    I don't know about the value, but don't expect too much. They are not old, and not top quality.
    This is better quality:

    Do you think $300 is reasonable

    No, that’s a pipe dream. Look on Eboo for “sold” prices for similar items, if you can find any that sold. Starting prices are meaningless.

    Agree.
    I would be very happy if I could sell one of these for 10 euros.
    I can't see any numbers. If there are, they wouldn't be museum numbers, because these would never have been part of a museum collection or even a private collection. They were bought by people who knew nothing about Makonde art, but had a nice holiday in Tanzania.
