So, I've had a Space Marine army sitting completely untouched in my closet for roughly 2 years now. I have decided that I really would like to build an AdMech War Convocation, and can't justify spending money on that right now. However, if I sell these SMs off, I would have no problem using that as seed money to slowly begin my AdMech. As such, I'd like you guys' opinion on roughly how much to ask for this.

What I've got:

Dark Vengeance DA Hero w/ sword
DV Librarian
DV limited Ed. Chaplain
Jump pack Chaplain
Terminator Chaplain
Captain with sword and PP

Apothecary
SM w/ PFist/Storm Shield
SM w/ PSword/Storm Shield

5 SM Sergeants w/ various gear

5 Stergaurd w/ 1 combi-grav, 1 combi-melta, 1 heavy bolter, Sergeant w/ PSword/bolter

5 Tac. Terminators
1 Tac Termi with missile launcher
1 Tac Termi with assault cannon
2 Tac Termi Sergeants

3 DV SM bikers

3 SMs w/ Missile launcher
2 SMs w/ Heavy Bolter
2 SMs w/ Plasma cannon

3 Centurions w/ Lascannon/Missile launchers (I still have the grav cannon bits I could include too)

Stalker Tank

Techmarine w/ Thunderfire

Ironclad Dread

Dread

Drop Pod

8 Assault Marines
2 Assault Marine Sergeants, 1 w/ twin lightning claws, 1 w/ PFist/PP

25 SMs w/ Bolters
2 SMs w/ Plasma guns
1 SM w/ Flamer
1 SM w/ Melta

And that's it. I know it's kind of a schizophrenic collection, with no real focus, but I'm guessing for someone just starting or looking to build their forces it'd be a decent buy.

I'm thinking ~$200ish for the whole shebang would be a good asking price.

What do you guys think?




**Edit. Fixed some atrocious spelling errors.

Don't sell it in one go. break it up into smaller pieces you should be able to get 50'% of gw's store price for if they are unpainted or decent painted, less if they are paint blobs and more if the paint job is high above average.

I'm too lazy to look it up but calculating the price based on gw's current price should be easy.

Is it new in box? On sprue? Assembled? Painted?

New in box, or even on sprue, you can charge just a little less than MSRP. People will expect to get a little bit of a discount, or they'll be able to get it cheaper by ordering it somewhere that's offering a sale.

Assembled/painted will get you 50-60% MSRP, depending on the exact state they're in. If they're cleanly assembled and/or cleanly primered, you can get a little higher. If it's sloppily assembled, or partially painted, you might not even get 40% depending on how bad it is. If it's fully painted, it had better be painted very well, and even then while you might be able to sell it, it'll be harder to find a buyer because it won't match everyone's paint scheme.

Yeah, it's all assembled and perfectly trimmed, mold lines removed, and glued. Drop pod alone is primered, and the SM captain is a Cato Sicarius converted and painted (to above tabletop but not-quite-professional standard) Raven Guard. I can include the FW RG brass etch to sweeten the pot as well.

I guess I'll try throwin' it all on eBay. Should I break it into units or should I sell batches the way I subdivided it for the inventory I listed above (I.e. A lot of 25 bolter marines, another lot of sergeants, etc. etc.)?
