Hi guys , I’m looking for advice on what I should do with the above ? Most are original Mullard, GEC kt88’s, Osram kt66 and so on , some are also boxed ( el34’s)

I am in the U.K. My thing is Hifi though I’ve never taken the leap to valve equipment ( can’t afford it !! ) Should I just sell them as a job lot and be done with it ( much preferred) otherwise is the auction site route and list each one ( 85 !! ) separately.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Click on Go Advanced, navigate down and click Manage attachments. Then you just click on each button, navigating to the picture on your computer. After all your pictures are selected, click on upload and wait for them all to go. Then you can send your post.

Hi guys , I’m looking for advice on what I should do with the above ?

A potentially valuable bunch of tubes, but unless you know their condition (via a good tube tester) you have no way to guarantee their usefulness. You could separate out the (I assume) unused Brimar EL34s and auction those, they should fetch a good price. The rest I'd offer in a lot and let someone take the chance.
 
What you have there is very interesting to members here if they are all good. If you offered them here in the swap meet section, you would have no shortage of interested persons.

I'm guessing the members here are a better class of buyer than those on most auction sites, that is, less likely to scam or steal from the seller.
