davidmull Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Ok we all know 8868 is one of the best sets of all time but what are they actually worth now with or without box,iv a chance to buy one now in perfect condition but it has no box so what's it worth in euros? Quote

I'd say about 50 - 60 euros if its without box. Perhaps a bit more if it's mint. I'm lucky to have one in box, never build, got it for around 100 euro on fleebay. Quote

The box is meaningless, so it doesn't matter if it has that or not. What you want is the model. I bought mine back before Bricklink was around and paid almost $300 for it. I've never regretted it.

RockeTeK Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I recently got a 8868 from someone who desperately wanted to get rid of the stuff that he called "trash". After a small negotiation I got it for EUR45,- but I think its value is around EUR100,- to EUR150,- simply because it is a classic and collectors item. Quote
CP5670 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 It's definitely worth buying if it's in display model condition. I have two of these sets for which I paid about $100 each on ebay (in that condition with box), but that was 10 years ago. The box is meaningless, so it doesn't matter if it has that or not. Well, I would pay a little more if it did have the box. The boxes back then were actually worth keeping. I still remember the look of all the pneumatics in the parts tray. Quote
davidmull Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 I can get one for 60 euro so I take it that's cheap Quote

prateek Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Yes! Get it. The lowest price for one on BL is $130 Canadian, which is around 95 Euros. Quote
phool Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) The BrickLink Price guide is usually a useful indicator. In terms of the last 6 months of sales the average price used is EUR 86.84 / US $113.56 and one new set was sold for US $300. Edited January 26, 2011 by phool Quote
BrickDemon Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Maybe I'll sell mine.. I was never that impressed with the set.. Quote
davidmull Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Maybe I'll sell mine.. I was never that impressed with the set.. How much u want for this? How come u don't like it? Quote
BrickDemon Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 How much u want for this? How come u don't like it? Well, don't like it.. it's an interesting set and a great build, but the working is kinda dissapointing.. I was kinda expecting something like the 8043 at the time (but not RC). I'm under the impression pneumatics are not for precision controls.. only good to open and close doors and push things from a conveyor belt.. I'm almost sure it's complete, most pieces are in mint condition and only used for one build no play, with box and instructions but I'll have to check first.. if it's complete I guess it will go for somewhere in the middle of what they ask on bricklink.. so I think arround €80.
