$250 is the extreme top end of the range for something like this I'd think. It's nice and probably old (like late 1950's/early 1960's old) but not ancient. The case is nice, but not spectacular. Tools are mostly clunky, as they're easily outdone by more modern tools. I wouldn't pay more than $150 at the very outside. I wouldn't be interested in buying them though. Not much value there use-wise. Some value in "old bonsai tools" aspect of them, but that's limited.
