Other Should I keep or sell these?

Post image

I bought these at a thrift shop in Japan for the equivalent of 70 USD (total).

They are both factory sealed.

I couldn't help myself when I saw them sitting on the shelf, but they do not really fit into my collection.

Any thoughts? Would there be any cycling enthusiasts happy to get them?

Edit: to stay in line with the group rules, this is a DISCUSSION post, not a SALES post.

They're cool sets, but if you don't have any affinity towards German cycling, I would send them back out into the world and get something you actually want.

A quick look at historic sales show you could probably 2x-3x what you spent. (Terapeak/eBay pricing, not BL)

A good compromise might be getting something that better suits your collection from the same 2000 era.

maybe you are finding something that fits its style?
paradisa and belville has white and pink going on, cycling gang running around in a sandy beach resorts, no?
oh wait, belville minifigs were helluva large.
yet again paradisa sets may cost some 44,610,000 million dollars themselves now, maybe😑
