British Coin Help?

[boristhespider88]

I have the opportunity to buy a 1968-1971 British Pre-Decimal coin set from a buddy at work. The coins look okay (nothing real special condition-wise) but I dokt want to rip him off. What would be a fair offer on them? It's the little blue wallet set of coins.

Look at recently completed eBay auctions to see what they've been selling for. I did a quick look and selling prices were anywhere from a buck up to maybe $5. Hope this helps.

Those blue wallets are pretty common, worth maybe a buck or two. Common coins in a common set, so not worth much at all.

I figured as much; I found a link online that said they were worth only $2 or 3 bucks, and I know he wanted to sell them just to get a little cash. I didnt have a set of them so I gave him $6. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt screwing him by just giving him $6.

Thanks Generic_Lad!

The catalog says $1.50, but if you feel happy paying $6, that is all that matters.
