No gurantees yet but I might be getting out of war at sea. My collection really wasn't that impressive from the get go with the budget of a highschool student and I haven't touched the miniatures in awhile. So I'd like to ask how much a reasonable price for my little collection would be and if it's worth letting go of them.
The ships and aircraft I own (in no particular order) are: -TBD Devastator -TBF-1 Avenger x2 -SBD Dauntless -F4F Wildcat -USS Iowa -USS Fletcher x2 -USS Intrepid -USS Enterprise -USS St. Lo -USS Taylor -USS Atlanta x2 -LST x2 -USS Samuel B. Roberts x2 -USS John C. Butler -USS Salt Lake City -USS Barb -HMAS Nizam x2 -HMCS Haida -HMS Truculent -HMCS Uganda -HMCS St. Laurent -HMCS Sackville -Swordfish Mk. II -Le Terrible -HMS Cossack -HMS Hood -USS Montpelier -USS Tennessee -HMS Belfast -Rheinübung Bismarck -Z32 -Prinz Eugen -Z 20 Karl Galster -Yahagi -Musashi -Naka -Haguro x2 -Yukikaze -Tone -Scharnhorst -Königsberg -Agano -Ju 87B Stuka x3 -Nachi -Ambra -I-25 x2 -Kinai Maru -I-26 -I-19 -U-66 -Fi 167 -U-47 -Ju 88A-4 -Fw190A -U 510 -Bf 109 -Luca Tarigo -Hatsukaze x2 -M1 -Z18 Hans Ludemann -ZG3 -T27 -Shoho -Soryu -Akagi -G4M1 "Betty" x2 -B5N2 Type 97 Attack Bomber x2 -Elite A6M2 Zero -B5N2 "Kate" -Akitsuki -Terutsuki -D3A "Val"
You have a few fairly valuable "rares" (Akagi, Soryu, Musashi, Enterprise, Intrepid, Iowa, and R. Bismarck), and aircraft are always in demand. The rest are going to be fairly cheap.
In my opinion the best way to sell a small set like this is to price it for the rares and units you know are in demand (retail price), and then add a lower additional amount for the rest (wholesale price.) If you just "cherry pick" and sell the valuable units you will be stuck with the others.

Based on Strikezone your good rares are worth about $330.00. I didn't look up all the commons and uncommons, but your set is probably worth about $500.00 plus or minus.
Strikezone's retail prices tend to be high, but the wholesale prices for the rest are low.

Yeah I'd keep it. Not sure what happened to an earlier post, but I agree with what was said. I sold off a bunch of stuff when I was a starving student and in retrospect, I didn't need to and I regret it.
So have patience with your situation. It may seem dire, but just be patient with it and yourself

I'd keep a couple rares like Enterprise and Iowa. I say that is an impressive fleet. For a while I couldn't afford or wasn't allow to buy any miniatures and there were no FLGS in my area. But now I have 1300+ pieces.

Keep them. I went through the pain of selling and recollecting. It's only going to get harder, these minis aren't becoming more common. If you want to experience the pain of what its like wanting your collection back after its gone, check out my channel.

Yeah I've been subscribed for awhile and I've been rooting for you to amass something on the scale of your former fleet! Chances are I won't sell them but it's nice to know I could part with them for a fair price.

Just to let you know my fleet as of now is currently larger than it has ever been!
