Very hard to find good Vintage TV resto candidates. Ebay has made the price asked for sets ridiculous and barn finds are very rare.
I still keep an eye out however.

Price asked is one thing. Are the sellers getting those prices, or do the sets remain unsold?

I am more concerned about the money Ebay makes from sellers. It is well over the rate paid to a real-world auctioneer. We are all in the wrong game. I haven't sold anything there for several years and their commission is the main reason.
