Holiday Train valuation

snicker422

how much is the Lego holiday train worth, if the box is opened and one of the original figures is gone.
(set number 10173)

I am not look to sell, I just want to know the worth, just going to say that.

My guess would be $450 - $600, depending on how easily it can be confirmed all parts are new and complete (still in sealed bags or not, instructions & box condition, etc.) But my suggestion would be to buy another of the figs to make it "complete/unsealed" condition for a faster & higher sale. Good luck!

I sold mine about a week ago for $375. It had:
Box (poor-good condition)
Instructions (excellent)
100% pieces and figures

If you're missing one figure, and everything is opened, then I'd say you will get about the same. I'd also suggest trying to acquire that one missing figure to increase the value of your set.

If everything is sealed (except for bag 1 which had the figure) then you should obviously expect more.

nah, I opened it when I got it and built it, I have ALL he winter sets, except for the horrible marry go round one. I replaced that with the fairground mixer.
how much do you think I would get for the train, the winter village toyshop, the bakery, the post office, and the coattage (all the winter village sets I own)

and two of the free 2014 winter gift trucks.

Oh I misunderstood you, thinking it was mostly new. But if used, good condition, complete with box and instructions you're in the $350-$400 territory.

Your Holiday Train set sounds like mine, so you should expect the same price of about $375.

For the rest, your best bet is to go to eBay's completed listings and search each of the sets individually. And as a reminder, don't forget about eBay's fees! :o)

Uh...it is worth nothing. Yah, nothing at all. It is quite useless. It is so useless in fact, I will be happy to just take it off your hands for free to help.

;-) ;-) ;-)

If you sell the sets you have as a lot, you may get less than if you sold them separately.

You should try EBay and use their completed listings tool as well as Bricklink. There are other sites you can use as well to get a general idea how much your sets are worth. In the end, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Good luck :)

sorry, I am used to there being a button at the bottom that just says edit, not a gear at the top.
