Sell?

Recommended Posts

I've got a crap load of miniatures that I don't think that I'll ever get painted up and I'm starting to think that I should maybe thin the ranks a little bit, clear out some of the lead that I haven't an interest in, or simply liquify and turn into some cash in order to fund a couple of ventures of mine.

What do ya'll think is the best way to go about doing this? Ebay, offer up for individual sellers, just throw it out and see if anyone wants them? Some of the things I'm thinking of selling are my WotC Black Dragons, Elmore Giants, bunch of Reaper and I-Kore stuff .. etc.

Thoughts?

The friendly, community way is to just offer it up to this gang and others you might know.

The hard $$ way is eBay, because some folks will drop stupid money on things you are offering up.

If the money really isn't the drive, just do friendly, but you'll kick yourself later seeing what you could have gotten.

I've gotten into a bit of a mess myself, and will be selling a great deal of my goodies to catch up. Hope I make it... :argh:

Erm, no - not giving them all away. Besides, this IS my own competition, they didn't come looking for me, it was the other way around.

:D

Got a few things going on around here these days that are sucking up cash pretty heavily - nothing that's going to kill me at the moment, but if I can offset that, I certainly will.

DON'T DO IT! The only amount of minis to have is Not Enough. Once you've painted up that last mini that's it, games over, end of the road, Big Casino. As long as you have minis in backlog you'll be fine. I keep enough yet to do to last me long enough to bankrupt Social Security.

My buddy Skip took a good number of years to finish up a rather large 18th Century collection. Shortly after he'd finished his last mini, he bought the farm.

Paint & be well.

Heh, I've got a tone of that I-Kore stuff if you want it Jim.

As for miniatures, to be honest it has to be a pretty special one for me to want one these days. Just no time and no space.

Nice image BTW.

:D

You know, I am jealous that you have achieved that higher state of mind.

I am still buying things that I know I will never use. Or never glue. Or never take out of the blister.

I need to sell my stuff. I got several thousands of WHFB stuff that is not getting updated since the VC Army Book (the previous one).

But then... I am to lazy to go through the attic, take pictures and ebay.

Thanks Nathan,

thanks for the quick reply, I've recently stumbled over the Void figures, been out of the miniature/gaming fold for a while, and liked the look - then found that the company had gone out of business a few years ago. I understand scotiagrendel are producing the figures still but it doesn't hurt to search out a bargain!

Cheers,

Dean
