Hello I found some boxes at an LGS and I was able to purchase the following items new sealed in the original packaging.

Does anyone have any idea the potential value of these since they are long since OOP but also hard to find something like this in great condition new in the shrink-wrap still.

So did you basically grab these to flip them at maximum profit?

Nothing illegal about purchasing to resell, and nothing amoral if the item is not being touted on release.

There is no potential value that can be given for these items. Collectables go for the price people will pay, and that is an individual matter not a market matter.

Shrink wrap helps, but with collectables in good condition it is not uncommon for an item to be cleaned and rewrapped.
How dusty was the shrink -wrap?
Take photos before and after cleaning that off, it helps authenticate.

The shrink wrap had a lot of dust on the side the front/back didn't have much since they were surrounding by other products.
The shrink wrap still have the Made in UK Batch No sticker on it, so I personal know this is a legitimate product sic E the store had a ton of products much older like action figures with yellowing plastic etc.

a quick peek at ebay shows those selling for between 70-100 bucks when sealed, so they're a nice little find if you paid original MSRP, which I imagine was $40-50.

Looks legit then.

I scored a large number of rare Zvezda boxsets on ebay France that had evidently been on the shelves of an indie game shop on the outskirts of Paris for a very long time, imported as much dust as boxset..
These are for use though.

In general I'd say head over to ebay and search the completed/sold listings to see how much those go for as that will give you the best idea what kind of price things get. Searching for active listings is a bit misleading as there's more than a few stores that list things at insane rates way above what people would spend. They mostly rely on desperation/ignorance but those listings can be up for years.

Sometimes old sets can have popular models that aren't sold - eg the Island of Blood set is popular because of the new Skaven models which never got released outside of it.

Circle of Blood is a 5ed scenario pack, each contain books and cardstock standees for terrain. They are worth having but a .pdf is adequate for our use, so sealed copies should IMHO best remain sealed.

I did buy a job lot of 5Ed scenario packs, without boxes and most missing the cardstock terrain, which was not needed frankly.

The lore is worthwhile and the scenarios are solid. Idol of Gork and Grudge of Drong are especially memorable.

Don't forget the Tears of Isha Boxset! We had a blast playing it

I found a place that had all the campaign packs in pdf. That starter set quasi interested me, but I'm not sure I can redirect the Lizardmen since my brother is packed full and has no interest in more of those specific models and that leaves me some really expensive Brets if it's going to go for ebay BIN prices.
