What is the date code on them?

If it is older than one year, they cannot be used in ANY mission
critical equipment, or any mil spec jobs. That negates any comparison
of them with new product.

Most of that high price you found was due to small number quantity
pricing, and mainly that reliability factor, which is blown to hell by
the old date code.

They are worth about ten bucks each, since they can only be used in
non commercial, personal applications. Nobody that isn't commercial
would need fifty of them. Allowing the set to be broken would likely
get you that amount for them in small sets to interested parties.
Onesy Twosey thing. They would all likely sell as well.

Trying to grab a high price for them based on the claim of high
reliability is a bad call too, because they are no longer reliable if
they are past the date code. Also, they would have to have been
sealed in a desiccated environment for this whole time too.

On the other hand, I have relays at work the size of three dimes
stacked together, that are hermetically sealed cans at $180.00 each...
on a good day... Just about anywhere. We have since replaced that
bastard with a $15.00 hermetically sealed can 3/8 inch on each side,
and four dimes thick (1/4"+)

Nice relays, though.
