Anyone know of a site out there that has listings/photos for older Alternative Armies lines (say like early '90's)? The two I know, Stuff of Legends and Lost Minis Wiki, have little or point to the current website, which I can't find links to (presumably out-of-print) older minis.

Toon figures were published by TAG Industries, Ron, and you can find them on the Lost Minis wiki @ Toon - Lost Minis Wiki  Someone has an unsold set listed on eBay for $100 for the past several months, and I saw another set listed for $20 that didn't sell a few times, so I'm pretty sure there's not much demand for them.

Some RP minis are definitely rarer and/or valuable.  If you want to send a list of what you've got, I'd be happy to help point out the $$$ ones

I sell minis all the time, and they are usually not worth that much.  In fact, I have a bunch of minis up for sale now.  You can look at some of my listings here:

eBay listings

As you can see, I have them in smaller lots according to type, brand, scale or theme.  I usually lump characters together, monsters together, sci-fi together, etc...  I prefer to sell them by fixed price instead of by auction because I am in no hurry to sell them.  I also prefer to sell them in lots which result in packages weighing less than 13 oz, so I can ship them by First Class within the US.  The more auctions you look at, the more you'll get a feel for what they'll sell for.  Dragons, demons, kobolds, and giants sell for higher than average and players characters usually sell for less than $1.00 each.  The Ral Partha Series 11 minis can sell well.  The really valuable minis are the gold/gold-plated minis found in some gold-line Grenadier boxes.  Try to state in the auction if you believe they contain lead or not which is usually found in figures older than 1988 or around there.

If you want specific advice about what to sell something for, and you can't find something like it on eBay, you could post pictures on this thread and people will likely share their opinions.

I'm not looking to make a billion dollars off of them (hey, you the back, stop laughing!) just enough to pay packaging and shipping and mayhap a few sheckles more (to surprise the wife and pay for my Acaeum pin ) and get it to someone who'll appreciate them.
I'm betting they'll end up going, in bulk, to someone who paints. But we'll see. I'll try and get some pictures up soon!

It took me decades, but I finally painted, or had painted for me, all my minis.  Here's a thread detailing the last years of my journey:

I picked up a lot of them recently, too, Paul, and need to get some updates into the Lost Minis wiki pages.  

I'm still looking for the female TAG sphinxes if you run across any

Well, whooda thunk it. Just picked up a large lot of minis recently, and whuddya know, four of TAG's Nile folks. Specifically, Thoth, Horus, Anubis, and Set I do believe. No sphinxes, unfortunately.
