You and me both! I was at a local toy fair in January and a mint Captain Scarlett SPV in an unopened box was for sale at £250. At current exchange rates that's just about about $500. (£1 = $1.94)
I estimate that to get the Dinky's I'm after in mint boxed condition will cost me about £900 - $1800, give or take the odd cent.
Back in those days I didn't care about the boxes toys came in, I just ripped them apart and played with the toy. At the end of the day it got slung in the toy box with all the rest. Someone must have been thinking ahead though and put an extra one or two away in the attic as investments.
