What would you think is a fair price to pay for wargame standard ACW fig?

Maybe $1.50 USD per foot, $3.00 USD per mounted?

50 to 75 cents.

Don't know about 10mm but I was charged when ordered for 15mm $1.50 USD for infantry and $3.00 USD for cavalry. If I was buying at a flea market it would be closer to $1 USD inf and $2 USD for cav. If I was buying out a collection (large numbers of units) it would be about $.75 USD for infantry and $1.50 USD for cav.

The assumption was that they were painted to "good" quality (no eyeballs painted). The lower prices for used figures was that the work was done on the figures and the owner was selling to get rid of them. The lower price of collections
was that owner would not have to sell over time (largest collection I bought was for $2,000 USD). Have also sold collections with same philosophy but it wasn't 15mm.

2 to 3 times the lead cost.
