    Berg chisels of your vintage in good condition sell for around $50+ each.
    A full set like that comes along rarely.
    I think $500 would not be asking too much

    The 1/8” Berg chisel is worth around $250+ on eBay (US).

    I bought an 1/8” Berg at the Bathurst swap a few years back for $2.
    It was ok but not mint, I put it on the table at the last tool sale I was selling at and got $80 for it from memory.
    Stuff does go for stupid prices on eBay occasionally but you need at least two nutters.

    I bought a set of Berg socket chisels a few years back. I paid what I felt was a fair amount for them, but could have sold the 1/8” on eBay in the US and got all my money back. The small ones are in short supply and the collecters are prepared to pay apparently.

    There are two kinds of Berg 1/8" chisels. The common one looks like a mortice or firmer chisel - parallel sided. The rare and expensive one is bevel edged.
