I think a seller would have to be extremely lucky to find a collector willing to pay a premium for a complete set. Maybe if it was very rare, or #1 on the registry, and you found that one buyer out there in a private sale. But usually you'd want to break it up to maximize value.
There was an interesting example in the recent Memory Lane auction. They had a complete PSA 10 86 Fleer basketball set up, as a complete lot, and also broken up into individual cards and small lots. If the set sold for more as a whole it would be sold that way. Looks like it only came up $58 short (69,000 vs 69,058 + 20% BP). I didn't think it would be that close.
Edited to add: I must have typed this at the same time as Mike's comment. Looks like the answer to your question is Memory Lane, and perhaps others.
