I have a 3 car IC-3 set in Amtrak paint! I only paid $3 for them at a yard sale! They need some work done to the pivot on one truck but, for $3 I think I got a good deal!

That's a great deal! The IC3 is a very hard set to come by especially in the Amtrak scheme. These models have been discontinued from Heljan for quite some time now and I accidently found these two sets at a train show several years ago and paid $75 for each set. Since then I've seen them in different paint schemes which sells for over $200 on eBay.

how much would one set be?

[electricrails]

The IC3 is not available anymore in the Amtrak scheme. I had acquired these sets at a swap meet a while back which are now becoming valuable. I've seen a similar set sell for over $200 on eBay.
