Value of First Great Western Train Tickets

Hi

I've got 2 x First Class Return Tickets valid on any First Great Western Train route.

I've decided I more than likely won't use these and wondered what a fair asking price would be if I on sold them (they've said this is ok). I'm obviously not selling anything in these forums (purely after a rough price guideline). What are the most expensive routes they operate?

Thanks in advance.

    I think you will find that the most expensive first class return ticket for a route entirely on First Great Western Trains is Brighton to Penzance via Salisbury.
    Anytime Return = £416.

    But you have two... therefore maximum 'value' is £830.00.
    But there is no First Class facility on about a third of that route (Brighton- Westbury).

    Haviing said that, that journey can be done for less that £50, depending on date and time.

    This makes the 'value' of those tickets less than £100.00 for both.

    Whoever buys them may not want to travel that far and will want to make a saving...
    lowering the 'value' further.

    If you can get £50.00 (total for both) I will be amazed.

    Now go and find your customer... :D
