I am NOT stating any opinion on the current market value of the original
6067 Guarded Inn.  It is the original artifact, and with box or especially
in MISB condition, I would expect it to get more than the new 10000 set (how
much more is a matter of speculation).

I am trying to get sellers, and at the moment just a particular one at that,
to be more honest and less deceptive in their descriptions.  For example, I
don't have any problem with Troy C. parting out his 10000 Guarded Inn
elements when he SO clearly labelled them as such!  I actually lauded Troy
for his honesty.

An original Metroliner is worth whatever an original metroliner is worth.  I
wouldn't personally buy an old one knowing that a newer release is in the
offing...but when the time comes I would certainly prefer that sellers not
try to pass off the rereleased item as the original.

sets and elements, which interests me a great deal.)

I'll add my two cents to this... I did something in a similar vien the other day, although it wasn't quite the same and on retrospect, I'm a little ashamed. I emailed directly the highest bidder on an original Metroliner to inform him that he could (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
