Do you sell your MOCs?

[BrickAA]

Hello everybody.
I have a profile on Rebrickable with over 70 MOCs. Mostly cars. Of course the ones that I added when I just joined Rebrickable are pretty simple, the latest ones are more advanced, but this is not important I believe. The thing is that only few of them are for sale, all other are for free. 
And sometimes I ask myself why I upload them for free. I know that some people sell every single MOC that they have. Please don't get me wrong I don't think it's bad I'm just thinking about different approaches. 
In most cases when I build a MOC, and I suppose that people would like it I think that maybe I should charge for it. But then I think that only few of people would be ready to pay but I wanna share it too much, that I think no, won't sell it. I wanna anybody to see the design in all the details if they wish. Sometimes I just think, that a MOC is just too small to charge money for that. And really often I build something to sell. Not really succeed on this field, btw. 
What do you think about this? Do you sell your MOCs?

No, I never sell MOCs. I don’t even sell parts. This is due to two main reasons. At first, my MOCs tend to be rather large and therefore, too costly for most buyers. But foremost, I have parts that LEGO made a long time ago and are hard to come by nowadays.

Yes, I am an old guy, and I had many years to collect all those parts. And now I have the pleasure of it.

My advice: don’t sell your parts if you are a typical builder. There will be a moment you will regret it.

Unless you are a seller, of course.

Totally understand. Even small MOCs might appear expensive because of usage rare part. For large ones the problem becomes much more actual just because of amount of pieces.

Good advice! I'm not a seller, so I hope I won't desire to sell my Lego.

I have sold MOC's in the past and very much like yourself all mine were vehicles and cars.

I have mostly sold them on eBay then one particular guy liked what I did so much he commissioned me to build 3 different other models for him. All were in the style of the old 6 stud wide Speed Champions line, models were

1967 Shelby Mustang 'Eleanor' GT500

Dodge Viper GTS-R

Lamborghini Murcielago

To be honest I didnt make that much money with them sourcing all the different parts needed of Bricklink from different sellers each vehicle set me back between £25 - £30 with postage I charged an extra £5 per model for my time as well, so its not something I was going to get rich quick at but I did enjoy doing it.

Thank you for sharing! 
You sold models with bricks, right? I rather meant selling instructions, but I got your point.
Yeah selling sets could take much more efforts. But it's great that you had fun! In fact you built some Lego sets and had to pay nothing for that :D
I agree, that it not the way to get rich, but of course it always nice to cover you Lego expenses a bit.
