Marx Set

It sure does have value for a Marx collector who needs it.  Hard to judge value by guessing what engine it is, but the original box is there, and if you can judge by the tops of the cars they look really nice.

Thanks for the information. The set does look like it is all there and in very good shape.  Three rail is not my thing, but if this was some highly collectible set I would consider picking it up. It is located in Mesa AZ, and has been listed for a couple days now.

 Here is a link to the listing in case anybody is interested.

The book price range on set 4222 is $30.00-55.00. There is nothing in the set that is not pretty common. Even though the book is old, I find it reasonably accurate with the exception of sets with hard to find or rare pieces. Not seeing the sides of the cars and not knowing how well it operates, I would suggest a value somewhere in the middle and that also seems consistent with my observations of e-bay sales.

if that was local I'd probably pick it up.

It is about 50 miles from me, or I probably would too. Like I said, I am not a 3 railer or collector, but this might make a decent around the Christmas tree train. I really want a G scale for that though. A few months ago when I wasn't really considering it, I was seeing G scale sets on Craigs for cheap about every day, now I haven't seen one in a month, on my side of town anyways.

6 miles from me, and I would get it for the freight cars to pull behind my Marx, locomotive, but at that price I'll have to pass.

It has been listed several days now, and says "OBO", so you could always toss an offer out. You don't know if you don't try.

excatly!

That seems fair it would have to be mint to warrant $50.00 but if you get it for 30-35 dollars that would be a fair deal. I have always like marx they were neat..
