What would people think as a fair price for some painted 6mm planes, such as cost per plane. I'm trying to sell a load but not having much luck. Cheers Chris |

Depends what they are and how well they're painted. |

They are painted to a good standard and our a range of fighters and bombers from a range of companies. |

I've seen Raiden (6mm) planes available at $9 USD a plane, painted/decaled to a good standard. That seemed quite cheap to me, but the only data point I can offer. |

No, that's a good bench mark to go from, cheers. |

Painted figures of any kind sell better if you post photos. |

They are painted to a good standard That's quite subjective. My "good standard" may not the same as your "good standard"

I think it's impossible to say without a good photo. If you click the link above – adjust for quality of your 'good standard' relative to that standard and then I'd say halve your price because he is painting to order not flogging off a few models he doesn't want any more. TBH – unless painted really really well new unpainted castings are probably worth more than second hand, average quality stuff. |

If well done, and decaled, then 3X the base price of the unpainted minis. If only a basic paintjob, but cleaned up to eliminate mold lines and flash, then 2X the base price. If the mold lines haven't been eliminated, or they are poorly painted, or in incorrect camo colors/patterns, then .10X – .50X the basic unpainted minis cost, since they'll need to be stripped and repainted. |

I charge around $5.00 USD a piece for single engine WWII planes in 1/300. Quality =
I have been told I'm selling my self short, but it has been enough to keep the new figs coming in! |
