A look on the US eBay site show up a superb blue Fada Bullet. Who wouldn’t want one of these in the collection!
TRF Udisco Set

Theres currently a neat TRF Udisco listed on eBay with 2 days to go sitting on AUD$250.00. Surely a bargain, although the Sellers “Pickup Only” clause may hold the price down. Would be a nice early set in a collection.
Time to move those Western Electric bits!

Big Dollars being spent on little valves! 4 new Western Electric Vacuum tubes 264C valves sell for over AUD$1500!
And an old WE Speaker Driver fetches the lucky seller AUD$4000! If he wanted a door stop I have plenty around cheaper than that!

UK Radio Highlights

Over in the UK we see a Early Marconi Type 16 Crystal Radio Receiver fetch an enormous 14,000 Pounds! No recession in that buyers home, or did the Rolls have to go to make way for it?
A classic round Ekco fetched what would be expected. 1300 Pounds.
An unusual old RAF set fetched 335 pounds. These are surely going to rise in value.
STC mic fetched over 200 Quid!

US Vintage Radio Highlights

One of the highlights in the US in the last week would have to be a superb Fada L56 sold for USD$3,500. A beautiful set.
Also listed on the US eBay site was a Black n Green Fret n Foot AWA for USD$2695. No punters on this one at time of penning this, , but could be interesting viewing for Aussie collectors.
One of the most attractive little sets on the planet sits there for USD$2395. Baby Addison Black/Butterscotch Catalin Tube Radio. Stunning and a worthy addition to any colection. Surely will only rise in value.

The last few months has seen some big prices on eBay for vintage radio gear, indicating the Recession hasn’t hit everyone! The seller of a 12” Jensen speaker, eBay item no. 180381071136 would have to be happy after pocketing over 3 big ones!
A very nice Art Deco black Empire State AWA also netted the seller over 3,000 Dollars early in July, showing there will always be a market for top quality sets.
Another similar set went for AUD$2700.
A neat brown Empire State pulled around 1500 in mid July, probably down slightly on what it would have sold for a few years ago. This was definitely bargain priced.
Early July also saw a 1930s AWA Console sell with a Buy It Now for $795.00. If the buyer hangs onto that for 10 years, it should be worth around $795. A nice set, but not one that i would think would be a solid investment.
