Value of a converted team

Im looking for help to estimate the price of a converted lizardmen team, as I dont want to pay over the odds.
Its a 12 minis team, only partially painted :

so what do you think would be a fair price for this team ?

shame they weren't finished but there are some great looking conversions in there and the ones that are painted look pretty good

as for the worth it will vary from person to person, I like doing my own teams and am rather stubborn about that

considering the 12 team boxes are £30ish from GW and some good work has gone into them perhaps £40~50 is fairly reasonable though it will go down to the interpretation of how much value you put into the work already done on them

do you also think you can fill out the missing ones to complete them to a similar level, shame the pics aren't bigger

I think Grum's estimate is high for several reasons:

1) plastic minis, not metal
2) only 12 players
3) Not all players finished.

It's the combo really. There will be someone willing to offer the £40-50, but is it really worth to have a team that you need to complete yourself by adding converted players and painting at a similar level and style? Since they're plastic it is also not an attractive option to consider stripping and then painting the entire team yourself.

If the guy who did the work would finish the team (even at 12 players) I reckon it could fetch twice as much. I would really encourage the seller to do this.
