Define reasonable. I'd say, and I ain't no castle head, that any time you see this in complete, fairly good condition, for less than 200, it's a steal. excellent condition with box may be over 400. (25 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

The usual search through eBay has the usual wild price shifts with little regard to condition or completeness. What would a reasonable price range for this be (375/6075 Yellow Castle)? Bruce (25 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I've kept a little history of past auctions of this set. These three auctions were for loose but complete and relatively decent condition sets; 205,178,158. Lately, there have been a few incomplete ones on ebay, and I don't think they're worth (...) (25 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Aha! No weasle words here! (I'm just teasing, Daniel) :-) I'd like one, but not for that price (even a steal at $200). But now I know if I find a good one for $100, I should buy it even if only to sell or trade. Thanks. Bruce (25 years ago, 15-Oct-99, to lugnet.castle)

Hi John, and welcome to Lugnet(tm)... you've come to the right place!
