Those 4 new ones are some good sci fi/futuristic kits from back when Estes had really interesting offerings in that genre with creative decal schemes.
They offer interesting futuristic designs now (with often lackluster décor) but nothing like the late 70's/early 80's era.

I've run into one small little burb on the kit sales.

Nothing bad...I have thirteen Centuri kits to sell.

Viking #5440
Moonraker #5041
MX 774 #KA-3/5003
Black Widow #KB-6/5-36 (OK, I may want to keep that one )
Jayhawk #5171
Laser Lance # 5334 (Buck Rogers)
Earth Forces Starfighter #5335 (Buck Rogers)
Draconian Marauder #5336 (Buck Rogers)
Boeing A.L.C.M. Cruise Missile #5330
Taurus #5033
Magnum D Jayhawk #5342 (the big one)
Argus #5039
U.F.O. Invader (Super Kit) #5308

Rather than guess at the prices what do you guys think of me just putting the Centuri kits in the Ye Olde Auction site?

http://www.rocketshoppe.com/cgi-bin/auction.pl

But...if I put them on the Ye Olde Auction site I need an idea on starting price.

Any ideas?

I think the question needs to be what are you going to do with the kits that do NOT sell for the listed price?
Put them up for auction and allow the "market" to decide the price?
Or are there other plans for the unsold kits?

If you are going to auction and let the people decide how much they will pay, then just list these Centuri kits without worrying about a minimum price

Make them a TRUE AUCTION with no reserve and no minimum starting price.

You can take a quick ebay search for ended items to get an idea of selling prices. Based on the stuff you've currently selling, it looks like you might be doing that. As a person who attends a lot of auctions in person, auctioneers rarely start at zero. The auction house usually has some idea of what the item they're selling will bring and begin below that to get as many people interested as they can. If you start too high then the "magic" of the auction gets lost because people feel the item is already out of their reach. When I offer things for auction, I begin with the absolute lowest price I am willing to take and cut it in half. Then it sells for what it sells.
