Okay, so auction on ebay with a reserve price, with a good all inclusive name. What would you say is a good reserve price (mini dependant obviously). We have a local store that does some card games and some rpg stuff (not a good stockist of much really) we asked if they would be prepared to let us sell the painted minis through them and they agreed (need to sit down and discuss this better with them) However they want 25% of final sale!! what do you think? Remembering that I dont know what the demand is in Peterborough for painted minis, we do have a GW but I am certainly not about to go and ask them!

Your reserve should be whatever the minimum amount is you want for the figure. Take into account the quality of the paintjob, the time taken to paint it, and the desirabillity of the model.

I wouldn\'t bother selling through your local games store. You\'ll get far better coverage on Ebay (the whole world as opposed to Peterborough), and the percentage Ebay takes (even if you use Paypal) shouldn\'t come anywhere near 25%.
