What do you guys reckon prototype pieces are worth? A local collector is selling most of what he has from the 70s/80s/90s and moving to a retirement community. There's a couple pieces he tells me are prototypes from Denmark.
There's a court jester torso that has cracked down the side, some sort of beret hat, a knight's helmet I've never seen before and most interestingly, a sea serpent based on the old green dragon.
He wants to sell the prototypes as a lot for $4000 and I'm kind of spooked since it's a lot of money for like 6 pieces. Then again, pieces like Mr. Gold sell in that neighborhood and aren't nearly as special. But this is super niche.
I've already bought about $3k worth of the guy's stuff and it's all correct so I don't think any of the items are fake. Everything but the beret has Lego stamps on it. It would empty most of my bank account to get these items on top of my purchases already, but it feels like a once in a lifetime kinda buy. I even found images of the serpent or lochness online and can't find any one else that owns one. He originally put the value at $5,000 for the lochness alone but is working with me since I've bought a lot from him.
