Can't really say if your prices are good without knowing the flux, tint, and forward voltage bins of your stars. Those have enormous influence on the value amongst the cognoscenti.

the luxV price is good, especially for having a bin code.
Edit(assuming V binned flux, and availability)
I dont use one watts, but $8 is not bad at all.
Edit(for a Q or R flux bin and H Vf bin)

For luxIII I would buy the TV1J for $15.30. I have seven or more of them(its easy to lose track) and they are all very well binned imho.

As a general matter, I've noticed that the going rates are as follows:

For a V or W bin Lux V with a nice tint and a Vf of T, $35 wouldn't be out of line.

For a Lux III like a TWOJ, TXOJ, or TYOJ $15 would be a good price with the norm being in the $17 or $18 range.

For a 1W lux, I'd say that $11 would be a good price.

Just keep in mind that the prices I listed above are for known bins that are sought after because they are generally known to possess desireable characteristics. I'd rather pay $16 for a Lux III and have a pretty good idea of what I'm getting, than a lower price and not have any idea of what I'm getting.
