If these questions have been answered elsewhere I apologize, but my googlefu is weak tonight.

I've decided to sell off my old necrons to finance my recent ebay shopping spree. Pulling them out, I realize why I haven't used them in forever, they're in various states of disrepair, a couple broken guns, most aren't based and though mostly painted, only to a mediocre table standard.

These are all things I can fix, but I'm wondering if it's really worth the time and effort to fix them up since I'm just going to sell them. What's the best level of finishing to hit the sweet spot between time spent and money made?

With the Wraiths, Deathbringer, and Heavy destroyers the weapons/arms are likely to fall off in transit anyway so should I even bother reassembling them just to sell and ship them?

If anyone could offer some advice or point me toward the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

The best plan imo would be to just strip the models before selling them. Spending time repainting/rebuilding is not an investment you wil recoup.

Agreed. I would rather buy stripped models then painted.

I agree,

Strip them of paint and sell them as is.

Better the buyer knows that the model is broken beforehand, than that they receive the models and get PO'ed at the quality of your repair job.

Not that I’m implying that your repair job would be anything short of spectacular, but some people...

Stripped? Sounds like a plan, also probably the easiest option.

Except maybe the monolith... I don't think it will fit in my mason jar...

Thanks for the suggestions.

Just get a bigger container to strip the monolith. Maybe sell them in chunks rather than a full force as well, may be able to squeeze a few extra dollars out of it that way. Then again just selling the Monolith separate to it might be the better way to go, keeping the troops together.
