I'm sure they will. Still, kind of advertising. If you were just looking for an opinion you could have posted what you were looking to sell and ask our opinion on price.

I've edited my original post and taken out the links.

How long is a piece of string to be honest.

Will they sell? Probably if the need/want is there from the public.
For how much? Who knows.

What I was after is people who have sold before (I have never) and what they got.

Ah right, my apologies.

Aha, then you will want to use the eBay feature for advanced search and click the 'completed auctions' checkbox.

That will give you the most accurate data. If I was buying them, I wouldn't pay more than probably $10-20 for the Nids, maybe $20-30 on the orks and about $50 for the SM. Partially painted minis and AOBR usually have pretty low values. Granted, I'm lowballing because I would be trying to resell and that stuff has miserable resale value.

if you question was "Do people buy half broken old models on e-bay" then the answer is a resounding yes.

For the right price of course. I have gotten an old old IG army from e-bay. Mostly fixed up by several tubs of acetone and simple green along with several cans of super glue as well as new primer. Some stuff that I could not salvage was used to make destroyed vehicles as part of my terrain for bases or just as terrain.

If you were asking "would I pay retail price" the answer is a fat no since I actually have to do more work to clean models than it takes to just get fresh ones from the box to paint the way I want to anyway. stripping paint isn't that hard but it's still time consuming and results aren't always perfectly clean.

Thanks for the comments guys, i'll just see what I get, anything is better than being chucked.

That's the great thing about ebay. You'll get what the market will bear.

Probably, although I wouldn't expect them to sell for much. There's always people out there who'd like the bulk models.
