I haven't used it in a few years and I hate to see it sitting around. I put a new driver tube in it, but I haven't tried it since then due to a lack of antenna. It worked fine for years before that. I replaced the tube because it would drop power a little when I was loading up. I sent it to Yaseu when I first got it and they did the relay mods and aligned the finals. It has a cw filter and the AM/FM board. I have the matching FC 102 Tuner and FV 102DM External VFO. All worked great the last time I used them. What do you think would be a fair asking price?

What's an FT102 worth.
Jim,
If you simply test it out (rather than 'last time I used it....'), you will add about 2X to your potential. The VFO and tumer are quite valuable on the aftermarket and those radios are often sought after due to the increased output power available. Obviously they aren't new but in good condition, the setup should bring good value. For all 3, sight unseen, I would guess $700. That number would be unlikely to go much higher but could go much lower based on condition, etc.
Check out eBay items 5725773310 and 5726960580. You might find that you would get more $ by separating the pieces, too.
