can someone point me in the right direction of the best place to find an accurate price on what this [Queen mania box set] is worth please?
i remember paying £200 for it back in the early 90's.
it seems that the sites that list Queen memorabilia [the ones ive seen anyway] miss out this item and also the Innuendo cd with the 1991 calendar included.
it would be nice to know how much these items are worth..
cheers in advance

At the risk of being flamed for offering an opinion...
Innuendo with calendar - £30
Queenmania - haven't seen for a while, but it always used to be £250
Fast forward a decade and it's £800-1000 if you'e lucky enough to get one. Last Discogs price (this year) was £840 and I've seen ONE at a fair over the last few years for £1k.
I was fortunate enough to get one recently for a very good price - well below its value - but it needs a little clean up. Worth the punt. Good things come to those who wait.
^ Unless you get a bargain and are after all the original CDs before the 1994 remasters. But of course, if you don't like it, you're right to leave it. One man's meat is another's poison and all that.
I've seen and heard mixed reviews. I haven't listened yet but I'm not an audiophile - I just like collecting, and this is quite scarce. At the price I got it for, it was a steal. If I decide it's not a keeper, I'll definitely be in profit further down the line - it's a half decent situation :p
