I would start with something like 400-500 Euro and see how the bidding will go. Personally I think such an army worth over 1k Euro.
Keep in mind that eBay and PayPal take fees so that should be considered too.
Going eBay you will have to advertise your lot extensively to get enough attention and bids though.



I think I will try it on the Dakka Swap shop first, with paypal ofcourse. Will try ebay if Dakka won't bite.
I will make a summary of the army with pictures, points costs etc. tonight.

Maybe make an eBay listing... but also put the link for the listing in a swap shop thread.. you should be able to do that. kill 2 heldrakes with one lance shot so to speak.

^^ A wise plan. That's probably the best way to go about it. No idea how much you should charge for the army though as I don't know how many hours you put into building everything so just go with a price that seems right to you.

Alright, here is the Listing of the Army for sale.

40k Star Wars themed Clone Trooper army:

8 Clone Troopers: (Count as Warrior Acolyte/Tempestus Scions with 3 Melta-guns)



8 Clone Troopers: (Count as Warrior Acolyte/Tempestus Scions with 3 Melta-guns)



7 ARC Troopers: (Count as Warrior Acolyte/Tempestus Scions with 2 Flamers)




6 ARC Troopers with miniguns: (Count as Jokaero Weaponsmiths)



1 Jedi (Kit Fisto) (Count as Terminator Librarian with Nemesis warding stave)



Clone Captain Fordo (Count as Inquisitor/ Coteaz)



3x Scanner bots (Count as Servo Skulls)



Clone Trooper Sniper (Count as Vindicare Assassin)



C3PO & R2D2 (Count as Objectives)





Republic Gunship #1 (Count as Storm Raven Gunship)





Republic Gunship #2 (Count as Storm Raven Gunship)



ARC trooper Republic Gunship #3 (Count as Storm Raven Gunship)





Group Shot:



In Action:



As you can see, there are Troopers standing in the interieur of the Gunship, that's because the floors are magnetised and all models are weighted with nikkels in their bases, so they can stand firm without falling out of the ship.

Scenic Bases with destroyed Battle Droids (One sliced in half by a light-saber )



Close up cockpit:




No transfers were used making this army. Everything you see is freehandend on the models.

WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTO'S:

Clone Troopers W.I.P.








Jedi is almost entirely made out of modeling putty:



R2D2 is completey scratchbuilt, and C3PO is made with bits from a necron Warrior:




Just as these destroyed Super battle droids that are on the Flight bases from the Republic Gunships:



GUNSHIP WORK IN PROGRESS:

I used the valkyrie kit to make these, with extensive use of Plactic card and clear plastic tubing to finish them off.








All that is missing is a proper group shot though...

Shipping: Worldwide
Payment: Paypal



So how is this for starters? What should I add? Other tips?
And ofcourse, what should I ask for it??

Also I saw in the Dakka Swapshop that every thread had an [H] and [W]. What does this stand for?

Alright let me know what you guys think. Appreciate every bit of help!

Mate, whatever price you will put on the figures yourself, double it. This army is fantastic and I think it will attract some serious star wars fans just because it is unique.

In any case, I assume you have the power to hold out for a good deal. Trust me, people WILL pay for something like this.

Best advice I can give in addition to the above, sell it for the price you want and take no less. It is a great army and you should get the price you ask for.

If you figure out what you want, a buddy of mine is getting out of the army VERY soon and is an IG/Militarum Tempestus fan, so he's VERY interested in this.

Yeah just ask whatever you want for it. I reckon you could easily get $1500-2000 for something like this, maybe more if you found the right buyer. Us people still with GW have gotten used to high prices!

The letters in the swap shop stand for have and want, in your case it would be H: Clone army W: Moneys You might also want to limit it to the EU if you don't fancy shipping too far overseas.

Ive had people pay far more for models than I payed for them new simply because they were interesting or unique (even though I said they are paying too much, they kept bidding).

Im not saying rip people off, but this has lots of potential to get you some gain etc. The quality of the paint and assembly, along with the uniqueness AND consistent theme will go far in the second hand selling.

id start at 1-1500 USD with no buy now price (Make people bid until the auction ends) and see where it goes.

Good luck mate.

Thanks guys! Really appreciate it!

I am gonna go for Worldwide shipping with track and trace.
I want to get a broad as possible audience as I can for this!

Honoustly, I was aiming at 2000 Euros, which is about $ 2600 USD.

Posting it on the Swap shop tonight, will make some last adjustments to the post and we're of!

I love this army.

It's part of the reason I needed to put together on of the Revell gunship kits for Deadzone and infinity. (I'd say yours look better than even the proper kits)

If I had the cash that this army deserves I would buy it off you. As a thought it might be worth waiting till the new Star Wars films come out to sell it thou (not sure if it's would be the same but comics normally go for more when the film comes out)
