Selling off some of my old collection but I'm not sure where to start pricing

A sample of some of my work

One of my heavier conversions with lots of colors and a unique model. Would this go for something like $40? More? Less?



IMO some more decent paint but not standard color schemes. Would they lose value because they may not match their own collection, or how much would it increase for a good paint job?

I've got 2 cases full of models I haven't done anything with for years to clear out

Probably should move this over to swap shop.

I'm not selling anything here though, just asking how you'd price models to sell which are painted to the quality displayed here

My guess for these pictures: good enough for not loosing value, maybe if you take your time you could gain some over retail.
If you are in a hurry with low starting bid they might go below retail.

A warlock cost 11$ new at gw, maybe 22$ sounds reasonable? However i might be misjudging as the pictures are kind of small.
You could always price them like 40$ and lower by 5 every week.

It might be easier to sell them individually, doubleing the price for the whole lot would be hard i think.

Its really hard to guess though, i am guessing there is not really a big market for this level of painting, either people buy reeaaally pro painted or they buy commisioned where they can pick their scheme. Yours is kind of inbetween, pretty nice but maybe not exhibition quality.
take it with a grain of salt, i may be biased in my own opinion.

Only thing i can think of that might hurt you is the market. i have no idea if there is a demand for pre painted miniatures that aren't full armies.
