Agree with Schumi that it's a tough call. What you have there is intellectual property in a sense and a LOT of work. Someone will have to recognize that fact. Otherwise, they are not worth much. Especially w/o a business model in mind.

In order of value I'd put the top first. Not just becasue it's the largest, but it has the most value as a special design. With design rights that mold could go for 5K or higher if someone recognizes what they're getting.

On the other end of the scale it's hard to call, The 930 part can't be a high volume part, so the mold is not worth much no matter how much effort went it to it. The rear panel part has potential and I've seen the interest. But, it's a simple mold for anyone to make that knows how to use it. So again, not much value. I'd say a little over materials or $100+.

A package deal might get you a pretty good value all things considered. If I hadn't been in the FG business years ago and know how much work it is, I'd be game. But, that's why none of my lastest stuff has ever been reproduced.

So, to recap, if the buyer sees the potential and the work involved, he will pay decent money. Otherwise, molds are not worth much on their own.
