There are a number of different package options that influence the repsective values such as spoonbowls, cubes pakages, complete meal packages, beverage packs and concertina bottles not to mention wet packs.

Rick Mulheirn Member Posts: 4167 From: England Registered: Feb 2001	posted 03-11-2012 09:06 AM Individually, I would estimate that collection to be worth around $1000 to $1300. But I have seen the item in question on ebay and its value as a display is greater than its individual componants. The starting bid is I believe $1500; in my opinion that is what I would estimate the entire display to be worth.

rgarner Member Posts: 1193 From: Shepperton, United Kingdom Registered: Mar 2012	posted 03-11-2012 09:16 AM No but I'm considering it. The difficulty I have is that I have no where to deliver it to at the moment. So if I buy it then it will be sitting in this persons home for the next month or so — not too sure how I feel about that.
