Allen,
You are not dealing with a commodity. These things are sold in low enough
volume and with a lot of variables beyond what is listed.
So the selling price in any one instance is going to depend on a hung number of
things.
Which means you are not going to get a "today oil is selling for $98/bl" kind
of answer - even though that's what you are asking.
You have guys asking you "how much." The free market price discovery would
call for you to give a price and see if it sells. If
not, then your price is by definition too high.
It's not the self interest of the group that is the problem. It's your lack of
understanding what you have in hand and the market
place. And that's not the fault of the board members at all.

Since you expect your version of a "fair to you" price for unknown used
tubes to be 1/2 of NOS RETAIL (as stated in an email) you might as well put
them back in the attic.
To expect a buyer to have to do your testing and chance damaging HIS
equipment and still have to pay an outlandish price isnt fair to him.
The purpose of this forum is hams helping hams, not someone joining strictly
to troll for values so they can be maximized on Fleabay.
