Ok here’s the deal. I have aquried 3 Roundhouse kits as follows:
HO 2 truck Shay Kit #360 undecorated - new in box
HO 2 truck Shay kit #360 undecorated- kit started, some paint
HO B-2 Shay #309 C & O
My question to you all is what are the values of these items. I’ve looked them over and have decided they are too much for me. I have no desire to build these kits. My thoughts are to put them up for auction on ebay. Any thoughts any of you may provide will be greatly appreciated.
If and only if they are complete, I would say around 60-80 dollars per kit.

Do a search on eBay for completed auctions, that should tell you what they have been going for. And what difference does it make anyway? An auction is an auction. Start at a certain number and you will get what you will get. There is no certainty in auctions. Start with too high a price and no one will bid.
Most of the Roundhouse Shays I have seen on Ebay sell for between $45.00-$55.00 with opening bids of between $20.00- $30.00. I have seen the odd one hit $65.00. Ron
