I have run out of room and now ready to part with my Predicta but was wondering what would be a fair price to advertise on ebay? The set is in perfect condition but not the usual Predicata set but the one with a console cabinet. It looks like the picture in this ad: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-Philco-Predicta-Full-Dress-Television-TV-PRINT-AD-/140909328651?_trksid=p4069.m2059&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3 D1%26asc%3D27%26meid%3D6297770077763131027%26pid%3 D100039%26prg%3D1011%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D140909328651% 26
edit: I guess they called this one the "full dress predicta"

You sure don't see them for sale often so I would think it's more valuable than the common Holiday model.

Being in excellent condition is a big plus, but they simply don't have the desirability of swivel tube models. That's the key feature that makes the Predicta's so popular. I would value it equal to an excellent Holiday model. I'm not sure what the going price is on them these days.

I noticed that too. On the right day this unique set will draw interest, but, typically, collectors will pass on big consoles.
