Versus

Army 1/52 a, d & e - Early Hoplite Greek -700BC to 450 BC
1 x 3 Cv Gen (1 base of Cavalry containing 3 figures)
9 x 4 Sp (9 Bases of Spears containing 36 figures)
1 x 3 Aux (1 Base of Auxilia containing 3 figures)
1 x 2 Ps (1 Base of Psiloi containing 2 figures)

To Buy = £23.20
Finished Valuation = £85.82

So, for both armies presented as painted and based  - Total Price = £168.12 

Individual painted armies in the buy-it-now section on eBay tend to range between an under-priced £38 to an overpriced £175. When individual armies are put up for auction, they tend to start at about the £30 area and can go for up to £100 after auction.

After putting in the time to buy them and then the effort put in to base and then paint them, you should certainly not undervalue firstly your work on the figures you have prepared.

£30 is far too low and £100 may be too high. However, you should be making enough time to enter them on the Collection Calculator to get a line on the real value of your units and armies.

By putting them through the Collection Calculator process and getting the valuation this will give you a guide to what you should be asking. You can then at least sell them at a reasonable and informed price.
