What price should I sell my babies for?

Hi,
I'm selling a bunch of my trees. A collector at work is interested in them. I've never sold a tree before and find judging their value very difficult. Most of mine I've developed. They still need work too. I'm wondering if any of you could give me a ballpark figure of what I should aim for on these trees. I don't need to get their full value or charge a high price, i think they should be reasonable considering it saves me a whole of hassle by selling to them to someone i know. But I also don't want to give away these trees for far too little. I'd love your rough guesses or ballpark ranges if you can help.
This one is a PJ Fig developing in the canopy style. Needs some wiring:
This is a Shohin Seiju Elm. Has some carving in the trunk to get rid of previous reverse taper. Developing in the broom style.
This is a PJ Fig with a grotesque and interesting trunk. Developing in canopy style but needs more branches and thickening:
This is a PJ Fig that is developing in the sloping style. Very fat trunk, branches with good shape and thickness. Leaves need to be made smaller.
This is a White Barked Ficus Retusa. Too tally and leggy at the moment but am attempting to thicken branches. Great nebari, although one front root appears to have some sunburn.
Any guesses on value would be much appreciated.
