What do you guys think a mint, unopened Mystery China Box is worth? Now don't low ball me thinking it can be had for a steal cause I am not a dummy, Smile lol.

I have heard anywhere from $200 to $350. I see a used one, no package on Ebay now for $245.

Thanks for your input Smile .

I think about 200$ shipped.
I've sold one my for 150$ opened, mint condition. And have one opened for sale.

Prices have dropped considerably in the last few years. A few items are worth more than $100, and Mystery China Box is still one of them. But no more than $150.

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated Smile .

I guess it all boils down to people will have varying opinions as to value of a multitude of items based on want, condition, and rarity. Of course that value is determined finally by what people will pay for things. It's funny, when I want to sell something I want a million dollars, but when I am buying, I want to pay one...lol. For truly rare items, whenever I have asked about price being high people tell me, "that's ok, you are free to find a other one", which I guess is true.

Not sure if was selling I'd agree that when a used item sells for $150 a new one is only worth $50 more at $200. If I was buying yes, Smile. Then again, there's a Mystery China Box on Ebay now, used, no box, for $234.....I'll pay a dollar! Smile .

It's a cool trick regardless of price and is very hard to find mint, and unopened and unused.

That trick is already on ebay for more than a year, at 234$ (If I am not mistaken) and frankly, it irritates me. It is not worth that, and personally I question having an offer on for so long. If it does not sell, lower the price, because the point is selling, right? It finally gives the impression to people that 'that must be the price', which is not the case. Inflation of prices is the result...

Also, it's used with no original package for that asking price, lol.

It is always irrelevant what the opening price of an item is on eBay: it only matters what the final sales price is.

Now that I see those prices, I could kick myself for having sold several mint copies for less than $90 each.
