I painted up 24 15mm AB Brits for sale on eBay. Now that I have them done, I really like them and will find it hard to part with them. Usually I just start my bidding at $.99 USD and figure I'll get whatever my item's worth, but in this case I really don't want to sell them too cheap. So some of you eBay veterans, please have a look at them on my blog link and let me know what you think they're worth. It will help me make up my mind whether to list them or not. |

Those are nice. I wouldnt part with them for something as base as money. |

Put a reserve if you are worried, but of all the items I have put up on ebay, I think I have always gotten a fair price. I looked at your miniatures and I cannot believe they would get a premium price. Maybe three or four dollars, just kidding. |

Looks good to me, and I wouldn't worry about not getting a fair bid in the end. I don't usually bid in auctions that have a reserve, and some other people share that feeling. If you are concerned, do a starting bid of $5-10, enough that you get something if the unspeakable should happen but not so high as to discourage early bidding. |

Like others have said, I don't like reserves, so set the minimum bid higher the .99 at what ever level you are confortable eltting them go for… |
