Royal Selangor BATTLE OF THE BRIDGE OF KHAZAD-DUM

Your best bet may be to keep an eye on eBay and see what the selling price (not asking price!) is when these come up. "Manufactured Collectables" are notoriously fickle when it comes to pricing, unfortunately.

Looks like the original RRP was $699.

One sold for 170 pounds at auction here:

Another one sold for 425 pounds here:
eBay Item #291291242716

And there is one currently on eBay with a BIN of 590 pounds.

I would guess that the somewhere between 170 pounds and 425 pounds is closer to the mark than the 590 pounds, as collectables rarely hold their value (in my experience), and 500 units is quite a lot of them. At the end of the day the value on any given day is what someone happens to want to pay for it at that instant in time. With books, it can vary wildly for the same title. What sells for price X one day will sell for double (or half) the next day, with no logic as to why.

Someone else may have a better idea of price, but I think most people here are probably primarily collectors of printed materials, more than anything.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying and that if I did sell it I suppose people on the day will pay what they want. I think the best thing for me to do is insure it for what I paid for it 10 years ago.

Cheers

If you are looking at insurance value, you are probably better valuing at the top end of the range (depending to some degree, as to whether you would actually replace it in the case of a loss, and what the cost of the insurance premium is).
