| | The Value of 1793 Space Station Zenon
|

Hi all, I was wondering how much a complete with instructions copy this set is worth. This set was only available in the United States for less than a year in 1995 which has made it vary scarce. Both eBay and Brickbay do not have much of this set in (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

(...) Bob, from what I've seen Classic Space sets that are still MISB will eBay at prices 4 times over that of opened sets. The example you reference for the 6950 is not all that surprising. (...) If you are a builder, the best deals to be found are (...) (23 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

Hi Bob and guys, (...) Its an very old question. Imo its an silly one, just pay the price for the sets youre willing to pay. Dont bother to compare it to other deals. Secondhand LEGO isnt worth more then 30 - 50 % of the original sellingprice. When (...) (23 years ago, 6-May-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)

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 (...)

| | Re: MISB Set Prices vs. Opened Set Prices

(...) 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)

(...) Kai- For some reason, that set hasn't done really well for me, which is why I kept my extra 6155 MISB rather than put it on eBay. I was only able to get $14 for one in August. It may only be coincidence, but the V&D still has five of the big (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
