That particular dealer has items price up to 100x their actual value. I would NOT use it as any point of realistic reference. 

Lets try to do the math, Ok? 1stdids asking $6800.00, Ebay has them SOLD at $699.00 Both sets were complete, EBay also has pairs with Shanks not as good Selling for $150.00 to $200.00 (Un-Painted)

Your's is missing the shanks. one foot missing. Painted Black, so right there they wern't used in the  fireplace anymore. Big Big drop in the asking and sold price.. 

I would put these at $50.00 to $100.00, NOW.... But being the Maid and Butler I Might ask $200.00 and I would display them diff.  They are really cool, and you might get more depends on where you live.....Good Luck.
