i am thinking about sellign my Crimson Fists army. but i have never sodl any mnis before so have no idea what to charge.

I've posted below a couple of sample pics of the army. any advice or comments woudl be much appreciated!

Post up everything you have.. and basically, looking at the great standard you've got on the minis already shown.. much more than you bought them for.. so.. maybe about +£5 on each model? AT LEAST!

Really? wow! I've only just started taking decent pics and need a stand to take pics of 10 man squads.

But should hopefully have all the pics in the next week or so. I'll definately post them all on here when i'm done.

Shoudl also point out that the sponsons on the Pred are magnetised so i'd be selling the painted H.Bolters with it as well.

You've just made my day!

Pred is what now, something like £27-£30 NIB.. plus converted bits worth about £1-£2.. plus what I'd say for a commission, at least a £5 and maybe a £10 (or more?) paint. All in all, you could probably get about £40-£45 for the predator.. but I might suggest selling in bundles on ebay - possibly the entire army, or more likely to sell is bundles of one or two units.

And believe me, these Fists will sell on ebay. Hell I might buy some!

I've just started selling stuff on ebay this past month and haven't done that badly (considering I've undercosted a lot of things).

You've taken some good pictures which will stand you in good stead. My advice is to upload them to photbucket and then put direct links to each pic as this will save you some money on the actual listing itself. When it comes to the description be as honest as possible and list exactly what parts have gone into the minis (if you've used the bits packs/forgeworld parts/are the models varnished etc). I'd advise againt putting Pro-Painted and stick with something like - Painted to a Good Gaming standard.

When it comes to packaging it may be worth investing in some void-fill and bubble wrap is essential. If you have an Army case for them this is good too.

You might consider painting the edges of the bases a solid colour, Chaos Black or Calthan Brown, to tidy them up a bit, but that's up to you.

I see armies on sale a lot and many simply don't sell because of their condition or beacause they are put on auction for a ridiculous opening price. I don't think you'll have that problem. I think it's worth sticking by your guns and charging what the army's worth (-20% as this is the standard discount retailer price) and then charging +/- £2 per Infantry Model, £5 a Character and £10 a Tank and see what total you get. It's 2,500 points so I'd say around about the 350-400 mark? You might also want to consider how long you have had the minis. If you've had them for 2 years or more then they may not owe you as much as if you bought them all six months ago - it's worth being realistic about these things.

If you're worried it still might not sell when you see the total then I'd advise putting a Best Offer on it, if for nothing else than to see what some people are willing to pay. If you auction it I suggest starting at a stupid sum, like £50, and then putting a reserve on of what you want for it, again just to see what people are willing to pay. Ideally you'd like a profit, but if you can sell it for the total you spent on it I don't think this is a bad thing either.

It may also be worth posting it up for sale here and on other forums (like Bolter & Chainsword) to maximise exposure. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

This thread really belongs in Dakka Discussions or 40k General Discussion. In general, only items that are actually up for sale or trade (rather than discussing how or how much to ask for) are appropriate for the Swap Shop.

I've asked for this thread to be moved, and you may want to edit your title (to whatever you like) when it has been

Fair enough mod. I posted it here as i thought this woudl be the best p[lace for advice on selling, feel free to move it.

Thanks for the response guys. Ii've got to tweak the pics to tidy them up a bit and will most likely put them up for sale in the next couple of weeks.
