At one time I came up with a simple formula for comparing the "value of goods" of ASL products. It's just an estimating tool, of course, and doesn't get into subjective issues of quality.
$1 a scenario if bundled with maps or other stuff
$1.50 a scenario if only scenarios
$5 a mapboard
10$ a countersheet
$10 a magazine
$5 for detailed rules or other documentation
It tends to work out fairly well.
Action Pack 7 with 10 scenarios and 3 mapboards calculates to $25 and it can be bought on Gamer's Armory for $23.40.
Blood and Jungle with 47 scenarios, 4 countersheets, 3 mapboards, a magazine and rules docs calculates to $118 and can be bought for roughly $100.
Schwerpunkt 16 with 12 scenarios and a magazine calculates to $22 and you can buy it for $23.75
In this case, even being very generous with the 1/4 countersheet, it only calculates out to a value of goods of $21. The additional cost could be called a "sympathy surcharge" due to the demise of HOB.
