this is peanuts, I know, but based on a quick ebay search of sold items just now, I think I would break even or make less than 20 or 30 bucks if I patiently sold a 1973 complete set I built in fall 2009.
summary of the build:
bought 36 lots on ebay.
2000 +/- total cards
nine of those were 1 card lots.
7 of them were more than 100 cards.
sold 1300+ doubles in one lot after completion.
Net spent was $320. overall grade is closer to VG than G.
It was a lot of fun , I've "looked at the cards" probably less than 10 times since then, and will probably look at them less than 10 times in the next 10 years. But I doubt I'll ever sell it if all I can get for it is $300 or $400.
******
that being said, I've always understood and believed that the whole is way less than the sum of it's parts when it comes to building card sets.
