John sanders Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Hi, I'm new to this site. I've just been given a present that I was supposed to receive 36 years ago but it was left in a cupboard and forgotten about. It is a Crane Set (New Technical Set) code 855 and it is in absolute mint condition. What's something like this worth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Quite a bit...but...as with anything, it depends what another person is willing to pay. There might be someone out there who connects with that set on an emotional level because of childhood memories and will pay top dollar to acquire it.

thehornedrat Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Oh WOW, I'd donate that to the Lego Museum in Bilund! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 These old expert sets pop up on eBay from time to time. I would guess 300 or so for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I agree with the true valuation up to $300 - but I would do a $395 or best offer. Since there is little (if any) track record, and it looks to be in beautiful condition - someone would likely pay more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Have a search on eBay for this set and look at the sold listings. A boxed version, complete but opened went for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John sanders Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Thanks, I'll have to have a think about this. Ideally it should go to someone that has some sort of a connection with it or perhaps it should go to the Lego museum given its condition.
