I think a complete set is actually worth LESS than the sum of it's parts. A lot of folks break up complete sets and sell them coin by coin because they can make more money that way. I'm talking about older sets, like Indian cent, Buffalo nickels. I'm not so sure about the modern sets.

It's becoming common practice on e-bay for sellers to sell "complete" Jefferson or Roosevelt sets minus the 2-4 more difficult coins. Once you get into the older sets it becomes more pronounced. A set missing 15 coins will be called "almost complete".

Also, I know this sounds like a broken record - but with e-bay fees, selling individual coins is an uphill battle unless it's an older set where individual value is non-trivial.
