It turns out my second cousin (or so) has one of the Yellow Castles!
He's considering selling it, but neither of us know what a resonable price would be. I'll probably end up averaging whatever you guys say, so the more comments the better.

Hi Sir Smittens,
First - this post belongs in buy sell trade so I moved it there.
For the 375, much depends on how complete the set is and the condition of the figures and stickers. A castle alone, without figures is worth about $50-60. With a complete selection of figures in good condition - the set can sell between $140-$200+. Having the original box and instructions help as well. So as you can see there are a lot of variables. To get a good estimate, you should post pictures on the web somewhere.

It might be a while before I can check on the quality of stuff...I don't see him that often (It was at the end my last visit that we found it).
Thanks for the help Ben, and moving this here (though it took me a while to find it). I sure hope its at the low end of the $140-$200 range--I'll probably try to get it.

Hi,
I would try to get the castle for a cheaper price where you are both happy. Remind your cousin that he/she saves the money of selling on ebay, paypal fees, the effort of listing and shipping, etc. So I would try to get it for $100-$120 if you can.
For lost posts - click on you profile (while not logged in) and go to posts made by Sir Smittens, then you can find it very fast. I dont like to leave ghost topics linking to the moved one because it clutters up the forums.

I wish my cousin would sell me his LEGO. He probably has a 375 lying around somewhere. He keep his LEGO it for when little kids come over so they can play with it!!! The thought makes me said to see old bricks being wrecked, however he used to spray paint a piece if he couldn't find on in a certain color!!!

Hey, thanks for all the help you guys…
I think I kind of pestered him last time, so I'm going to wait a while before I bring it back up.
Unfortunately, he's keeping the legos in case he ever has kids, so I'm pretty much in the same situation as you guys.
What's working for me, however, is that this seems to be the only castle thing in his collection. He's not sure where he got it, as the rest is all space (hssss). He (hopefully) might not want a lone castle set on his hands…
