I checked on some closed auctions involving some sellers from Germany...very few sets got "great" bids, even for desireable sets like the #6666 Ambulance. Still, it's hard to tell in a market with no set prices. Perhaps two Forestmen Collectors or (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
