Looking at buying a 40k ork lot locally. Lots of OOP metal and OOP vehicles. Are they worth more or less? Its all kinda painted kinda not. about half the lot is not primed and primed. Other half is lightly painted... Some stuff is current range but not much. Heres what hes got its all 40k orks, asking $80. Thoughts?

OOP Trukk
Current buggy
Wartruck
6 OOP bikes (last gen)
Box o bits
2 metal burnas
5 Metal commandos
2 metal big shootas
1 warboss with attack squig metal
1 mad dok metal
6 metal grots
36 assorted boyz and oop half metal stormboyz
GW carry case
Zap gun Metal

Some stuff will be worth more, some will be worth less.

For example, the old monopose metal grots that are hideous? Not worth much.

Some of the really characterful metal models from 4th ed or so like the kommandos? Probably worth a fair bit more.

Got any pics?

Thanks for the reply! I don't have any pics that I can post, sorry. Ill try my best to describe it haha!

The kommands look like the current edition ones, they are just metal. Same with the grots, look like current editon but they are metal also.
Storm boyz are the half metal ones.
Truck is the old one that might actually fit 12 boyz in it haha!
Mad dok and warboss are just metal but look like the current ones as well. Bikes for sure are the older ones with the 2 big shootas sticking out either side.

Thanks for the help and advise

Thats a pretty good list, but if he's going to ask for 80 bucks, you should ask for a box of boyz to counter the slag thats in that list. Box of boyz, or another truck.

I'd buy it, convert it and clean it up and paint it, then flip it for a 100.00 bill. ( I'm sick like that, though. some stuff might not make it, but in the rest, a split squads of 10 boyz, a heavy weapons section for add ons, or flash gits, and the "Kommand" section, with the salad and desert.
You need more vehicles, in that list, though. scratch build a couple, and add in a looted vehicle, for a pretty good mech infantry ork army. ( I coule recommend scratch building a speen rippa, or a gobsmasha squadron, for heavy weapons support.

Sell the GW case, and the six grots, they are good for you to gather up some scratch foe something you might like on a rainy day. What is the condition of that case, BTW? You could ask for a C note or two for that case, alone, and make up the difference.

Pictures?

You're thinking of the plastic ones.

Whoops. My bad then.

They're not hideous, just remarkably boring since there's only one pose.
