Perhaps you should clarify your request as much as you can--
- Why are you looking for a "reasonable price"? Are you looking to buy? To
sell? Or just curious?
- Reasonable for who? I might think a reasonable price is $50, someone else
might think it's $500. I think the past auction and sale results are the
best way to go, since this being 'reasonable' is somewhat dependent on who
you ask.
- What condition are you considering the set to be in? This really only matters
if you've got a specific set in mind; I.E., you're looking to buy or sell.
If you're asking what I personally think is 'reasonable' I can only suggest
what I'd pay, or *expect* to pay. Anything else I think I would call
'unreasonable'. I'd say depending on the condition of the set, I'd pay between
$100 and $300 for it. But as Larry said, he thinks that with a good condition
box & good condition, complete pieces, it could be worth $400... *I* would
consider $400 for that set unreasonable, but he wouldn't.
However, I think the best answer that anyone can give you is to tell you what
they've seen it sell for in previous auctions and sales. The more information,
the better. If you can see bidding history, that'd help you all the more... Not
too bloody likely that you can GET bidding history, but every little bit helps.
Asking people's opinions can help, but I think only if it gives you a vast
array of responses. I'd count on actual data from what people have paid
previously more than I'd count people's opinions. But that's mostly reliant on
the fact that people base their opinions on fact *anyway*. I certainly wouldn't
tell you what I would "expect" to pay or what I think would be "reasonable"
without having some sort of experience in watching classic yellow castles go
for sale...
Anyway, if you're just asking for people's thoughts on the matter, go for it.
Otherwise, if you're looking to buy or sell, supply a little more info...
