How much are they worth then, if they are opened? I'm selling a V2 and a V3 
They're not cheap - low three figures. But it sounds like your using this topic to promote your sale. Hijacking someone else's thread is considered a little rude.
For future reference, try the method I use to determine the value of a modern deck. Look at recent eBay sales (and insure the items are legit, not forgeries). Use completed sales where the sale was successful to eliminate those who were asking too much and never sold their decks. Take an average from there. If the deck is rare enough or exists in small enough quantities to not appear on eBay, you have to wing it to some degree - negotiate with your buyer or seller, but bear in mind that lack of supply will give the seller more leverage on price. Retailers will charge a premium over what individual traders charge in the aftermarket, but sometimes, when a deck just doesn't appear anywhere else, you have to go with the retailer's price for your rule of thumb. I've had situations with retailers where I successfully traded for rare decks I wanted, giving them stock they were low on in exchange for the decks I wanted.
Just based on the image I am inclined to say these are not genuine, the image it a little small to say for sure but the print on the tuck looks pixelated indendant of the pixelation on the image, could you post a macro picture of the front or back, or just a much more zoomed in image? The genuine tuck wasn't printed on a digital printer as far as I know, the lines should all be clean and smooth edged, I believe the gradient of the shadow or smoke effect shouldn't look pixelated either. I had the same issue with a deck I bought cheap from an online retailer, too cheap to be true, and it wasn't.
They were without a doubt not made on a digital printer. The deck, like all of the older D&D decks and most if not all of the new ones, were made by USPC. USPC only uses digital printers for proof sheets - all their decks are made on offset presses. Large-volume runs for decks like the Bicycle Rider Back or the Bee Diamond Back are made on the web press, while the sheet-fed press is used for most custom work, especially anything in small quantities (10,000 or less would be small here, though they have done many larger jobs on the sheet-fed machine).
