Hey, Guys and especially our gracious Moderator Capt. Locknar;
This is kinda off topic but it's been a really rough week.
First, it was bad enough that my computer suffered a hardware fault a week and a half ago that may have literally destroyed the contents of my hard drive (the oldest contents that were at least 6 years old) but also important pictures that didn't exist anywhere else may be gone - including model progress shots, family pictures and a whole lot more from the last 2 years. I've got a friend working on seeing if anything can be recovered but as I write this, it doesn't look good. Yes, this means that nothing had been saved to disk or backed up - don't deny it, we've all done that - and even my plans to start cleaning up the drive and saving all those important things are shot.
More recently, I lost my best kitty buddy this Monday last. He may have suffered a stroke that caused him to lose his balance and then his ability to walk. The vet couldn't do anything for him and I had to make that choice to let him go and release him from the betrayal of his body. I only had him for 5 of his 15 years but he was happy with us and he was loved. I held him right to the last so he wouldn't die alone or with strangers...
This leads me to my question. I find I have to sell some items out my collection in order to pay the bills for the emergency vet (when I didn't know what was happening to him) and for my regular vet for the costs of the final stage in his all-too-short life, which total over $350 Cdn.
What would be a fair price for an unbuilt SFSM Stargazer/Constellation and an opened-but-unbuilt first editon Monogram Voyager?
There will very likely be other items to come, in which case I will take the continuation of this to the Trading Post so I hope that Capt. Locknar will be patient with me till then. I will look over what I have and make some decision on that in the next few days to come. In the meantime, I have no idea what the current "going" price for these are.

Thanks for any help in determing some fair pricing.
