Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a list of the current prices minis are fetching. Thanks!

The easiest answer is "a mini is only worth as much as you think it is." Obviously you may have to reduce/increase the price as fit (so no expecting to have a $20 Chewbacca Enraged Wookiee lol).
In all seriousness, it's difficult to find a real price. Each seller can sell their minis for a different price so it's difficult to get a really good reading. One thing a lot of people do it search eBay to see how much a mini has recently sold for.

coolstuffinc...
minismarket...
strikezoneonline...
Though I'll be a monkey lizard if anyone wants to put up $12 of stuff for a basilisk war droid.
And for $8 each I'd want my mouse droids to twirl in a circle and whistle a tune.
But that's for a different thread...

Troll and Toad is also a good reference, their pricing is normally lower the the above listed sites and seem reasonable in most cases.
As for the $7 mouse droid, I don't see many ever being traded and if so they are worth more than the standard .50 as other commons. They are used in almost every team and are rare on the trade/sell market. But it comes down to need and personal value in most cases.
So if you think that mouse droid is worth .50, I will buy all you got and sell them to Troll and Toad for $4 each (their buy price). LOL

I do like using Troll and Toad (most singles I've bought were from them, cases from Miniature Market).
One potential problem with prices listed on out of stock minis is they don't necessarily represent what they will be selling for when they become available. I mostly ignore eBay, but if there are enough recent sales of a certain mini in a consistent price range, that works for me.
As far as a $12 Basilisk War Droid, yeah that's pretty high. I'm sort of looking for one more, maybe I'd better make someone an offer before they hit $20, lol.
In the end, prices are just a convenient starting point to build an offer from. If I want something bad enough, I'd rather trade heavy, get rid of some extras and help someone with their collection than shell out more cash...

Are you kidding? Said I'm not buying...didn't say I wouldn't sell. When the economy tanked I started banking on mouse droids and Boba Fett as my retirement fund. Destroyer Droids are gonna put my kid through college.
