How much do you think they are worth. Better yet, What do others think they are worth. Consideration is time, equipment, sealer, paint, finish.
Some don't consider time spent on a carving but time is money. Without a picture, hard to judge the worth of a piece. However, the worth of it to one may not be as high or low to another. Quote them a price and see if they will accept that price.

Re: Saleing a CHAINSAW CARVING

Now this is second hand gathered information, but I have read on chainsaw carving sites, that the "going" rate is $100.00 per foot. Of course, that will also be determined by how big it is in diameter and how much carving/finishing is actually done. That should be a starting point anyway.
congrats on the interest.
