Actually I'm thinking if I was ever to buy DER ZAUBERGEIGER SETTEMBRINI I should have done so 20 years ago!
It's tricky coming up with prices on rare items. Normally you can look and see what they've previously sold for on eBay, compare that with current active auctions, and arrive at a number. When that's not an option (which is the case here), Discogs is a good site to fall back on- especially since you can see a low, median, and high price for completed sales as well as current asking prices. Again, not an option here. In that particular set of circumstances, I use the aforementioned parameters for a similar release from the same general time frame and that becomes the price point. If it sits around for a few months unsold, then you start lowering it.

Yup!! Even has the info at the bottom of the rear tray card slightly cut off- which is a sure sign of the actual pressing on Manikin and not the pirate repressing. I'll bet whoever was responsible for the bootleg version thought they were being clever by actually fixing that.
