Hello Everyone, new to this site and forum. I had a question, I recently came across quite a few NOS radio tubes and we have an upcoming hamfest in the area (Arthur IL). I don't really have any need for these tubes and I was thinking about attempting to sell these on the swap grounds of the event. I was wondering if anyone would have an idea of what the value of these tubes might possibly be. I know prices may vary somewhat with type of tube etc. I can put together a list or take a picture of the boxes of tubes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a list of what I have:

12BY7A (qty 9) GE, RCA, ECG - boxed
6JS6C (qty 7) GE - boxed
6JE6C/6LQ6 (qty 4) GE - boxed
6146 (qty 2) Hytron - boxed
6146B (qty 2) RCA - boxed
6146A (qty 2) RCA - boxed
6LF6 (qty 2) RCA - boxed
572B (qty 1) - boxed
6JM6 (qty 2) Amperex - boxed
8298 (qty 2) Motorola - boxed
6146W (qty 2) GE - boxed
6JS6 (qty 1) GE - unboxed
6JS6C (qty 1) Realistic? - unboxed
6JS6C (qty 1) Mfg unknown - unboxed
6LQ6 (qty 1) Mfg unknown Japan - unboxed
6LF6 (qty 1) Mfg unknown - unboxed
6P45S (qty 2) Russian Pair

Go onto eBay and see what the specific tubes are selling for there. Then, cut the price in half and prepare to haggle if you want to offload them at a flea market.
