I bid on a bunch of 19 set stuff from the person selling on Bruce's post but there's somebody who restores old Jeeps that keeps outbidding me. He bids in the last 15 seconds and always gets top bid. I think he just bids like $100 on anything 19 set and pays whatever. I thought I was bidding more than stuff is worth but he obviously doesn't think so. 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?

Here's a fairly complete 19 set on ebay. I bid on it but it'll go for more than I want to pay so you guys can have at it. I would have just needed the carrier and one of the remote controls and a few cables anyway.

This should go for a high price. It is a nice looking setup. The brush guards themselves often sell for $100-200. It has all the cables and a calibrator and is a MK III.

Bidding is wise as you just never know. I've not bid on a few items that I'm sure should have commanded a high price but didn't.

Here's the rest of the ebay pix. It's even got the maple leaf sticker still attached. It's a nice looking unit all right but when you add $200 or so shipping and the exchange rate it adds up. It wouldn't matter if the sale price was under $400 but I doubt that'll happen. I got mine off ebay last year for $75 but it wasn't listed right so there weren't any other bidders. Of course, mine was just the radio and power supply.

The second photo appears to be a test set to check the modules for the CPRC26 radio set. The large plug plugs into the battery and the socket on the control pannel is where the modules get pluged into and you set the dail to which module ur testing at the time. I have one here some where but no booklet for it.

Here's some more of those ebay prices. The complete 19 set went for $610. Did anyone on MLU get it? Probably not too bad a price when you look at all you get.

They actually look not bad. I've seen much of this stuff go for higher prices. It's not like the old days when this equipment was cheap as it was only the hams and experimenters that bought it. We now have to compete with mil vehicle restorers and re-enactors with bottomless pockets.

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.
