Figures value

Hello everybody's, how are you? First of all sorry for my english, it's very awful, I know. I'm an italian boy, fond of manga and anime, and I started to buy figures some years ago, so my collection is growing and actually I've about 80 items. Beacuse of the lack of space, and because of the need of money, I thought to trade some of them, but I really don't know how much could I sell them. So i try to ask to you, please help me. If you visit this page you can have a list of figures: I need to know if some of them are rare and how much could I ask for them. Thanks a lot.
Here's the list
I think it would be easier if you listed the figures you have.

or u can always google search for the price.
I think it depends on how fast you want to get rid of them. If you need to get them off your back as soon as possible, then offer a price lower than retail. Some people are willing to spend on a figure they wouldn't if they are cheaper than usual. If you know they have a good value, then you could try to get them for a higher price, although it might take you longer to sell.
Also, Suteki up there has a good advice: list the figures you have. You could also put the price you'd like to get for each of them, and state afterwards that negotiating the price is alright with you.
Thanks for your comments. Than I'll work hardly and I'll prepare a topic with all the figure I want to sell\trade. ^_^
I think doing your own research is more helpful than asking others to value your items for you :)
Look at the rarity of the figure and its popularity. Give appropriate prices by their condition (has it been displayed for quite some time? Does it come with its original box? Is the figure leaning/dusty/damaged?). Posting very high prices would definitely not help you sell in a community such as this (unless it's a really sought-out limited/rare figure) but you may have some luck in eBay ^^;
I think that you're going to be cautious with what you get cause if not, you're gonna have many more items to sell in a near future.
At the beginning I couldn't stop buying figures but now is very different cause I think first, the pre-order.
Hope you have luck, greetings!
