I just found most (if not all) of the bags for 6190 sealed. Some of the parts,
in particular the trans-neon orange, have no listings or sales in the last
6 months. Any ideas on how to price these? They seem in demand as used condition
so I imagine I could price fairly high. So should I just go for the "price super
high and gradually lower it" philosophy on these or is there another less hands-on
approach to sell these like: price at 10x average used or some other "rule-of-thumb"?

Just checked a few of the parts, but all seem to have new listings, maybe not
all have sold new…

Just part it out in the system, see what it gives as prices and if non are given,
do what you think is fair.
Sometimes 10x used is okay, other times 2x is right, often for parts slightly
above used is best.

Good luck,
Maxx
P.s. maybe check for completeness and buy the missing parts new and sell as a
set…
