Title: Stores that buy second hand miniatures - See the Bazar Thread
Post by: Belgian on 31 December 2013, 02:44:00 PM: Hi, I'm currently looking for some stores that buy unpainted wargame miniature collections. I have found Hinds Miniatures but does anybody know of other stores preferably in europe. All help appreciated, there was also a laf thread a while ago but haven't managed to find it.

EDIT: First wave of miniatures added to the bazar http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=60829.msg741500;topicseen#new (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=60829.msg741500;topicseen#new)

Kind regards

If you get a recent issue of WI or MW you may find contacts in the classifieds, I have not bought either for quite sometime though.

And both Lesley's bits box and Wargames emporium take 2nd hand minis to shows, so might be worth an ask.

And Second City games.

Post by: Belgian on 31 December 2013, 03:33:31 PM: Thanks for all the sources, I will contact them and see. if the price is too bad I will sell them on online ;)

If somebody knows more of these stores, mainland europe is also good (well, even better) ;)

A big lot of reaper metal miniatures (warlord & dark heaven legends) and also a good lot of old GW blisters and some old boxed set such as the "ravenwing land speeder" still in the box and more. I have some stuff up in the bazar but have lots stuffed away in boxes. If I can't get a good offer from any of the contacted dealers, I will probably put them in the bazar.

Post by: The Dozing Dragon on 31 December 2013, 05:53:10 PM: You'll get better prices in the bazaar than from resellers but you do have the hassle of doing it!

You'll definitely get better money for these if selling by the piece.

Is the land speeder the old metal one? I think I have a couple of those, somewhere...

Post by: beefcake on 01 January 2014, 01:03:46 AM: I'd have to agree, you'll get more selling just here, more hassle though yep, but you cut out the middle man.
Title: Re: Stores that buy second hand miniatures
Post by: grant on 01 January 2014, 02:24:30 AM: I would say you will definitely have better luck selling here; resellers will pillage you.
