Set Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Compass Sensor since June 2016. Medium accuracy
LEGO 10285 Compass Sensor was a Mindstorms set released in 2011. It was retired in January 2015 with a lifespan of 40 months. The current value for a new and sealed Compass Sensor is estimated at $59 with an average yearly gain of about 1% which is lower than other NXT sets.
Compass Sensor is an extremely rare LEGO set these days as we have not seen set 10285-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores good/new condition in over 2 years. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $58.54 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.

“This sensor is more advanced when compared to the sensors packaged with the Mindstorms kit, and therefore is more difficult to use in programs. LEGO seems to have good support for this sensor. Note that this sensor cannot be used in FIRST Lego League competitions and the... More instructions recommend placing it ~4 inches or more from motors and the NXT brick.”
