Jamie, had a look at the pics (result for you) and I have to agree with Ian: your post = advertising.

I think you're asking the wrong question! Should be: shall I sell or keep it?
And you're the only one who will know the answer to the question. Why? Because we don't know what your purpose in owning that collection of metal is.

I'm calling it a collection of metal because that's what it looks like at the moment. It needs a lot of spit and polish to at least bring to some sort of showroom level. So the fact that you didn't bother to "present" it at some sort of showroom level, point to either that you're lazy, or not that bothered about selling it.

Instead you would like us to put value on your pile of metal by telling you how much a PVL like yours would fetch on the Ebay market or other!

That's my opinion (you wanted one) and I wasn't trying to be rude, just realistic for you. In every sale there has to be at least perceived value and as few negatives as you can get away with. For that you need to "put" value if there isn't any.
Clean it, shine it, start it up and guaranty that it is straight and working, learn what value it had when new and where it can be used (if anywhere) and then put it for sale in an auction with a reserve price, in effect inviting people's valuation of it. But not before you took some pictures that will do all your elbow grease a lot of justice, good light, clean background, detail etc.

And after all that YOU WILL KNOW how much it is worth as you'll either have sold it or had offers nowhere near what you thought it was worth.

IMHO of course.

Dan
