Someone who just wants the tower for display might pay 150-175 tops I would say.
So I’d recommend 50% off what you’re trying to get. Sometimes sets just don’t
sell for no apparent reason too. I’ve had a complete set listed as the cheapest
in the world and it sat over 2 years while others sold that were more expensive.

  Hello,

I have had a lego set (Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc 10237-1) on sale for
a couple months now, but its just not selling....

I am thinking of cutting the pirce down to around 300 euro (now it is 350 euro),
but Im not sure if it's too low for the value of the set...

The set isn't complete and is missing quite a lot of items (no tree beard,
no minifigs and accessories, no eagle ,no Original box, no instructions, no Palantir,
no "3068bpb0661", no "33009pb045" ).

I am asking for help to find a good price for this set so that it will sell.
or any other tips to make this set more appealing.

Thanks for any tips or support!

PS. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post.

(I have deleted the item a couple weeks back and now it is back up on my store,
so dont mind the list date)

I think I know the set you're referring to, and all but one of those sales
was less than yours. I think in this particular instance people are willing
to hold out. Just a hunch really.

As for the OP, with all the stuff that is missing, I think you basically have
an assembly of relatively common black bricks. The 150 price suggestion from
others seems pretty fair.

Not sure how you’d know what set I meant when I sold it several years ago…

My bad, assumed you meant the cheapest one in the world you had at the moment.

thanks for the help.
but I have now unlisted the set form my store.
