You could possibly get a good idea of the collector price being currently charged by visiting the Oldmodelkits.com website and checking what they charge:

Holy Moley! That is quite a collection! You even got the Grumman Duck! Nice! Are they all 1/72 scale?

Yes they are. All but just a couple. I think I'll never get through all of these models!

Wow. I'm blown away! I went through this website today and was able to find 65 of the 78 kits I have, and the value of them totaled $1, 086! Unbelievable!

If you are using this site to determine a models value - don't.  They are extremely extremely high priced.  I have been buying / selling kits for over 25 years, and few of the kits you have listed above would sell for more than a few dollars.

Got my eye on a couple of cool unusual Luftwaffe aircrafts in your stash. LOL! It's nice to see the box covers though. I had to laugh when I saw a few still had price tags still on them. $.80 and $1.99 wow!! Talk about old kits in your stash. Be glad you have them and build a few in his honor. It'll be well worth it.
