Recently, in a Bigs Lots, I found two beat-up 6347s. The boxes were deplorable
and open, but the bags were sealed. Despite the condition, I bought them at
the $14 asking price. Considering the nearly ~$50 price (setZilla) for one

Is the incomplete 6347 more valuable than the sum of the parts? Also, what is
the approximate market value of the rarer parts in the box (ie. the curved,
straight, and switch monorail tracks, and the black risers)?

I don't collect monorails. Hopefully, with this information, I can make an
informed sell to someone who would want these.

Thanks

Steve values the straights at $10, the curves at $5, and the stanchions at $1.50 (he is valuing as a (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.appraisal)
