These are in pretty high demand right now, as the Sierra Quest games are all out of print, at least until Sierra releases them again. You could probably get around $100 since yours is boxed.

Status : Online | Yeah, Amazon Marketplace has one for $220, though that doesn't mean anyone's going to buy it. The going rate on (and off) eBay seems to be around $90 - $120.

For which Sierra Collection series is that??
The ugly boxes which the huge NUMBER on the side saying how many games it contains.
(they're still being sold in Holland for about $15 at computerfairs)
Or the original Sierra 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition's? (or are those worth even more, because they're older?)
Or the pretty boxes: Quest for Glory Anthology, Police Quest Collection - The 4 Most Wanted,?
Is there a website that gives advice on value?

Status : Online | Yes, believe it or not, the "ugly boxes" as you call them are going for around $100. It varies by specific collection. At the moment Quest for Glory seems to be the hot one, with Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry fetching somewhat less.
Any Sierra adventure collection will fetch good money these days, simply because the games aren't being sold in stores. The 15th Anniversaries seem to go for more (I saw a KQ in shrinkwrap hit around $150 recently), the earlier collections like Anthology and Four Most Wanted seem to land in the $40 - $60 range. Roberta Williams Anthology also seems to hover around $90 - $100. Cut the price by at least a third if there's no box, as that weeds out the collectors.
No secret website that lists values (that I know of). I just follow the market, talk with other collectors, and watch what items are closing for on eBay. On that last one, remember that eBay is fickle, and it only takes two people to start a bidding war and get the price up to astronomical levels. The prices I've given here seem to be consistent for the most part.
Let me know if you can pick me up the Space Quest Collection ("ugly" box). It's the last one I need, but I'd prefer to trade.

It's still being sold in a box in Holland for $6.
The store also sells:
Siera 3D Adventure Pack $7
Sierra Editors Choice Pack $7
I guess I'll buy an extra copy of the Roberta Williams Anthology and try to sell it on e-bay..

Status : Online | Could I just ask something here. Who is paying $100s of dollars for these games. I have 6 - 7 boxes of old games in my basement in mint condition most of them and I'd be lucky to get $5.00 for them including shipping. I have the very first LSL, Goblins, Gold Rush, etc. And I'm afraid to ask money for them for fear that people will laugh at me. Maybe I should start an auction here and list the bunch. Just wondering.
