Out of interest, is there any market in these things which forces the asking
price for these to be rather better established than a guess in the hope that
someone might pay it?

€140, or £108, seems a lot; I have a horrible feeling that in N years time there
will be all sorts of silly demands for "original packaging" and "mint
condition", rather as with model cars or railways :(
