Gents,
My grandfather was a Navy radio operator in WWII, and took up Ham radio as a hobby before I was born. He hasn't used his equipment for a few years, and my grandmother is hoping to sell it to clear out the bedroom that it's in. Since he was recently admitted to a nursing home, she has had several people in their small town who have made their interest in buying the equipment known. Many have also said something along the lines of, "I'll take it off your hands".
For anyone here who is involved with Ham radios, do you have any suggestions on how we might get the equipment appraised? I have absolutely no experience with it, and don't have the space to store it or the desire to take it up as a hobby. I wasn't sure if anyone on B&B might be able to give me a ballpark number of what the stuff is worth through PM once I compile a list, or if there are stores/clubs that I may be able to contact.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I currently live in Indianapolis, so I will be doing as much research as I can on what may be available around here.
