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

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!

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?

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!

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.
