Given, that the partout value is around EUR 800. I'd say maybe EUR 1000 ?
Dunno if this is an appealing set for collectors

A lot of the value depends on which colours of specific parts you have in your
version. If you get red ones of these:
you are in luck when it comes to the parts value. But you are out of luck if
you get the DBG ones. You can repeat that with quite a few parts in this set.
Although the part out value is high, the collectable value is much harder to
decide / get for this type of Dacta set as they are much less sought after than
sealed "regular" sets of the same period and size. Having a high value in terms
of parts will only get that value if someone happens to want all the parts in
the set (as parts) or wants to have that set as a set and is willing to pay a
premium.

Thank you for all the very useful information  . Since the set is sealed I don't
know if I should open it to check the parts. It is though just a cardboard box
so do you think it will devalue it if I open it?

Yes, it will devalue it if opened (as it will limit the audience even further,
as sealed box collectors won't want it, even if the box is a bit boring).
This is the real issue with this type of set where there are many variants inside
that vary massively in price. They are "Schrodinger sets", where you don't
know what you've got until you open them and by opening them you no longer
have a sealed example.
It might be best to aim high for the sealed set, then if it doesn't sell
after six months or a year, you can always open it and sell the parts as new,
hoping you get the rarer parts.
I wouldn't surprise me if you do end up selling it as parts. It is always
a shame to do that with an old sealed set but sometimes the only viable route
if the set does not sell. I cannot say I have ever met a sealed box Dacta collector.
But know plenty of people (myself included) that have sealed boxes of more normal
themes from early 2000s or before. I guess there must be collectors out there,
it is just a case of finding them.
At least you know the value of the parts you might get if you want to gamble
with the contents.

| Yes. I have several sealed DACTA sets listed for sale and they sell very slowly.
Dacta sets aren't really "sets" but a selection of parts for a classroom
setting.
I hesitated on parting these out because they are old and rare but it looks like
I will have to do so eventually.
