If I were to sell my stuff I'd have a very happy girl, a vacation to Vegas and all of the sudden, a very, very empty room.

If I sold all of my stuff... I'd probably just spend it on tattoos.

Much of it is older figures from 1st-3rd ed WHFB, so one has to assume people would want mismatched inferior sculpts from Citadel/GW's early years. Initially, I'd put the money into an automatic investment program, but I'd probably withdraw part of it for either a big terrain project for Malifaux (which is what I'm currently playing), or more Malifaux figures. Probably more figures, been looking at the Viktorias and von Schill's Freikorps after I finish Ramos and his clockwork automatons. As it is, to get all the figures I'd want for both crews would cost $107 straight retail, so there might still be money left for homemade terrain tiles.

I've sold or traded most of my GW collection over the past year. I still have several bitz boxes, some Grey Knights, and some Eldar, including the Avatar that was my first purchase going on 15 years ago now. The trades were for more WM. I've never fully quit 40k before. I've always kept at least one army, even if it was only partially assembled. This time I'm done I think. I'll probably keep the Avatar, because it's very nicely painted (by a friend a long time ago), but the rest will slowly go to Swap Shop or eBay.

Thats a win, win and also a win!

Can I go with Malifaux stuff?

Anything o_o

I would expand my collection of real weapons.

Best Answer. Period.

The first thing I would do is pre-order Skyrim. After that... it sits in the bank until its time to pay for school again.

A Mars bar. My collection is broken, badly converted and poorly painted to the extent that that would be a fair price for it.

You win /thread =o]



I did that, I sold a rather large SoB army after I saw the dire condition of the WD dex. I haven't liked the way the company has been going for a long time so I decided to pull out while I still could.


I have since moved on to modern historicals (Ambush Alley Games) great system, great rules, awsome models from a varity of companys that actually help eachother and want a strong community of gamers.


To each there own though, the only thing I really miss from GW is the Ad-Mech and I have to scratch build that stuff anyways.

I've actully given a lot of thought into selling my collection down to just GK and Skaven.
If I did sell my GW it'd be for that shiney custom job I've always wanted on my Colt 1911. The rest would be on tats, and fixing up my 78 Cobra.

Or a down payment on that sweet new Camaro ZL1.

I've actually sold all my stuff already i spent it on beer bills and my former gf. The problem is the quitting i sold it all and said thats it but its very much like an addiction. Im already starting a new WoC army albiet slowly with stuff i want not buy it all and do an army fron that lol

I have spent the last couple of years selling all my GW stuff. I was getting very tired of the whole GW "Scene"

The first wave- all the extra armies- went to pay bills. I was in a bad way. It was at that time i realized that I would not self destruct if I got rid of stuff. That was about 2 years ago.

These last few years I have sold off various remaining 40K armies as well as most of my specialist stuff. All I have left is my first army, SW which I have been playing since 3rd, and my first BFG fleet. those are looking more and more likely to go.

I am lucky that a FLGS has an auction every 6 months or so. They sell it and you get store credit. After 3 of these, number 4 is happening now, I wave gotten into Malifaus heavy, and many smaller HIstorical games, Force on Force and GHQ being the biggies. This time around I am going back to my first love- boardgaming. not the FFG brand, the games in the old(real) Avalon Hill variety. Lock and Load games and GMT mainly. Also doing some playing with Federation Commander.

I don't think I could ever give up on gaming. Been at it since 1976 so it is a large part of how I relax. Although Hookers and Blow might work

Say everything went well, you fetched a fair price etc etc.

What will you spend on instead?

In our current circle, I'm handling the selling of one guys lot of stuff, and paring down my own alot. Monies are going towards warmhordes and stuff for the kids.

Sold all my remaining 40k stuff for drugs, new paints and PP minis.

Wife is super happy with all the extra space Ò_Ò;;

Got rid of the majority of my 40k stuff...and now I have empty shelf space for other stuff.

If I sold all my warhammer stuff, I could probably get a celebrity love doll. They're only about $9000 right now, and they come in Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, or Miley Cyrus flavor. It's amazing what you find at 3am when you're bored and your brain is no longer working correctly.

A minor South American country.

TDA and storm bolter?



I will only sell them once I become a space marine

I would have a hiatus of perhaps a decade, then be pulled back into miniatures wargaming by Warmachine. Er. No. That was a decade ago

I would probably waste it on weed.

Wargaming was instrumental to me gaining control of my habits I can honestly say that I would not be in a good postion if not for wargaming it provided me with a way to occupy myself and now I hang with nerds who are by far the most gentle and enjoyable class of person on the planet.

I just can't envisage ever doing it. I sold some bits to someone once but I had to think long and hard about that in case I ever needed them for some unimagined project.

I guess I'm just lucky not to be in the position where I have to.

Really??? Gentle and enjoyable??? I guess you have never been in the middle of a nerd fight between waring partys deciding for the good of all man who is hoter Gillian Anderson in early X-Files or 7 of 9 from Voyager...wow I tell you those nerds can get rather mean and testy


edit and you can never 'waste' money on weed...it's always a good choice...although drugs are illiegal and I do not condone or suggest people pruchace them.

A Lamborghini.

I would buy an X-Box 360 and some games and spend the rest on booze, because when you're drunk, you're not sure if you're winning or losing and it really doesn't matter!!! .

A H&K USP .45, a box of mags, and ammo. After that, beer and rent.

Im planning to sell of my army but i am not getting out of WH, just out of GW Minis. Any army can be made with any models (its part of the hobby), but i am feed up with constant price hikes and now this embargo thing. So i am lookin forward to either re doing my empire army once Mantic releases their humans or turning undead or dwarft if i dont like them.

I like the Guitar guys dream the best!

If I sold out of gaming forever, I would get my house remodeled! I want steel bannister railings in a modern style, hard tile floors and my 2 story indoor chimney stack re masoned!

That'd be great!
