What changes this ornament's value
Start from the reference range, then adjust for box condition, paint wear, missing accessories, and working status before pricing a listing.
Original box status matters; clean boxed examples should be compared against upper-range sold comps.
No electronics adjustment is expected, so focus on paint, attachments, and packaging wear.
Railroad name recognition can help, but values still track condition closely.
Boxed examples photograph better for model-train collector buyers.
