How much roughly would these statues be worth? They are stamped underneath, the Leonardo Collection. They are called modern bronze lady. I was given them from my aunty. She was going to throw them out when moving houses. I said I'd give it a go selling them. I've since put them up for sale on my local sales page priced at $40 for the 2 and have hundreds of people desperately wanting to buy them. Have I priced these too low? Any info on them would be so appreciated!
Thank you.

The UK version of eBay is asking twice the price you are.
Hello. Did you pull them from the local sales page?
This situation has me a bit puzzled because most of the Leonardo Collection items have very little resale value.
I am thinking there are people trying to scam you with all of these contacts. There are a lot of scammers who look for new (which they see as naive) sellers who list semi-valuable items on local market sites. One of the many scams is they do something like give you a check for $100 and ask for change--then the check bounces and you are out the cash AND the item.
I strongly suggest pulling your items from the local site and trying to get a true market value from them off of eBay.
Sadly eBay also has scammers, but you have more protections as a seller when you use the system. NEVER work outside of the eBay system...meaning if someone emails you and says to contact them by cell, DO NOT DO THAT. Only sell and correspond through eBay.
So as to value, I did a little digging and some of the bronze figures on eBay sellers are ASKING in the $300s. These are asking prices, not SOLD prices, so I am curious if they will ever fetch that much.
Most of the bronze pieces (at least on eBay) sell (SOLD) prices in the $30 range.
These are lovely art deco style pieces and when they were new they were highly collectible. Has there been a recent article or magazine spread in your area featuring Leonardo Collection bronze? I can't imagine why anyone would be willing to pay more than $20 each for these.
So again, my suggestion to you would be to pull them from your local sales page and put them on eBay.
Set them up as a 7 day auction starting at $40 each and let the market dictate the value of them.
Be sure to wrap them like you are going to ship them so you have the box size and weight to put into eBay's form (use the Advanced Seller Tool NOT the basic one.
Are you in the US? If so and you have never sold on eBay before, I suggest NOT doing international sales. If you are out of the US, I also suggest selling only to your own area to control postal costs.
