Well, it seems like more than one person has asked you for a price. I know you said you want to see what you can get (first rule of negotiating and all that). We typically resist buying from unknowns here, and as pointed out to you already, it is considered bad form for folks to show up on a board and start using it for their own personal ebay. The Marketplace forum is typically for established merchants and known members, The guys here have shown a lot more patience with you than to most because they are assuming you are retired military (which we all respect.)

But let me push the issue here and ask specifically that you post a price. You have to have a feeling of what you want out if the stuff, so put it out there and see where it goes. Either you'll get what you want or not.
