    If you are selling your model on a market place, then yes, comparable model value is a good starting point.

    However, in this case you have been approached to sell your model, I would evaluate the price based on your time.
    How long did it take? You can guesstimate this.
    Then decide how much your time is worth.
    You are obviously a skilled artist, so don’t undervalue yourself. Find out what other skilled artists charge.

    Example: Time = 20 hours, Hourly rate = $30. Sale Price = 20hx$30 = $600
    If they want exclusivity, meaning you can’t sell the model elsewhere, bump up the price a little more, say $800.

    You can always negotiate, as this wasn’t a commissioned piece. You could negotiate an agreement for more commissioned exclusive work.

    Remember selling on a market place such as Blender Market will give you repeat sales over time, and quite possible exceed the example above.
    So don’t sell at a market place value to a single buyer, who approached you.
