Re: Vintage radio collection in Bedworth
That's an interesting clutch of sets, I've never seen so many Ever Ready Sky Queens gathered in one place.

Re: Vintage radio collection in Bedworth
I know there's a lot there, it says they belonged to a collector. I don't know whether someone would want to. buy all of them, but would be good for them to be restored!

Re: Vintage radio collection in Bedworth
An average of a tad over a tenner per set is probably not unrealistic if they're not corroded and wormy.
But who on earth would want to buy the lot? |

Re: Vintage radio collection in Bedworth
Yes they are probably being optimistic wanting to sell all together. I've noticed a lot of radios on Ebay say they are from a 'house clearance' don't know if they all are though!

Re: Vintage radio collection in Bedworth
They should taken them to an Auction House to go in a 'collectibles' sale.
From my experience, they would make a lot more at the bottom line, even after commission. No time wasters, no disputes, no comebacks, no hassle.
