Toys and games graded Like New are worth about 85% of the same item unused, which across this category is $2 to $458 (about £2 to £340). Played with lightly and complete with its box. Once a piece is missing or the box is gone, it cannot be this grade whatever the condition.
Where the line falls
Toys are lost before they are broken: the box goes first, then the small pieces, and what survives is a set that is complete or is not.
For comparison, one grade up is New with Tags Toys and Games and one step down is Good Toys and Games.
