My wife and I are buying a house and she wants us to sell our indulgences.  So I
am selling my Lego collection, and I was wondering how much interest there is in
the Lego community to buy MOC of the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter.
Here are some pictures:

So please tell me if you think it would sell well on Ebay and what a fair price
for it would be.

I have a few other MOCs that someone might be interested in:

Do you think I should try to sell these as well?  Any comments you have would be
appreciated greatly.
Thanks,
Ryan

(...) I think you should break down your collection back into the original sets or collections of parts or some other form of lots. I buy alot of LEGO on Ebay but I'm never searching for MOCs, it's either parts, or star wars sets or parts from star (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
  Re: Selling my MOC Gunstar (maybe)
 
If you REALLY need to sell your LEGOS, either sell them on Ebay, Bricklink or AuctionBrick. I'd sell them as one collection, and see if someone local to you wants to buy them so you don't have to ship them. 1) You'll make the most money off of it 2) (...)

(...) I know what it's like to need money and have to sell your MOCs. I understand how that can hurt. But what you're doing right now is wrong. You are not respecting Mark and you are not respecting the community. The Gunstar is not your MOC to (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, FTX)
  Re: Selling my MOC Gunstar (maybe)
 
(...) When we look at the amount of money involved in purchasing a house I just don't see how selling the Gunstar is going to get you closer to the money you need. I would have to agree with the others and suggest that, if you have that many Legos (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hiya, I can speak with hindsight so please bear with me here. I sold off a collection of over 300,000 parts last year. I won't try to discourage you from selling your collection if that is what you really WANT to do. I would recommend against (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Are you crazy or just stupid (I don't mean that as a diss)? Don't sell your LEGO models/pieces/etc. That's not right. It's just...wrong. Your LEGO pieces have probably been accumulated over years worth of time and money. If you sell them, (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) I just felt I should step into this, a few issues have been raised (...) I'm afraid I have to disagree, It is not wrong. it may not be nice, desirable or even good.

  Re: Selling my MOC Gunstar (maybe)
 
There has been a lot of talk about the legality and morality of selling your inspired MOCs, but I' going to stray from that for a second and toss my opinion into the ix. Okay, here it goes. They way I see it building with lego is a skill that needs (...) (21 years ago, 13-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
