Their value is pretty high. Again, I'm no expert, but on average I would say the kind in this post (in good condition) goes for around $125 - $150. "Made in Japan" on the bottom is a good thing. Also, a magnet on the bottom is a plus. The magnet was used to secure to your dashboard (remember when they were metal?). I don't realy collect Hula stuff, but I did find a "Made in Japan" with the magnet a couple of years ago in an antique store for $20 and couldn't pass it up.
