I think the Chicken wire BG is also rare. Also, the horse stamps esquarian (SP??)
I found a charity listing stuff for sale, and I got Godspeed for $15.00 on ebay. I did e-mail and tell them to remember to list SU in the header, as I am sure she would have gotten more $$$!
I don't know if it is just my taste, but all the ones listed are not my fav's, nor do I have any, and I have been buying Stampin Up for about 8 years and have hundreds of sets.
There are many, many sets that are hard to get and the price often jumps dramatically.... These come to mind:
~ For the Love of Chocolate
~ Wild Wild West
~ Wolf
~ Courage and Honor
~ Godspeed
~ Snowglobe
~ Silent Night (the church from the Christmas 05 mini)
~ Christmas Cardinal
~ Sunny Season's Greetings (usually goes in the $50 range)
~ Just Flying By (an old Halloween set normally hits in the $30 range)
~ Chicken Wire Background
~ Old Map Background
~ Filigree Background (sometimes goes for double)
~ The Chill of Winter
~ Up on the Housetop or is it Rooftop?
~ Merry Little Christmas
~ All Aboard (a realistic train set)
~ Stella the Stamper (used to be extremely rare and expensive, but lately not so expensive)
~ Love Bakes (wooden set not foam goes for plenty as a rule)
Male themed sets tend to retire and are more expensive (as well as harder to find) as do a select few Christmas sets.
I've been looking for Godspell and Nature Prints ------ can't find either
Do you mean Godspeed? That and Courage & Honor are VERY hard to find. I finally found Godspeed, but have yet to find Courage & Honor, at least for less than $100 :o
Is there any resource other than the gallery to look up old Su sets? I have a Halloween set from probably 1997 or 1998. It's not Haunted House (darn it). I already looked that one up in the gallery. I am purging my stamp supplies and this is one thing I might like to get rid of since it's seasonal and my tastes in stamps has just changed radically in that past ten years. Would appreciate any help.

If you describe it or post a picture I am sure someone here will know what it is. I have old catalogs and can look it up for you.

You can try looking on Ebay. It's a bit hit-or-miss without the name, but maybe try "stampin up" and "halloween".

Funny part of this idea/list is the few sets that you all are listing as possible rare/big sellers are the sets I wouldn't give up even for a good $ amount! I guess that is part of the reason these sets are there. People want them.
I got a brand new Godspeed right here on SCS AND the wheel for only$22!
Yep, you read that right. The gal was new and didn't know what she had! I was nervous because she had very few posts, but she came through. I also can't bring myself to cout it even tho I would like to use it. sad I know. BTW I have Sweet herbs too (My former upline gave it to me for $10) I would be happy to send you some images stamped.

I have Oriental Gardens and once had someone offer me $40. But I wouldn't sell it for twice that! (Well, probably not.) And I hardly ever use it. What can I say? I think I am just a hoarder.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I checked my old Halloween set when I got home. Copyright date is actually 1995. There four stamps- the phrase "Happy Haunting!", a ghost by a headstone that says RIP w/ a bat flying above, a witch with a cauldron, and a haunted house house with ghosts and pumpkins. The style is kind of cartoon-y, not as realistic as the Haunted Halloween set. If there was anything that give the set name in the kit, it's gone now. I don't have a digital camera at present and I think my flatbed scanner wouldn't work well so I hope maybe someone can help based on the description.
"Harvest of friendship" recently sold on ebay for $51. It's a set of about 15, with a fireplace and a lot of different wreaths, stockings, candles, and other fireplace decorations. I've seen a few cards here on SCS, and it makes a real cute card.
Another similar one is Heart and Home. It has a door with several wreaths and door decorations. It's also real cute, but not as expensive.
WOW I have Coast to Coast, but not willing to part with it. Didn't realize it was going for so much.
I have Paper dolls and I had Snow Globe, but I gave that to a friend who started stamping (this was a while ago, bummer) and I think I have Silent Night at the scrapbook store I go to for her to sell. I put a few things up there and she said she would try to sell them for me. (the stamp sets are retired and there is some scrapbooking stuff too.)
However I have been looking for Winter is Calling. I had it once and loved it, but a "friend" really liked it so I sold it to her and now she isn't using it. I offered to buy it back, but she refused. And I am bummed. I wonder if I asked her again if she would consider it now. Anyway that is a really hard set to find too.
