There really is no set price on what pieces are worth in today's secondary market. Sellers are trying to get what they were worth before 911 which is not what they are worth today and probably never will be again. Other sellers are also trying to get what they paid for them originally but that will probably never happen.

To make a long story short, figure your lighthouses at 1/4 to 1/3 of their original retail sale price and your in a good ballpark as to what they are actually worth in today's market and what they would cost you to replace them if you had to do it. There are exceptions to this and that includes HL102, HL102R and HL111 and possibly some of the rare variations such as Split Rock MI, Burrows Island OR and a mispelled Mukilteo. Other then these few pieces, it's how bad a buyer wants a piece as to what is going to be paid for a particular piece.

Bad news and not pleasant to hear but it is the truth. It hurts to buy a new release at retail and know that within 6 months or less it will be on Ebay at 25%-30% of what I paid for it.
