Hi all, I've got some 10mm painted and based Sudan war figures for sale but have no idea what to ask for them. I am selling because I want to start 10mm Zulu war.
I have,

2 units of EYG inf 24 men each
3 units of EYG inf 16 men each
3 units of EYG cav 8 men each
4 gun crews no guns
1 Brit highland reg 26 men
DERVISH
2 units of 37 inf , ansar
2 units if 40 Inf , Dervish
1 unit of 17 camels
1 unit of cav
1 gen
I can't add photos on here for some reason but all painted and based. Just don't know what to ask for them, I will be listing on eBay today. Any help would be great. Paul.

That's roughly 13 packs @ £5 a pack unpainted. As you get 20 free listings I would start bidding at a price that you would be happy to sell for, as stuff does not seem to always get may bids.

If it was mine I would start at double bare metal and see how it goes. If it does not sell first time put it on again.

I charge 50p per foot figure in 10mm, but that's for commission and for what people want. Listing items "on spec" can go brilliantly if someone wants them (for instance 28mm or 20mm WW2 Germans always seem to go well, esp. if they have the rarer but far shinier kit...), or can die repeatedly no matter the price or quality if it's something that people just get fired up on. Bare lead at double and see if you get any bids doesn't sound bad, if you're happy with that as a minimum. But as Orcs says, if you're not just keep it listed!
