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)?

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 much in the condition they've been in.

My own two cents

Thank you for the reply, but...but...but the question is: what is a reasonable
price?  :-)

Bruce

   I my novice opinion, I think my max would be about $150.  That is what I
have bid on this set before. I have a couple of these castles and they bring
back warm fuzzy memories of building and playing all day w/ this set.  However,
I don't get overly sentimental about it.  For me to bid higher than $150, the
set would need to be a display only-no play wear model.  Except for a few slope
and corner pieces this castle can be easily assembled from most AFOL'S
inventories, unless you are absolutely in love w/ the original stickers.

  I say this, however, w/ full knowledge that a XEROX executive friend of mine
was absolutely beaming when he was able to buy one in England last year in very
good play worn condition for over $300.  His theory is "the heart wants what
the heart wants". (Apparently his promotion now allows him to afford more
expensive "wants")
