This is my Carthaginian Army, based for DBM/FoG. I wonder how much is the army worth. It was painted and went directly to the cabinet due to lack of players nearby, so I want to sell it.

Minis from Corvus Belli:
16 Spearmen stands
8 stands of light infantry
16 stands of Numidian skirmishers (8 stands of them are javelinmen, 4 stands slings and other 4 stands of bowmens)
6 stands of Numidian light cavalry
4 elephants (2 of them with castle)
6 stands of cavalry, one of the stands includes the general
3 stands of bolt throwers

depends on the market, it's nicely painted, maybe 75% of retail to begin with?

(I know nothing of the 15mm historicals scene, I hope you're not offended!)

Armies of this size are on ebay at (IMO) too high prices, around 250 pounds and beyond. My first rough guess was around 210pounds/185€ though.

You can check.completed listings to see what comparable things actually sell for, rather than what people ask

I would also suggest using figure painting services as a rough guide. A quick flick through some sites suggests approximately £1.25 per infantry, £2 per cavalry and £6 per elephant, with ~50p per base. Checking the photos I think you have

~16x4 spear = £80 to £88
~8x3 Light inf = £30 to £34
~16x2 skirms = £40 to £48
~6x2 light cav = £24 to £27
~4x ele = £24
~3x4 bolts = £15 to £16.50

Giving a total for a painting service of ~£213 to ~£237.50

Allow a discount on that for wear ant tear, 2nd hand etc and you aould probably be looking around £150 for a quick sale, to £180+ depending on condition, painting quality, desirability etc. For example, are all the weapons complete, are they varnished, is the painting shaded etc.
And then you have to consider transportation - are you selling their 'box', are they magnabased, how will you ship them etc. all of which should be considered in the price

If you are considering a 'Bring and Buy', I would advise against asking more than £200 (or 200€) purely for psychological reasons etc, though you may find that they can assist in judging the quality and desirability.

Final thought is what rules are they intended for. I don't play FOG or DBMM, but if they can be fielded without rebasing, that will be a bonus - if not, then that might also affect their price.

Thanks a lot for the pricing tool. There are also 6x3 heavy cavalry stands.

I was finally able to take better photos:

The best place to sell this might be TMP (The Miniatures Page). You need to be a supporting member (a few dollars a month), but that really is one of the largest markets for ancients. Just go into it with a set idea of the price you would like and what it might cost to ship the army (at the very least know the dimensions and weight).
