On average used models go for 40% off retail since they can easily be bought for 30% off brand new.

Given the paintjob I'd increase 10-20%. Sadly it appears to be a small army, so it will likely be used alongside someones army, and thus won't match as everyone paints a little differently.

My personal opinion is to build it up to a full size army and then sell it as a complete set.

thanks!


Lets have a list of what you have for sale, as the above poster said, you typically for painted models get about 30-40% less than retail. Yours are quite nicely painted however, so you may be able to get closer to retail value.

However, the issue becomes: if you have a full 2k ready force, you can probably get a bit more than retail. If you don't, you're looking at less. Most people that are willing to pay more than retail for a painted army are looking for something nice, and they aren't looking to try and paint more to match.

Edit: I learned to read! And saw your list in the linked post. Re-examining now to give a ballpark estimate.

So, after looking at your list, you're nowhere near an army I'm afraid.

You don't have the troops, you don't have transport, none of the slots are filled out. My best suggestion would be to split the items up and attempt to sell them individually, since your painting and weathering is quite nice.

I think in total income from the sale you're looking at ~200 dollars if you break it up, if you sell it as a lot, probably closer to 100-150.

In all honesty, given how much of a pittance that is compared to what you need (2k) for your car bill, I'd recommend just getting a job/finding overtime/etc or getting a small loan in the meantime (from a bank, at a good rate).
