It's worth whatever someone will pay for it.
I've been monitoring Bowser kit prices on Ebay for quite some time now, and I've been selling off some of my diesel fleet. Kits are fun to build and that's where my interests in model railroading currently lie.
Anyway, I just got an unbuilt Bowser Casey Jones Ten Wheeler unbuilt kit for a straight up trade for an Atlas/Kato RS3. A PRR K-4 kit oughta go for $50 or $60 if all parts are present.
Hey, if you want to trade it for something newer, I'll swap you for an Atlas/Kato RSD4/5 decorated for Chicago and North Western. That's a heck of a deal - Kato locomotives are the best running power out there.

Jerome : if you have a old Bowser K4 kit that is complete and unbuilt. They are not arround.
You may have something there. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So is price.
* Go to Bowsers train site and see what list price is. You know what you got it for. You know its condition. You determine what it is worth. People who buy tp sell always buy cheep. That is how they make money. That is what they are in it for. People how buy to own and use, look at things very differently. If you know exactly what you have. And say exactly what it is. Also expand your horizons and use mutiple sites. there is someone who wants it . It seams there is someone here. Talk ! Show photos to prove to the interested party its quality.

Well, I'm very interested, for sure. Jerome, I've sent you an e-mail.
For what it's worth, I'm a builder and operator, not a speculator. I enjoy building these kits.
