A faaaasaaaaaand paaaaaaa'dons if this is the wrong place to ask.

What the title says, I'm looking for some feedback on what would be a good asking price. There's one guy interested in this lot right now, but he's only willing to offer me €20 ($27ish / £16) plus Marine stuff (Either a terminator squad or a few tactical marines), which I'm not interested in one bit as I don't play Marines. Here's a pic of the lot:



Contents are:
10 Kroot
15 Fire Warriors
5 Vespid (including Strain Leader)
1 Sniper Drone Team
1 Limited edition Ethereal
3 Stealth Suits (with fusion blaster)
1 Hammerhead with both railgun and ion cannon, plus both support weapon options
9 Gun Drones
1 Shield Drone
1 Marker-light drone

Box holds the drones, flying bases, spare weapons and conversion bits from the Kroot and Fire Warriors.

So, what would be a reasonable asking price? I'm not looking for a fortune or to make a profit, but I'd like to make something from it at the very least.

Bro that set is worth a lot more than what he's offering. I'm interested. PM incoming.

Mainly, that one ethereal is extremely rare on its own. Then all the troops, xenos, and vehicle make it sweeter.

Yeah, tell that dude he can suck it. Thats a horrible price.

The limited Etherial (unpainted & in good condition) sells for £20-30 on ebay UK

You've got well over £100 worth of stuff at current retail prices. Your stuff has been assembled and partly painted, which makes it worth less, but I would not let it go for under £50 or about triple what the other guy has offered you.

Thanks for the feedback chaps, I may or may not have a buyer now, a serious one at that!

I also received quite a few emails from the lowballing guy, he's really desperate for the minis, but doesn't want to cough up more than 20, so he can just bugger off, student or not.

Sounds about right.

Figure out the retail of the models all together.

Then multiply that number by about 30-50% for your current condition. There's your number.

As mentioned if its the limited ethereal holding his drumsticks across his chest, it rarely goes for 20-25 US on ebay.

Again if the offers don't follow through, metal vespids and metal sniper teams tend to fetch good money on ebay.

He's not holding them across his chest, this isn't the limited Ethereal from the first codex, but the second codex:

I sold mine on eBay for a good sum, though I don't remember how much.

The Ethereal with drumsticks crossed was a standard piece in the originally released set of Tau, I believe.

I think there was a variant of it, a bit more pharaoh like I think. Hehe, I also have the limited edition bright wizard from the Empire deal years ago, but I doubt he'd go for much.
