I'll reply to that because im serious about the offer ( not because im trying to be mean )

Your army:

1x Flying Tyrant, ( made from carnifex )
2x custom Dakka Carnifexes,
1x scratch built lictor, a converted
1xbroodlord with (made from gene stealer + warrior ext carapace )
15x genestealers,
22 spine gaunts,
18 hormogaunts,
1x converted 4th edition zoanthrope,
9x warriors.

Compared to , 3 nid battle force , MSRP total: $270 , 30% off = $189 , and here are the run downs:

9 Tyranid Warriors / equal amount
24 Hormagaunts / 6 more
3 Tyranid Carnifex / 1 more , but evens out because tyrant = same cost
24 Termagants / 2 more
24 Genestealers / 8 more ( 1gets converted into brood lord with extra warrior carapace )

Lastly, 6 hormagaunt , 2 termagaunt ,8 gene stealer , + $11
for the 1 lictor , 1 zoanthrope.

Yeah, to be perfectly frank, and not trying to be nasty, I doubt you'll get that much for it. This is a rough formula I use when deciding what an item is worth:-

Basic model is worth 50% off RRP second hand:-

Add 20% if NOS
Add 20% if well painted
Add 10% for nifty conversions
Add 20% If new codex in the last 8 months
Add 30% if pro painted( and I mean, golden demon entry level)
Add 5-40% Depending on rarity of certain models( so if it's been OOP and is a vintage component in great demand, it could add up to 40%. On the other hand, it could just be a gun, and add 5%

Add where appropriate, and that's usually what a model is worth roughly. Adding up what you have there, for the price you're asking, I don't think you'll get a buyer any time soon.

For example, if you took one of my converted Praetorian Sentinels. Basic sentinel is about £15, so the basic price is £7.50. It's well painted, so +20% gets it up to £10.50. Praetorians are rare and in great demand, so add another 30%. It's now at £15. It's converted, taking it up to £16.50. Last but not last, the guard codex was just released. As such, that rockets up to a mighty £19.50. That's roughly what I'd expect.

Hope this helps.

I respect your opinions and you are welcome to not make offers or even want it, the problem I see with your logic luna is you are GREATLY reducing the cost of Labor and converted custom miniatures. On average, the market for pieces like these sell for roughly box price, plus 15/hour for hours required to complete the model as long as it is not finished drastically over a predetermined date. Therefore, I add up what was paid for all box prices( all bout on discount)- a few dollars for being opened, then add up all hours met for required conversions, extra kit pieces thrown in, minus some hours for my own mistakes and go from there.

As I said, I am open to offers if I have acceptable reasons/arguments, this isnt a discussion panel, if you have an argument about this, move it to discussions, otherwise make an offer or ignore it...

Im not arguing ...

I made an offer , you said it was bad ,
so i give a detailed explanation of my offer.

I was been polite and thorough so you dont assume
im giving that price out of the blues.

I even went through the length of checking your dakka gallery ( needless to say ebay gallery pic is too small )

Thus my offer was sincere and serious ( always am ) i'll apologize if for any reason my actions seems mean.

Will put closeups of the regular models showing good construction if requested...

your nids look great,really like the hive tyrant,would you break it up or is it, all for all

The Tyrant or the army? I can sell it in pieces, it would just have to be negotiated....

Wow, these close-ups look great I especially love the pose on the broodlord... I had two of those models and it seemed impossible to get a unique pose to them, but you've done it! Very nice stuff

The broodlord is a heavily converted stealer, beefed up and such, with old stealer arms... If your interested, make an offer...

Not much time left!

Price has dropped, army is now going for 350 USD, free shipping in the US! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110406834706
