Both I suppose. I am not a dealer or a militaria collector - I often sell such items as they come with things I DO collect. I am just going on the result of Googling where similar MN badges seemed to attract lots of interest. However these things are often very specific - it may be that the name, date, manufacturer makes a particular badge rarer and therefore more desirable.
The shoulder titles should be common enough for you to find some similar examples by Googling - remember though that manufacturer can make a big difference so include that in your search. Likewise the buttons. Militaria collectables are a big field in Oz - though there are always lots of listings, I find myself that they usually attract buyers if they are competitively priced (try to look at ACHIEVED prices, rather than what someone hopes.) Personally I like things that can be sent large letter (with enough cardboard protection or in a stiff mailer) as cheap postage costs certainly help. A lot of these things are reproduced now, so you must make clear in any listing that your items are original. Condition is also important (particularly with enamel badges); but if you have good clear close-up photos, buyers should be able to judge for themselves. I am not an expert so I can't GRADE my items - I describe any damage and let the photos speak for themselves.
Hopefully someone more expert may come along to advise you. Should you decide to sell, good luck. I always make such listings International, as these Australian items are collected overseas, and International large letters 50g-250g can be sent flat rate anywhere in the world moderately cheaply (actual cost today $6.45.)
