Hey dakkites! In an attempt to downsize my GW collection I sold of my Ogres, my Dark Angels, my Grey Knights, etc... Just keeping my long standing Tau and a small Iyanden contingent. Well, it's left me with just my Warhound as the oddman out. He's partially painted and not fully glued together. Just basecoated and has some near pro level painting done, along with heavy duty pinning work done for break down and storage purposes. Anyway, thinking about selling him off to add some forge world fliers for my Tau. I hate the aesthetics of the Sunshark, ugh... Anyone got a good.ballpark number to list it for on eBay? Appreciate your input!

Edit: forgot to mention the weapons, got the turbo-laser, the Vulcan, and the plasma blastgun...

Well if it has pro-painting done, you could list it around about or maybe slightly more than retail, particularly if there is pinning done to ease assembly, but without pics its hard to tell. In 99% of cases you'll need to go under retail. Without an image to judge it'll be impossible to tell.

I like the look of the sunshark.

I'll give you £20 for it

Honestly though, seeing as it's partially painted and assembled, I'd start it at £100 and see where it goes from there.

Providing the auction is long enough (at least 7-10 days), you're better off listing something like that as low as possible. I find that low prices mean more watchers, which in turn means more people willing to bid.

Anyone searching ebay for a Warhound will see it with a low price and immediately think they can get it cheaply. Multiply that by several dozen and you will have a whole bunch of people hoping they can win, eventually trying to snipe each other at the last minute.

Appreciate the replys! Was thinking of maybe setting a reserve of like $250... He's a lonely imperium fella in my collection, but I'm not strapped for cash or anything so it's not imperative to get any available bid. Hmm, gonna have to do some thinking! It is such a great model might have to finish painting and go from there! Thanks!

Don't paint it if you're trying to sell it. Painted models are worth less than unpainted ones because stripping the paint is extra work. If anything, spend that time stripping the paint that's already been done so you can sell a clean kit.
