I have a few boxed ships I'm considering moving on due to space requirements and a shift in focus (to being more focused!), before I take a load of photos to construct a for sale thread, I'm after some advice on pricing and shipping; I'm not really a seller... so with that in mind I'm not exactly rushing to sell either yet, so please don't PM offers.

What is the likely selling price and slightly more concerning cost of post and pack.. and any recommendations for who to use (cheap &/vs easy) would be VERY welcome.. maybe a December FF delivery/collection option depending on the date that gets chosen of course.

As a starting point for condition, (i'll check the details of each before listing proper of course) I'll say that they're all complete but played with and all in fair to good boxes, generally though missing inserts.

Millenium Falcon - Bi-Logo - Jedi
Millenium Falcon - Palitoy - ESB
AT-AT - Palitoy ESB
AT-AT - Kenner ESB - Line art box
AT-AT - Kenner - Jedi
B-Wing - Kenner - Jedi
Y-Wing - Kenner - Jedi
Rebel Transport - Palitoy - Jedi
Imperial Shuttle - Kenner - Jedi - Line art box
Death Star - Kenner (Pop removed)
Ewok Village - unplayed with contents - line art box

Quite a few more to list, but as I say, I'm reluctant to sell any yet, so just getting the feelers out...
Cheers
Steve

Thanks, totally understand the difficulty without photos, but your ball park prices are just what I wanted... Some are more motivating than others I guess!

Anything over about Y-Wing/X-Wing size will be into RM medium parcel range which starts at £6 ish for second signed for, probably won't have a problem but is only covered up to £50 insurance wise.

Also once you break the 2KG limit which the AT-AT and Falcon do once boxed and packed you start to get to about £13 for postage but are covered for the value you choose insurance wise.

Collect Plus for the same sized box is around £7 insured to around £100 from memory.

Simon shipped a boxed Falcon, boxed Y-Wing and Snowspeeder to me via My Hermes in one box for around £12 if memory serves.

I'll keep an eye out for any sales thread :D

Thank you!
RM is my easiest option, might not be the cheapest, but one I think I can deal with at least... All good food for thought. I better start looking for packing boxes next!
