I have the opportunity to purchase this set. It’s prewar but has been repainted. What would you think is a fair price to pay?

can't quote a price...but check it out real close...seems to be a reissue...it's in too good shape to be pre war....be on the safe side.....joe
Agree with Joe, can't begin to quote a price. From the one photo it looks like different shades of blue especially on the tender but it could be just the lighting/ camera. Hopefully you have more than just one photo to go by?
Yeah.........impossible to quote a price here on the forum based on one distant picture. If it is really prewar and has been repainted, a restored item brings a lower price even if the restoration is "professionally done" If the restoration was done " a while back" and perhaps not very well a price should reflect this. You have to like the work and the results. It looks nice but like the post above mentioned could be a reissue, again the price is based on this. In the front portion of the Greenberg price guides there is a lot of information on buying and selling , condition ,and prices. In the same price guides you can find a value for the item or items and negotiate from there. be careful and Good Luck
Enjoy
