who was a member of
the coast guard and was delighted to have a bit of navy history.
I kept the RBL thinking someday I can listen to SAQ!!
