Personally, I think it's a pure judgement call on your part. How much do you want a set? How necessary is it to have the set, or can it be built from existing parts? etc. I've had very disappointing results where even the condition of a opened set (...)

(...) Yes, that makes sense - opening the set to build it instead of keeping it unopened as an investment is a very important distinction. Also. like the other posts talked about, the age of the set is important. My current period of collection is (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

(...) Depends on how rare it is, how wanted it is, how old it is, how common the non-MISB version is etc etc. For instance, with say the 8480 Space Shuttle, MISB vs used with box makes less than 50% in my experience, while with say a 8860 Car (...)

Another big factor will be the age of the set. If I'm buying a set that's 3 or 4 years old I'm not going to care very much if it's in MISB. On the other hand I'd pay a _lot_ for MISB for just about any set from the 1970s, because I know that would (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

Here's one metric: the Lego factory stores sell MISB sets with damaged boxes for 50% less. Cary "Bob" <cg47@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:GCtHww.EBF@lugnet.com...

(...) To me, another factor (besides the ones mentioned) in the equation is whether the person buying the set is purchasing it to play uh I mean build with or whether they want it to put on the shelf MISB and simply bask in the warm glow of (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

| | MISB Set Prices vs. Opened Set Prices
|

I understand that a MISB set will command a higher price than a complete set that has been opened. Here's my question: Typically, how much more should a person pay for a MISB set? Is it 50% more? 100% more? Will it depend on how popular the set is? (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.market.appraisal, lugnet.market.theory)

Dimensions: (Approximate) 41cm wide (16 inches) 40cm high (15 inches) 7.5cm deep. (3 inches) This was (...) (23 years ago, 17-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

I'm not familiar enough with Space sets to get a good feel for the rarity/value of specific sets. I have these instructions, should any be priced above the $2-4 price I would otherwise use? <set:6886, 6886> <set:6827, 6827> <set:6823, 6823> (...)
