Walt Disney Treasures Tins Complete Collection

I was wondering what a current estimate would be for a complete series OF WDT dvd sets, every season, not sealed but in excellent conditions (except for a few dents here and there due to mail transport), and viewed only once. Included are all original artwork and certificates/goodies.
All region 1 and bought from reliable dealers (Amazon, Play.com).

I'm considering to sell my collection for a fair price.
What amount can I start thinking about here.

Me, I have no idea. I bought them years ago but can't remember what I paid for them then, the early ones. I only know what the current titles go for.

I'm not selling it here and now, let this be clear.

I'm considering to sell my collection for a fair price. Might or might not. What amount can I start thinking about here.

Depends if you looking to make a lot of money..When you bought them,
they were probably in the $20 - $25 range..The first two waves are are pretty rare and you could probably get around $200 for both..
the others probably go for $15 - $20 range except for Dr Syn (going for
around $50) and Donald 3 going for around $45..new

thanks for the insight, no it is not the idea to milk every penny from it, when and if i decide to sell it the goal is a quick sell for a fair, normal price. :)

I agree. The Treasures ARE priceless! The chances of this material being released again is slim. Keep them, enjoy them, share them, and pass them on to the next generation.

I would think they are worth more individually than as a lot.

If you're genuinely thinking of selling them - they're worth whatever someone will pay you for them.

But if you're like me, they're priceless ...

Like the Looney Toon Golden Collection, absolutely priceless. I have about 700 DVDs and those two are the only two parts of it I would never sell.

Well, after reconsidering seriously, I decided not to sell them after all. I reminded myself of the effort it took to collect them all, which isn't always easy when you live in Europe, due to custom charges etc, since they are region 1.

But I came to the conclusion it isn't really worth it, if I sell them I only have money, which will be spent again, while the argument that these will not be re-released like this is valid and likely. I'd rather enjoy them. :)

It would be too difficult to re-collect them for a reasonable price as each year goes by..
