I need an appraisal on a one off item, anybody?

I have a master reel (? I don't know what else to call it?) and plates for the Turning Point It's Always Darkest cassette duplication.
I can't attach pictures here but I posted a bunch of photos on my instagram:

How much do you lot think this could be worth?? I'm thinking about trading or selling it. But I have no idea where to start.
Last clear vinyl that sold in 2020 went for $280 (popsike) and last two that sold on discogs in 2019 went for $350 and $275 so my guess if that it would probably be fair to ask more than $300, but how much more? Any thoughts?

Tough one!
I have a "test press cassette" of Insted-What We Believe but that was no way near $300. Not the same thing though.

Is it a 1/4 inch reel?
Sounds like a reel with a 2-track stereo final mix version.
Interested to see what the plates look like.

Yeah, that's the one I think. Big round thing. Never see anything like it. The plates are small plastic things to make them text imprints on the sides of the cassettes.

580 dollars? Does the text imprints contain the new (with tribal markings) or old New Age logo?

The plates are for this one:



$580 seems high but regular tapes go for $25-$30 so it's only about 20 of those, less than two clear LPs and probably about the same as LP test and there were 50 or so of those.
It's high but not outrageous since it's a one off.
I'll sell for less outside ebay/discogs.
