When people ask me what do I sell on eBay, I'm usually stuck for an answer. I once sold the Bakelite knobs from a WWII communication radio and got a tad over $500.00
The oil filled caps went in the neighbourhood of $300.00, I even sold the chassis parts and screws all as separate lots, it was the only shipping option I had for his radio as it weighed around 90 pounds so dismantling netted me some serious profit.
Even if the oil caps are leakers the vintage radio collectors will buy them as they pull the guts out then install modern caps the oil can is to make the project look authentic.
The vintage guitar guys freak over these Bumble Bee caps which can be found inside old electric organs.
