I recently found the following classic space sets, they are all new in sealed boxes, I am not sure yet what condition the boxes are in. I would love to get an idea of the value of each. 6823 Space Transport 6803 Space Patrol 6844 Seismologic Vehicle (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

I really doubt a 555 would ever approach $400. Because if it ever does, you'll see a LOT of them coming out of the woodwork quickly, and driving the price down. I have one with box and instructions, but very sun-faded, and if it ever got anywhere (...) (25 years ago, 20-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
