I am very small time when it comes to selling built models. Hardly worth the post I am writing here. I think about the cost of the orginal model. Cost of paints, adhesives, materials and anything that goes into, on or inside the model. Finally I think about 20% of that total value is added on as "profit" so I can actually go out and rebuild another copy of the exact same model if I wanted to. Example: Model widget 50 dollars paints, materials and consumeables 25 dollars value 75 dollars + 20 % for me = $93.50 That was not so bad, if the buyer thinks he can build the same kit to the level he wants he certainly has the option of actually going to the store and buying the kit and building it himself. I dont look at the time it took to build it. Take a look at the hobby shop where they have "preassembled" models of railroad stuff. I think a built structure is about 50 dollars where a laser or plastic kit is worth about 15 dollars. Take the structure to ebay and offer it, if it is a desired model by many people who dont have the time, skill level or desire to spend a year building it will probably drive the price up. As stated above. The buyer will pay not one cent more money than what the model is worth to him or her.
