I spoke to one or two of the local traders who get their stock from this auction and the other two in the area. They said they had no interest in radio equipment because there was no demand at boot sales.
The only (limited) interest seems to be vintage Hi-Fi but the punters don't want to pay much even on those items. One guy said he regularly dumped valve radios when he was short of space in his van. He said he will pull the valves for me in future. Same with test equipment, 'scopes etc. - no interest at all and he didn't know why folk didn't put it straight in the bin rather than the auction.
These guys have been trading for years..... aged 65-70 and have made a lot of money too, so they should know where the local interest lies.
