Selling at rallys or auctions (BVWS or others) cheap sets are often bought by dealers for a few pounds to end up on a table at a future event. If they make a few quid, good luck to them I say. They take a chance on covering costs and that must be difficult at the moment. But unless you happen to be going it is it worth taking the sets? Maybe from the comfort of your PC its better to try them on Ebay
See nothing wrong in breaking sets either and selling the parts that may help someone else out. If there were less sets then the rest might be appreciated and valued more. Trouble is they were small enough to put in the loft unlike old cars. So well done Colin for doing what most would find hard to do.
It took me a long time to realise that spending lots of time and money on common, damaged sets was useless when it came to move them on. Its far better to have one rare, unbroken set and do a great job restoring it than having 10 of the former. These should be regared as learners...
