Don't know which price can be.
These discs have bad reputation because of inferior mastering and sound quality for majority of the set. Also, any pressing other than West Germany for USA is of minor interest for collectors.
Are these for the USA or for the ROW market? Which are still sealed? This set has good reputation and sealed discs might go as high as $20 (20 EUR) apiece. But hardly more.
Another nice edition. However, not extremely rare. In a local record store they cost 11 EUR apiece. Sure, crazy sellers on ebay ask for 20-30 EUR but that is absolutely unreasonable price. I managed to purchase complete sets from ebay (6 out of 8 discs were still sealed). The price was 90 EUR + S&H (12 EUR).
Small boxes rarely overshoot 35 EUR apiece in local record store. I believe, a sealed set could go higher but not much.

Big pink box - depending on the number of the copy and the version of CD #23
Box *011914 is Chinese counterfeit. So, you know, worthless.
Original CD #23 has a glitch (manufacturer's defect) in the beginning of I Think I'm Going Mad.
Replacement #1 has wrong cue point (separation between tracks). Thus, the beginning of I Think I'm Going Mad is 'glued' to the end of She Was Hot.
Only replacement #2 is OK and the error was finally corrected. This one can go up to 150 EUR (+ shipping costs, that might be large because the box is heavy enough).
Yes, song is complete on replacement #1. And if you listen to the disc continuously there are no problems. The problem appeared only when you'll try to listen to Track #2 solely. In that case a few first bits will be missing. Replacement #1 is relatively common on ebay.Quote

This is interesting and new to me. I received the replacement #1 but did not know that there was a second one. I assume there is no chance anymore of getting this now (except for a lot of money on ebay maybe). At least the song is complete also on replacement #1.
If you are planning to sell these discs here you should show not only the images but also tell about the state of the discs, announce terms and conditions for sale, price, methods of payments etc. Like this or similar way.
This one is legit original copy. Price of 150€ (S&H included) is, probably, the best you can get for this one. Actually, in my local record store a sealed copy was collecting dust on a shelve for (almost) 2 years before it was sold. It was priced at 120€. This box was initially overpriced did not sold well.
Love You Live, Still Life and Sucking in the 70's are regular CBS editions made in Austria. These are not rare at all. Absolutely nothing special. Keep in mind, that red tray = nice price edition. Those were pressed in enormous numbers in 1990 before Urban Jungle Tour and were sold almost half price sealed.
Those are prices for still unsold copies (some of which are actually Japanese versions, i.e. EU box with extra booklet and OBI). One should check not for the copies currently on the market but for sale history (if one wants to sell but not to display). For EU box without extras the results for the past two years are

Current prices on discogs are 'display' prices. Most of those sellers are crooks with very specific pattern/sale politics. They placed items at overblown prices and are waiting for an idiot to make money and to cover all expenses in one take. These guys - KUPIKU-COM, Surface_Records, foreveryoungrecords - are simply crazy. The history of the sales is showing the actual median price on the market. Nobody will pay 500€ for an item if the market price for that one is 150€. I am positive that only an idiot (or one in a desperate need) would pay more than 200€ for this box.Quote

But you're in "competition" with current offers. A statistically low price is "useless" if there's no such offer.
