Well, you see them coming up on eBay all the time (although not without the
RCX controller) - I just did a search and saw them selling in the $80 to $100
range.

However, if you don't need it, you can sell the RCX by itself via eBay - they
are fetching $40 to $60 which makes the rest of the set look pretty cheap.
(2 motors, sensor, gears, axles and a *bunch* of other stuff for maybe $40)
