Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Medium Basic Set since January 1963. Medium accuracy
LEGO 705-3 Medium Basic Set was a Samsonite set released in 1963. This is the tall box version of set 705.
Medium Basic Set is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 705-3 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 2,698 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $323.83 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Medium Basic Set is a very old set from 1963, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.
