That depends on who's selling it.

Same exact set, different seller, yes, the above seller paid over $900 for it and then flipped it on eBay for $1500:

I'd be leery about that first seller. He's known well among radio collectors. He "magically" seems to get mega dollars for anything he sells on eBay. In more realistic terms, the set goes for $500-$800. The higher is for examples in prime condition.

Funny how it transitioned from being a "first post war" in the original auction, to a "pre-war" in the second.
