Need info on a 1985 HO Bachmann set nobody seems to know anything about.

[ofbeatdown]

Hopefully someone can help.I acquired a 1985 Bachmann HO All-American Traveling Daredevil  Thrill Show Train Set,complete with both Dragcars,Stuntcars,track,cardboard mat,trains,etc...everythings there,all unused in the box.I can't find any info on the Net at all.I've asked 10 different guys that sell trains on Ebay,some with over 10,000 and 5,000 feedbacks,other guys with 10-20 yrs. experience but,to no luck.Nobody seems to know anything.The only thing i could find was a 1985 commercial on youtube(if you want to check it out just go to youtube and type in Bachman All-American Traveling Thrill Show 1985 toy commercial(That's 1 n in Bachmann on the spelling for the video)).I was hoping someone might be familiar with this set and if you are,do you know what the value of this set might be?I was wondering if this set could be pretty valuable,since nobody seems to know anything,it leads me to think this set is very rare thus,pretty valuable but,i'm not an expert.I need an expert's help.Thanks for all your time and help.

while not a price guide, people may find this site informative:

this page shows a pretty good selection of what bachman has produced over the years, and has copies of the old catalogs as well.

I was hoping someone might be familiar with this set and if you are, do you know what the value of this set might be? I was wondering if this set could be pretty valuable, since nobody seems to know anything, it leads me to think this set is very rare thus, pretty valuable but, I'm not an expert.

FWIW, based on my own observation and experience in buying a number of old Mantua/Tyco train sets, what the set is worth may pretty well depend on what someone is willing to pay for it at the time you attempt to sell it.

I hope that doesn't sound snarky, because it isn't meant to be. The condition of the set, and whether or not it runs, will have an influence on the worth, too. But, just to give one example, I've seen people pay what I considered a ridiculous amount for a Mantua/Tyco "Petticoat Junction" train--just the locomotive and cars, no boxes, and the engine with cosmetic issues--and others get the entire set, in good condition, with boxes, for what I considered a steal. It just all depends. ...
