Ebay is no way to judge value or interest on a set in my opinion. Someone could be willing to gladly drop $350-450 on one of those sets tomorrow - but not today. It's all about timing. I know a long time collector that has one of those sets and also feels it should be a $500 one due to it's rarity. It's one of those nice rare vintage TV's that has sort of fallen into the cracks. It just has never caught on with collectors. Same for the '46 RCA 630TCS.
The bottom line is the set is rare and really unique and attractive. If someone out there can grab one for $100-$200 - more power to you!
