Probably around $150.00 would be reasonable

Do you have the original Box with all the contents?

If not, then though I hate to dissagree, I do not see any Un-SWed sets selling for much over $100 and most likely much less.

For the past few months I have seen NONE go for over $80... US Dollars, not Euro's.
I had a nice set that did not even reach that much and it went unsold and my reserve was only $100 USD.
I have yet to see ANY of them sell for $150 in the past 4 years.
Where are those prices coming from?
From BINs that are in store shops...

Just because someone lists them that high does not mean they will sell for that much.
Do you guys have sales to report too?
A store copy with a high BIN is NOT the same as a copy that was actually sold.

$150 (USD)?  Even if it was shrink wrapped I do not think that it would sell that high.
I do not know what 80 Euros equates to in USD, but if the set does not include the box and all of it is not in mint condition, then good luck.

That was a search of completed listings using "dragon archive" - pretty close to the prices listed above.

Well, $99-$127 seems more like what I thought they should go for.
Had not seen those though.

And you were within a few seconds of selling for £18, too, even after advertising here; http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0440800609 :/



Demand in UK/Europe is still low but it seems to have rebounded back somewhat in the US where $70-80 was beginning to look like a "common" price for a while.
