What would be a fair price for Alex?
10 years ago
Right now I'm trying to raise money to make an additional donation to the Indivisible Crowdfunding campaign, which is in it's last week and is still a bit short of it's funding goal. Alas, the only thing I have of value that I could really sell this week is an under-used character of mine, Alex.

Alex is a socially shy bookworm who loves fantasy novels and the idea of adventure. It's not uncommon for her to get lost in fantasy and to start playing out sword fights and whatnot with a ruler or anything else on hand, only to freeze with embarrassment when she realizes what she's doing in front of other people. This remains a fantasy until one day a race of magical darkness aligned space dragons returns to earth, have last visited roughly around the same time when the Roman empire was in power. These dragons follow a giant organic asteroid that spawns them, and travels from planet to planet, stripping it of it's innate magic, (which typically has the side effect of ending off life on said planets.)
Alex, being a direct descendent of one of the Zodiac Knights, one of many warriors magically augmented to combat Void Dragons, gains the ability to transform when she finds herself in the middle of a Void Dragon attack. Upon transforming into Alexandra the Great, Alex gets taller, more athletic, curvier, and loses most if not all social inhibitions. She also gains natural talent with a Gladius and Shield, and access to a tremendous amount of magic.
After fighting off her first Void Dragon, she vows to find out more about the history of the Zodiac Knights, find other descendents, and do all she can to protect the world from the passing Void Dragons. So basically, she's a Roman themed magical girl, and her transformation is more then just getting pretty clothes.
Anyhow, if I were to sell this character, people would get the character, posting rights to all the artwork I've commissioned, rights to the setting, and the right to pick my brain about how to further flesh things out. Also it's worth noting that I wouldn't normally do this, but I just don't have the resources to do this character justice, and as such have never been able to expand upon this setting as I would like. I would like to hand her off to somebody with more resources, and who really likes the character and concept.
Now, I still need to contact as many of these artists as I can to make certain they're okay with me transferring the rights to this character. However before I go any further I need to ask people here what they think would be fair for all this. I'm planning to sell this via auction, so all I'm wondering is what would be a fair starting price. Seeing as I cannot count on there being a bidding war, that starting price would need to be at least somewhat worth my while to justify losing the rights to a character I rather adore.
Anyhow, prompt responses would be great. Seeing as there's only a few days left in this Crowdfunding campaign, I can't afford to take my time with this. <_<;;

If we break it down to its barest components you are selling 8 pictures, if we charged it at a minimum going price now days, probably around $10 each for sketches and $15 for the coloured images it would probably be a $90 starting price, I would personally start around $50 though and let people bid on her to find a comfortable end price for both you and the eventual buyer.
Anyhow, 50usd for a starting point seems about right, but I'm starting to think I may not have enough time before the Indivisible Crowd funding campaign ends to really get the full value from this character. I mean, assuming I write each of the artists tonight and I hear back from each within 48 hours, I'd have maybe two days to finish up the auction before the campaign ends.
That wouldn't matter if I had thousands of followers mind you, but with relatively few people looking up my submissions, it'd probably take awhile for the auction to reach at least 90usd.
Which isn't too say that I won't end up selling Alex. It's a shame for her to sit unused in my gallery. If I do though, I should take my time and do it right.
