The woman selling the stuff says she has lots more too.
Here's a screen shot of some of the sales. What do you guys think of the prices?
If you're talking about the gal who's selling off Terry Grogan's estate, I don't restore Jeeps but I have availed myself of this opportunity to greatly enhance my collection of 19 set paraphenalia which now stands at two MKII sets and one MKIII, all near complete. I've waited a long time for some of this stuff to show up on ebay and if I have to pay an extra few hundred dollars to insure I win what I need, well it beats the heck out waiting another 3-4 years.

Sorry, Derek.

Derek, that's just the way it goes on ebay. There's a fairly complete 19 set on ebay right now.

This 19 set was on our local craigslist a couple of weeks ago. The asking price was $580. I don't know if the ebay ad is the same seller or a flipper. It is a fairly complete bit of kit.

It's tempting but I already spent my allowance on Tony's estate!

Im sure you guys will kick me for this one. That lady selling all the radio stuff on ebay. She had listed one of the rather rare WS19 waterproof covers for the Mk1 Carriers. This was the one that attached to the hull sides and then covered the entier radio and mount and all its bits.

This is when it pays to know your stuff as she had it listed by the seldom used part #. The price wasn't bad either.

She's got a nice 19 set for sale right now and she ships to Canada as well as the US. There's also an 18 set and a 58 set.
19 set

Derek, that set looked like it could be unused judging by the pics. Also quite complete.
