LEGO 8-3 Basic Set #8 was a 776 piece Universal Building Set set released in 1973. It was released exclusively in Europe, the UK, Australia, and Canada and consists of various bricks in black, blue, red, white, and yellow, including standard and modified bricks, slopes, windows, doors, tires, and storage bins.

The current value for a new and sealed Basic Set #8 is estimated at $534, with an average annual growth of approximately 7%, which is higher than other Basic Set sets. On the open market, a used set will sell in the range of $169 and $259, depending on its condition.
Basic Set #8 (set 8-3) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of $533.59 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1973, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.

About Universal Building Set Basic Set
