PhoenixEnvy Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 So, I finally came to a decision I've been putting off.. as much as I loved the modeling aspect of my Ramos crew and the fancy box I made for them to live in, I just don't like the way they play. The obvious solution is to let them travel on to another, more loving home. I wonder, though, if they would have more value to someone unpainted or painted? For me, I never buy painted minis unless it's to strip, but I know some people are into just the gaming and want a nicely painted army. Is the crowd about split on this, or is one way clearly better than another in terms of sales value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gru6y Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 It all depends on the quality of your painting. If you can manage a very good TT standard (semi display), then paint the suckers as they will surely go for more $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixEnvy Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I can definitely hit that mark, especially if I put some effort into it.. I suppose now I just need to decide on colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanor Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Myself I enjoy the painting part of the hobby as much as I do the playing part. But if I were going to buy 'used' mini's I'd be just as likely to buy a nicely painted set as I was a unpainted set. I'd also expect the cost to be based on the quality of the painting.

Headcase2 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I love painting, but time's an issue. So I focus on getting two crews painted up myself, with as many options as possible, and then I just buy well painted crews whenever I can get my hands on them. That way I get to play with pretty crews and still have more variation. Somewhat expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
