But way overpriced... $550 for a Belmont 6D 111 Radio, "This set has had all period capacitors replaced, all tubes checked and replaced as needed. All controls have been cleaned and lubed to operate as new. Comes with a one-year warranty on the electrical restoration." Another is a Japanese AA5 for $395. :roll: $990 for a Arvin 618 "Phantom Junior", $3700 for a Midwest CC 18 console radio, $1150 for a Detrola Model 136....

And for $6K - $1, you can have a Zenith 7 S 232AT "Walton" Radio!

Not the web page to go to to get an idea of "what is my radio worth"...

Oh dear... Now the EBay sellers will start jacking up their prices claiming that "I saw it online so it must be true". On the bright side, you can start selling some common radios for a few hundred dollars to unsuspecting buyers.

Supply and demand, if someone has pockets full of money they will think they have got a bargain, until they try to resell.
The eBay sellers will not sell their radios at those price and will realise the prices are inflated. Things will settle down again.
I have noticed similar price changes after watch particular items being valued on the Antique Road Show on TV. What I used to buy that item for, (say Shelley China) goes through the roof, then comes back down to where it was.
Anyway, there are still plenty of old radios that need our love and care out there, we get the kicks of restoration, not buying radios restored by cheque book restorers.
