so i have a baneblade sitting around that i haven't used at all in the 6 months that i've had it , as stands constuction is fine , with the left lascannon turret being boken ( was glued in place by last fellow ) an i was wondering what you guys thought was a fair asking price ?

You should read the swap shop guidelines.

Maybe this should go to 40k General?

To the OP though, I think they Retail for $100 ish.
Is yours painted or anything? Is it clean? (no flashing, etc)
Variables to be had, either way though you can pick them up for around 70-80 NIB.
I'd say you'd be lucky to get 50$ish

For second hand stuff that has already been assembled and/or painted, start at about 40-50% off retail price and just drop the price by $5 every week or so until you get a buyer (though stop yourself if you feel like it's getting too low!).

Trade it for a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT...

Plastic and assembled? 50% off
Plastic glued? 65% off
Damaged? 5-95% off, it just depends.

Assuming your baneblade is assembled with super glue with minor damages, I wouldn't give anymore than 38.98 for it.

45% of online price which is 86.63

Assuming I actually wanted a plastic Baneblade instead of it being an ugly model that I'd be embarrassed to own:

New in box: 30% off. 20-25% off is easy to get from stores, so if you aren't saving me a meaningful amount of money I'll just buy it from the store instead of the random guy with no customer service department or reputation to protect.

Assembled but not painted: at least 75% off. A large tank like a Baneblade has to be painted in sections before assembly, so if you've assembled it already you've already ruined the model and I only want it if it's so cheap that I can't say no (and I'll probably turn it into a wreck and use it as terrain). Deduct even more to cover broken parts (like yours has) or glue puddles/mis-aligned parts/etc.

Painted: don't bother. I'm not going to pay you enough to even cover your shipping costs, since you've ruined it by assembling it AND I have to invest the extra effort to strip your paint before I can use it.


Of course I'm picky about my models, people who don't care what theirs look like might consider it being assembled a bonus and give you closer to 50% of the retail price. If you hope to get any decent money out of it, you should spend some effort trying to find the right buyer.

I see them go on EBay fully assembled for a fair amount. I mean, personally, I'm a bit more like the guy above. I'm not going to drop a lot of money on an expensive model like that, pre-owned and partially broken. But 40K is full of bargain hunters, who will still give you a fairly good chunk of the MSRP if you don't try to rape them on shipping.

Swapping - Negotiation based on perceived worth to others against perceived worth of items you want.

eBay - It'll go for whatever the buyer the wants to bid for it.

Private sale - Negotiate
