I got a mega paint set back in 2003 when I was learning sculpting miniatures and I recently restored it again.

I recovered 40 colours out of which 33 are in good shape.

8 are irrecoverable losses, either completely dried or corrupted.

I recovered 5 metallics, out of which 4 are in good shape.

4 are irrecoverable losses. I lost all gold and brass.

To my surprise it also turned out that 3 of inks are still liquid and openable. The rest rest is completely dried.

I just faced the basic problem that my dysgraphia makes it impossible for me to paint neatly with sufficient reliability so I'll probably never become a good miniature painter.

Which sort of makes it a waste to keep it. Like, I probably should have sold it back in late 2000s when I discovered online auction sites, but for some reason I just kept it which unfortunately ended up going bad.

Any idea how one would proceed with selling paints?
As in what to ensure that the paints are actually in sellable condition and stuff and whatever? Any ideas for reasonable pricing?
