I'm surprised you didn't list Dragoneye in the major value providers among your list of early sets that contributed to your overall set value. Dragoneye was so underproduced, they are just so valuable.[:p]

So I just added the value of my collection based on Zenako's most recent price guide. I added his prices into my spread sheets, did a little number crunching, and came up with a total.

Not including repaints, promos, maps, tiles, or templates, my collection is valued at $14,031.16. [:0].

That's far higher than I expected. The majority of this price is tied up in the first few sets, especially Harbinger, Archfiends and GoL.

I wonder what Mrs. Monkey will say when she learns of this.[B)]

Anyone else have any idea what their plastic-crack is potentially worth?

Actually it didn't take more than 20 minutes to do. I already had my collection on Excel spreadsheets. It was just a matter of copying Zenako's price guide into Excel and then using the "Data -> Text to Columns" function and a couple of simple equations.

I know I am no where near you guys, but it would be cool to know.

Well just a slight damper on the ole value thingy.

The price you get using the Guide values would reflect the average cost to buy them as singles from online stores.

If you wanted just one of each, typical set prices are about 1/2 the price for singles added up.

EBAY prices (if available) run about 1/2 to 2/3 of Guide prices.

Places that sell minis will sometimes give you bucks for them as well in the range of 40%-55% of their expected retail.

So, putting a $ worth of 1/2 the total is pretty accurate, since that is about what you could possible sell them for, while replacement cost of about 75% would be in the ballpark (unless you are just a collector and need only one of each then 50% would be the mark...)

as for my horde value, I take the 5th.....I can say that as of this afternoon after paying for a few EBAY wins I have a net expense of about $3700 for close to 14K minis...

Im anal a bit about my spreadsheet and thought i should include this info for anyone who is interested in it.

has all the sets, promos and repaints.

the top 15 or so rows are static and do not move, gives numbers for each set and the value. Both Z's guide and scrye (scrye is in there so i can compare and because my FLGS pretty much goes by the book according to scrye).

Each set it gives totals for the value, minis and gives averages between S and Z guides.

I also have columns for things pending in trades both outgoing and incoming.

Next thing im going to work on is adding pricing for incoming and outgoing trades but still working on that.

anyway, let me know if you want a copy of it.
