Visited a long standing model shop today. I will spare their blushes but:

 

Hornby 86219 Phoenix unboxed £95!

lima 87005 city of London unboxed £115

triang E3001 unboxed £75 ironically the rarest being the most reasonable!

 

Because apparently you just cannot get hold of them! They were there on my last visit a year ago lol...

 

Best thing is to take a couple of models in there to sell!  With those sort of sell on prices, you should a fair price!  Call their bluff!

 

Good thing with Lima is its pretty robust.  Not like newer stuff which when it breaks, you struggle to get bits for!  With things like Bachmann 37's selling at like £130-£150, then can quite easily see there being some demand for more basic models at a reasonable price!

In this modern connected world, anyone who really wanted one of those models would be able to find it at a reasonable price online. Just a little research would save getting on for a £80+ over those prices.

 

However, a fool and their money.....
