So I was looking at selling my Shinkis, but have no idea of what the prices can be for them. Is ebay a good place to look at to get an estimate of the value?

Mine are rather older models, and some ebay prices are through the roof, so I'm wondering if that's half accurate. For example Arnval Tranche 2 and Strarf Bis are quite expensive on ebay, but no recent sold item to see if the price is too high or if they really sell at that price.

Generally, most of the expensive Ebay items don't end up selling... It's people riding the hype of the show..

Maybe it would help if you mentioned which shinkis you have?

Those I have;

Arnval Tranche 2
Strarf Bis
Xiphos
Werkstra
Waffe Dolphin x2 + 1 naked black body

look at Mandarake

Arnval Tranche 2
$75-120
Strarf Bis
$90-110
Xiphos
$30
Werkstra
$50-80
Waffe Dolphin
$30
naked black body
$40

And what would be Mandaraka?

Mandrake is a site that sells figures. They sell used items as well and know the current market trend.

technically everything they sell is 'used', they're a secondhand shop, though a lot of the items they get are still sealed.

So I believe this is the place?

I have to look at the "sold out" list to see the Shinki I have, but that can be of uses.

Thanks guys

Use that. And search in Japanese, as english listings are uncommon.

Mandarake's the general 'go to' place for shinki cost estimates. Most of us tend to use it as the guideline for general value.
You can also try Yahoo Japan Auctions for an alternative.

Ebay and Amazon are the last places I'd use as a guideline. They tend to make prices up to an extreme.
