Your best bet might be to frankly ask the person what they think is a fair value, for both of you.
Seems to me, just an opinion, that your angel is about 3/4 completed.
The arms are too long.
The face has more of a gargoyle appearance than an angel.
The wings could use a slight bit enhancement of appropriate structure .
Once you enhance the design, you would be able to offer the diagram on OUSA file downloads, for whatever price that you believe the market will bear.
Certainly a noble 1st attempt.
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .

Try to make a stand out of wood for it and varnish it so it doesn't fade in time, then you'll have more chanches of selling it.

I agree 150%! It will enhance the looks of the model SO much and make it look like a true piece of art.
I'm actually doing spray paint art (google it. it's kinda neat actually) and I make my paintings on poster-board. I sold one of them last week, and put it in a cheap cardboard frame thing and got 15 dollars for it. Pretty good considering it took me 3 minutes to make it... So I agree with you! It really helps selling the model or whatever it is if it looks finished!
I would rather fail trying than fail without trying....

You're welcome. I hope you can sell your angel for a good price, as most origami models are underrated.
