You’re probably right - these things are cyclic and there are plenty of stories about people picking up gear for pennies when it’s out of fashion and then years later finding it’s now very desirable.
A quick look on eBay shows a wide range of asking and sold prices for 1960a cabs - probably speaker dependent tbf.Either way it has got me looking for a cheap silver jubilee half stack... Should have bought the one I saw in about 2000 for £500

You can absolutely list stuff as collection only on Reverb.
I do think the "people don't want big amps anymore" is a bit overplayed as an excuse for offering a pittance for decent quality gear. Sure there are more practical solutions for most of us, and digital tech has come a long way, but the experience of Marshall stack on 10 will always be the foundation of a whole swathe of music history that can be approximated but not recreated without the real thing.
I wonder how long it will be before industry infuencers start bemoaning the feel and depth of frequency that was lost in the big amp cull of the oughties and the prices start coming up again. I'd hang on to it if I were you.
