Selling WWII complete armies,
« on: 17 January 2015, 03:09:23 PM »
Hi chaps,

Pondering the sale of my WWII armies to cover some upcoming bills.
Problem is the miniatures are exceptionally well painted and looking for 15 euros per figure.
I got about 400 of them......
Would anybody consider buying these or is it simply too much?

28mm british para's and german kampfgruppe (also 50 vehicles) all based and painted. Mixture of Warlord and Artizan figures.

I think it may be too much for one sale?
Maybe split into 'army' size lots?
I'm very interested, in some of your collection?
Pictures maybe?

I'd love to photos too.

Just want to point out that 400 figures at 15 Euros/figure each is 6000 EUR.

I'm not sure anyone's going to be willing to spend that much on an army no matter how nicely it's painted and how many figures they get.

So yes, you'll probably need to discount it, break it up, or both.

Hiya,

Thanks for the replies and the comments. I know 15 euros is steep and if one would buy a lot than I will try to compensate with a discount.
Most of the figs were painted by the very talented Mr. Z.
If I were to sell than I would have to sell almost everything in one go so that I wont be left with a few loose figures.

I have added some pictures to my flickr stream.

They certainly are very nicely painted, I would be tempted to put them on ebay, with the 6000 starting price, and at least see if someone bites. I have in the past bought expensive armies, with the intension of breaking them up later on and making some money. Someone may want to do that with yours. Anyway all the best and good luck.
