It all depends on how bad someone wants them. However, the site you linked will tell you a price that they would pay for them if you contact them. That will give you a place to start.

Welcome to the forum.

Already did that bud and waiting on that, but you know how they'll roll wanting to make profit and all, thanks though. I have a number in mind but I'm seeing what an uninterested 3rd party would put them at...?

I believe that NIB, $400 - $450 is a fair price. Gouging hurts us all in the end.

Id say thats about right for the set. Dependint on condition.

I dont think that is gouging. Its simply supply and demand.

To someone like myself who isnt really into bali's that much. If I could buy them for $300 I would probably list them for $400. However, they might sell to someone who is looking for them for a lot more then that.

These numbers in general seem to match the general consensus on what these are worth. Impressive how these have matured in value, I wouldn't have guessed it. Thanks for the info and I'll consider this answered!

Sorry, meant to imply that anything above $450 is gouging which really does hurt us all in the end.
