I need your opinions. How much would you pay for this kit?

It is with a heavy heart that I am making this post, but sometimes life happens, and ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Due to a family emergency, I am about to sell one (maybe even two) of my kits. It took a while of debating on which one to let go of, but for various reasons this makes the most sense. That said, I will still be sad to see it go.

Down to business. What I have here is a late 90s to early 00s Tama Starclassic Performer EFX series, with the liquid metal wrap, Made in Japan, in a six piece configuration. I've had it for about 3 years now, and I am the second owner, the first being a retiree who bought it new.

Noteworthy mentions off the top of my head:
-There's some yellowing on the wrap (the snare and 16" tom have the least of it)
- A little pedal rash on the batter side hoop along with a small spot where the wrap has chipped off next to it
- A few flea bites on the top side of the same hoop from what I think was making contact with the snare
-Extremely minimal flea bits here and there on some of the hardwear, not to the point of pitting. No rust. Very normal for a kit of this age that has seen some use.

Overall this kit is in extremely good shape. It has always been kept in cases, in climate controlled stoage. No warping, peeling of the wrap, rust, pitting, etc. When I say this thing is clean, I mean it is clean.

Sizes are as follows:
8" x 10"
9" x 12"
11" x 14"
14" x 16"
18" x 22"
5.5" x 14"

Alright, let's hear them opinions.

Edit: I am also including a set of Protect Cases by Gator.

A couple nice finds at the used boom store today.

I told myself I wasn’t going to buy the 60th anniversary edition, but then it showed up in the wild, and I couldn’t say no. 🤦🏼‍♂️ The quiz book was a cool find too.

Some leafy finds at my local plant shop today.

Snagged a rossii and a genoudiana, as well as a drimia crispum.

So, I picked up a nice solid Crown of Thorns, a euphorbia cylindrifolia, a pachypodium horombense, and a cool mystery plant. Any input on the tall leafy boy in the blue pot is appreciated.
