Hey y’all. New on the site. Still I’ve been a Lego collector for most of my life.
I recently catalogued all my Star Wars sets, they were stored well, fully complete
and in near perfect condition. I reached out to someone that was known to buy
and sell legos in my area, but I felt that his offer was a bit low. What do y’all
think the value of this list is, lowball offer or otherwise. I’d appreciate some
feedback!

the best way to check is to search up each of those sets and check what the average
complete value sold is for all combined

Agreed. And sell them here.. you’ll get better prices for them than some random
stranger off Craigslist.

Generally when you sell to a store or someone who deals in buying and selling
sets, they're going to offer you about 50% of the current market value so
that they can make a profit. AT least that's how the two brick and mortars
near me operate. Same with when you buy a new car, you'll do better selling
your old car privately than you would if you took the dealership's trade
in offer.
Now, before you go tripping over your tongue and get blinded by dollar signs
sit back and digest what the numbers are telling you. There are only three
established sales on record and there are 4 used sets currently for sale - and
one new set. you can click on the green (or red) square to see the listing info
for the ones for sale, but not for the ones that have sold. So that $850 sale
might not have had any minifigs or could have been missing parts. We don't
know for the other two that sold for 2400 and 2900. They could have been in
near perfect condition for all we know.
Sites like BrickEconomy are useful for new sets but the small section on the
bottom right for used sets doesn't show you as many data points. Just a
value. It's a quasi grey area posting a link to that site since it has links
to buy the set so you'll have to go have a look for yourself.
So if only 3 have sold this year, you have to ask yourself "am I in a hurry
to sell these? Do I need the money now or will I be okay listing these for maybe
a few years?" If the former, then list them on the lower end near the lowest
priced set and adjust for condition. IF you're not in a hurry shoot for
the average list price and then go on your merry way for the next year or two.
If you want to go that route, then you'll need to set up a seller account
and to do that you need at least one positive feedback. So buy something inexpensive
from a store, get your feedback and then initiate the process of setting up a
seller account.
Good luck! The three sets I left from your original list I recognized the set
numbers. You should do pretty well on those.

As an example I have made the first entry clickable. Reply to see how this is
done. You can do this for all of those sets if you want, it's up to you.

Also check the box "exclude incomplete" to get a better idea of the value
if your sets are really 100% complete.
This way you correct the value, which is otherwise distorted from sets without
figures or missing parts.
If you sell them. Pack very nicely, and ship the boxes (if still there) in a
bigger box. If you have new unused garbage bags or similar, wrap the boxes in
them,
in case a parcel gets water damaged. Use fillers to not damage the lego boxes
in the parcel.
And never make the newbie mistake to ship (in) and put the shipping label on
the original
LEGO box. Then you´ll have wrecked it.
