Stores that buy second hand miniatures - See the Bazar Thread
« 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

Kind regards

Thanks I have send him an email earlier today but he seems to focus on historical miniatures should have said I'm looking to sell metal fantasy miniatures.

There was a chap called Palmer or Palmier from Wolverhampton way who used to advertise in WI, pretty sure he ran a bricks and mortar store at one time too.  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.

Rob Palmier, he doesn't pay masses but, like Music Magpie, he will take the lot.

The Troll trader will take some:

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.

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.
