It usually seems closer to almost none from what I've observed over the years. With that skin and the 1-off mods, I'd guess a reserve around 40kish would be a good place to start. I haven't any idea how to guess buyout ahead of time. It wouldn't surprise me to see a bid war start on this, but I'm not sure I'd wager cash money ahead of time that one would for sure.
The market does not seem to consider that skin particularly rare or desirable from what I've seen, so I'm guessing the value here is in the mods instead of the skin, too. I'd guess 10-20k reserve with a buyout maybe 40-50k.
Both because I'm not sure how to PC "fair market value" on a shield with those mods and to avoid conflict of interest issues, I'm not even going to post a guess on that. I currently have a shield with the same mods in a different skin that I'm selling for a friend. I picked a reserve that was more than it was worth to me, figuring I'd simply buy it from the friend if no one was interested in offering more. Two different players have already bid more than I was willing to pay for it, though. Mine is a Stone Summit Shield with higher tactics req. I'm not at all sure if the demand/interest has enough more to do with the skin instead of the mods to say how it might compare to yours here. Anyway, c/o on mine is up to 35k with a little less than a week, max, to go before high bid wins. It feels so crummy to leave a link to my sell thread in a reply to someone else's PC thread - I just can't do it, I'm sorry. If you have no better info to go by, you can click the "find threads by" thing on my profile to see my thread and check the bids. I always leave final sale prices in a history section on sell threads, so you'll be able to find such even if you look after it's been sold.
I would advise caution about assuming that the skin on yours, Round Shield, is crap no one likes. Yes, they're pretty common. But I've met far too many players who claim to really dig that skin over the years to think it's prudent to list these in the "no demand at all" category of shield skins. And, honestly, any inherent shield with dual maxed mods is something of a rarity in itself. Not necessarily the kind of rarity people will pay much for, but still I advise against assuming this one you have here is too commonplace to be worth the trouble trying to sell.
Inherent Magmas Shields seem quite popular now, so I doubt this one is insta-merchfood. With both mods non-max and the higher req, I wouldn't guess this one gets bids much past the 50k area in a bid war. I'd not think it wise to start with a reserve nearly that high, though. Hopefully you get input from folks with more Magmas experience than I have.
Big difference between versions of skin, metal or twin serpent. If metal, it's worth a lot less and could be hard to find interested buyers at all. I'd honestly not recommend holding out hope for past 25k (if even that much,) as neither the metal skin Jeweled Staff nor Illusion gear seem especially popular these days. If it's the twin serpent version you're still up against the low popularity of Illusion gear, but I can see it going up closer to the 50-70k range. I
really hope you get other opinions or find recent actual sales of similar ones - I'm taking a shaky guess on that number and may be quoting far too low a number.
If memory serves, I've seen r9 versions of that sell in the 10-20k range easily enough. I bought an r9 version not too long ago along with another "mixed 20/20" staff for a 25k package price. r13 will scare a lot of buyers off these days, but I'd still recommend giving this one a shot before merching. Maybe 10k buyout and reserve of whatever strikes you as high enough to be worth bothering at all. Nice looking skin, though - It's the sort of thing I'd try to find a home. And DF/Smite mix seems far from useless - my RoJ heroes use them sometimes without complaining at all!
Ok, so from the icon we can see it's the Canthan/metal skin version. IIRC, r9 20/20 versions of these are in the 50-60e range lately, and I've heard a guideline that 1-off versions can be roughly PCed as 10% value of the max version. So maybe aim for buyout in the 5-6e area? 20/19 can be quite hard to find interested buyers for at all, so set your reserve based on how much effort you're willing to spend selling it for "top dollar."
Here's hoping you get more opinions ... especially if they're ones that differ from mine (since I freely admit that I could be wrong!)
Cheers, GL, and Coocoo!
