Hey all. I have fallen on hard times financially and unfortunately need to sell my 40K pride and joy, my FW Thunderhawk. I've never sold a model so large, expensive, and well painted before so I'm looking for some advice on how to go about it and how much to ask for.
Since I'm selling it with IA:2 included, the retail "cost of model" for everything I'm selling with it is $703.65. That includes the Thunderhawk, the bomb pylons, IA:2, and the Chaos Rhino used for the base (I didn't include materials for the base or anything). Everything except the bomb pylons was built and painted by the fine folks over at Blue Table Painting. Here are some pictures of the Thunderhawk, its base, and all of its magnetized weapon options.

How much would be appropriate to ask for? I realize that it is impossible to recoup all of the funds that I put into the model and its professional build/painting service, but I would still like for the model to fetch a good amount as it is an impressive miniature, it has significance for me, and I really need as much as I can get to pay off bills.
