Some value, but you gotta find just the right guy. Collectors of components as opposed to collectors of vintage ammo are thin on the ground.
As stated, vintage chlorate primers last forever. I'm still using from a stash of 30's vintage Frankford Arsenal FA-70 primers for select loads for use in a couple pre-war sporters and '03's. Very consistent primers. Savvy handloaders in the 50's and 60's glommed onto them because of their reputation for consistency and longevity. Addition of a hot soapy water step in the cleaning process is the only necessity for preventing a rusty bore. After decades of using them (but mind you I don't use them a helluva lot) my bores remain pristine.
I also have a large stash of 60's vintage Alcan primers. I shall weep when I finally use the last of them for they are very consistent, providing SD's equal to what I get when using CCI's and RWS primers.
