Sure. Those are rare sets in great condition. I've paid about $75 on average for each of mine. The least was free and the most was under $200.

Yes. Both high-demand 1940s items in rarely-seen condition. Add 10 years to those manufacture dates and you can divide the prices by 100.

I think you obtained your sets back "pre-Flat Panel days" when they were perceived as junk. I think those days are long gone.

Nope, I actually got every one of my sets in the last two years. Some from craiglslist, some from local antique/resale shops, some from VK members. I'm sure being in or near a big city helps.

I see plenty of sets going for $50 or less - even on eBay. It's the shipping that usually limits the bidding. It costs a lot and is a big risk to ship these big old sets.
