E bay prices of Eddystone Sets
A regular feature of the EUG newsletter "Lighthouse" was the prices Eddystone sets fetched when auctioned on E bay. These prices which were monitored for nearly two years have been analysed to produce a guide to popular sets and accessories. I analysed some 400 items between 2004 and 2006 and for each model I took an average price and identified the lowest and the highest price achieved in the auction for that particular model. The results are presented below. I must stress that I have taken little account of condition and an average price is just that. However by identifying the lowest and highest you have a range of prices to work with. Of course with things like Eddystone’s who is to say what something is really worth. Given the exceptionally high prices that some receivers went for then clearly more than one person desperately wanted to purchase it.
Some 60 model types are identified and the most popular sets to be sold on E bay are undoubtedly the EC10 receivers (42 sold) and the EC10 Mk2 (24 sold). Model 840C’s were the next popular with 33 sold and then Model 870A with 24 and the 770R with 22 sold. The highest prices paid for Eddystone’s were £1356 for a 1995 VHF/UHF set and £1220 for an Eddystone Twin of circa 1926. The most rare sets to come under the hammer were the 830/8 (£425) and the Model 710 (£87).
