Looks great! My experience with selling painted stuff on ebay is to make sure to get good pictures, and just start the bidding low and let it ride. People are much less likely to bid on an auction with a high starting price. It's a turnoff for most people, and a low intro price makes the possibility of getting a good deal attractive to buyers. That applies to pretty much anything, I guess.

The flip side is that you risk taking a loss on your financial investment, not to mention the time put into painting it. A high starting price might be unattractive to start and you're more likely to not sell at all, but won't the same thing occur once the bidding gets to a certain point anyway? Besides, you don't need lots of bids, you only need 1 if the starting bid is what you are willing to take for it.

Not arguing per se, just trying to give a flip view of the issue. I generally sell low like eohall suggested, but have seen this happen as well. Just a couple of cents.
