Here’s mine from 1:17-1:37, ran all day for three days and the pump kept the boiler level about right almost the whole time

Well, I have sold three of these in the last two years.
Two were brand new in the box. The third fired one time.
I sold both of the new ones over $2000.
One shipping to Europe.
The cheapest used one $1800.
A lot of ads show $2600 plus.
You really have to talk with the buyer and see what they are comfortable paying.
I have seen auction ones go for under $800.
These are much more popular outside the USA and rarer to find.
If your selling one I tend to start at what you would take for it and go from there.
Sometimes I see pretty cheap, I have given some away for free and other times I would only accept top dollar.
Find what you and the buyer are comfortable with and go from there.
$1000 from a private seller is on the low end. $2500 is topping out.
Mint condition will bring the higher prices for the collectors.
Someone who plans to use it will not pay that much.
Cheers.

Thats great feedback. Thanks, Jack :-)
I paid $2K for my 16051 unused in the box pristine condition.
Thanks for the price-reference.
Are you happy with your model ? Shelfqueen -or running it ? :-)
I've run the engine. I like it very much. I also have the Marklin carousel. They mak a great set to display and run. Good luck finding a suitable example.

That is a nice set !
I`d go for the carouselle as well, if opportunity.
Looking up more price results, found two carousels that only brought $160 each! Most of those are showing $400-500, but shipping is easily over $100…
Easier to get hold of a 16051 in my experience. I will look for one :-)
