Hey guys,

Dunno which forum to put this in, so sorry if it's a bit random.

But I'm about to put my 2k Ultramarines on eBay, but I was wondering how best to go about it, and what sort of price I should put it up for.


I've selling;

Chapter Master + 10 Honour guard.
3 Tactical squads
Thunderfire cannon.
Predator with las.
Land Raider with las.
2x Stormtalons
A small carry case with the foam cut out so they all fit.

Should I go for buy it now, or auction? Any reserves? How much can I expect it to go for? They are all quite nicely painted to a very good tabletop standard. I get compliments every time I play them.

Are they changeable? Do you have the spare parts/weapon options?
I don't think I've ever seen them listed, but might make a difference to someone like me who would want the choice.

No, they don't have any swappable bits.

Chapter Master has storm shield and power weapon.
Tactical squad: 3 plasma guns, 2 plasma cannons and a heavy bolter.
Lascannon heavy predator and Land Raider.
Storm Talons the Typhoon launchers.

No biggie. No-one but me is likely to even ask.

But, as linked, post it here first and see what people have posted before.

Generally assembled and painted warhammer goes for about 50% of retail. It can be less depending on if pieces are missing, models are old (but not old enough to be rare/collectors), models are caked in heavy paint job.

You will have an easier time selling the models if they are not painted or only primed. Sometimes people think that a paint job adds value.... but this is only the case if you are extremely talented.

Thanks guys.

I have no illusions that these will be regarded as high value collectables.

I'm collecting a new army, and scrapping the old one for space/money.

So using the 1/2 retail rule: Is £150+ not an unreasonable expectation?

They are all new plastic in good condition with a light-ish paint job.

I'll post it on the forum once I've got the eBay set up. Thanks guys.

Are you open to trades?

Is no one else surprised that someone actually plays Ultramarines?

(just kidding!)
