Default OT: How much would you pay...

... for a fully-assembled Thomas the Train table set w/ track.

We have a non-thomas-brand train table (not one of the cheap sets) with six storage bins underneath it. And the table top has a fully assembled (screwed in so it won't fall apart) Thomas-brand set of tracks and buildings with a depot, fire house, bridge/tunnel, post office, etc. Its in perfect condition, my boys have just outgrown it.

So, what is the going rate for a set like this in your area? I don't want to under-sell it because we paid good money for the set a few years ago and I know its still valuable. But I also dont want to ask too much, kwim?

((I also have a big set of thomas and non-thomas wooden and metal trains, some of which are battery-powered and make noises, etc.))

We bought something similiar for our son, but without the Thomas theme, new for about $150... so a used Thomas set, I'd probably pay like $75 for... it's hard to say without seeing it though. Good luck!

we kept our Thomas wooden trains and the train tracks ... something for my son to hand down to his children some day.

Not sure of the $$ you might check ebay maybe?

We sold ours for $50 but I sold it to a family friend so I priced it low...

For a lot!

Seriously, you guys had to invest a ton of money in it Jenny. I know the one I got Cooper for Christmas was a $160 and its not Thomas. The table itself I think is $200 with nothing on it.

are you listing it on craigslist? If so I'd go a bit higher than you think and then put OBO, just see what people offer. You can always bring the price down later, and it doesn't cost to list it. I love Craigslist!

There is currently one on our Craiglist for $250, being the mommy of a Thomas fan, I thought that was a fab deal. Course my son already had most of it, I did email her to see if she would break up the lot and sell some pieces. Last summer, I bought a big tub full of tracks & about 30 trains & a few small pieces like the train wash for $140. It was a steal IMO.

The ones around here sell for a pretty penny. We got our boys a Thomas table/track and tons of wooden trains last Christmas, and I know how much we invested in it.

Make sure you price it right, so that you're not losing a ton of money ... especially if it's in really good condition.

This is great advice! And whoever said to check ebay too. We are Thomas lovers here too - ds got a non Thomas table and set for Christmas and we spent around $120 - but the Thomas brand stuff is really expensive (and good quality). Definitely compare prices. Good luck!

I have a huge Thomas fan here too, but as we're on the other side of the world, I won't be much use to you on pricing. But lets just say that the prices I see in the post would be a complete steal compared to what we paid for DS's Thomas stuff.
