Just thinking out loud here-- but it occurred to me the other day that averaging the "ask" price for Brickbay items is probably a slightly pricey way to figure things out-- because assumedly all the items that people WILL buy are already bought (and (...)

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 (...)

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)

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?
