Prices of vintage TV sets vary greatly because there aren't many buyers or collectors. Once all the established collectors who can afford a set have one, the price of the next one for sale may be very low. Over time new players enter the market, and the prices go up again. Right now rare postwar sets, such as Viewtones, Telekits, Transvisions, and even RCA 621s are bringing high prices, while early color sets are not doing well. Prewar sets are still selling at very high prices (but not much higher than they were selling for 5 years ago).
But remember that it wasn't too long ago (15 years maybe) when a prewar set could have been bought for $2000, and a CT-100 for a few hundred dollars. I think that 20 years from now prices will be much higher than they are today, and even sets that today are almost worthless (50s b & w, for example) will be valuable.
