Hey Dakka,

I have been seeking to trade off a couple of FoW armies for a while now and have been having limited to no joy (except some really stupid lowball offers) so I wonder if the kind people here could give me some pointers as to if I am doing something wrong or if the stuff I am looking to trade is just too niche (I have no idea as to what is popular or not). This is not a sales pitch!
So what I have is;
Soviet. (These are the remnants of three different armies).
Rifle company Hq.
1x extra HMG base.
2x Rifle bases.
1x SMG base.
10x T70 obr1942.
3x BA6 Armoured cars.
3x SU85.
3. KV1-E.
1x Matilda MK2.
8x Bases of mounted and foot Cossacks.
5x Bases of mounted and foot Cossack command.
2x Tchanka.
2x 76mm obr1927.
2x 37mm obr1939 (AA)
4x Zis-5 3 ton trucks.
2x BM-8-24 (T-60) Conversions.
2x Loading crews for Katyusha.
Set of Tank stowage.
Set of Decals (new in blister)
Rifle platoon (New in blister)
2 extra mounted Cossacks.

German.
HQ.
Company command with attached Rw43 (puppchen) and 2x HMG.

Combat.
Platoon of 4 squads with command panzerknacker.
Platoon of 4 squads with command panzerknacker.
Platoon of 4 squads with command panzerknacker.

Weapons.
HMG platoon with 2 sections. (Ie 4 HMGs)
HMG platoon with 2 sections. (Ie 4 HMGs)
Assault group, 2 squads with command and Warrior command options as well as options for 2x2cm FlaK38 and 2x7.5cm LelG18 (Note these can be used as a light AA battery and Infantry gun battery respectively).

Support.
Scout platoon 2 squads with assault rifles.
AT platoon with 4xPaK36 equipped with stielgranate.
AT platoon with 3xPaK38 5cm (think I have a third somewhere)
Artillery battery with 4x 7.5cm GebK15, staff team, command and obs.
Artillery battery with 4x 7.5cm GebK15, staff team, command and obs.
3x Stuka.
Please note these are older than Battlefronts release of mountain troops so the crews are regular Heer and the mountain guns have no gun shields (still got them but not attached) and also have 'pepper pot' muzzle breaks.
Also this list is ToE light scale, so where the books include command cars/kubelwagon motorcycles and sidecars are replaced, where the books call for trucks kettenkrads are replaced.


I have offered these as complete armies and parted out, I have not tried ebay or the local equivalent as I prefer to trade but is that the way to go if I just want shot of them?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Ingtaer.

Just from my own perspective re:Germans - the stuff is either too common (everyone has it e.g infantry, HMG, Pak) or too niche e.g artillery

Would agree you dont have lists that most people would usually play.

Also keep in mind with the explosion of plastics on the market prices on many of the items your selling are very low now.

Not to mention demand for Flames of War/15mm WW2 has kinda dropped off over the last 2 years.

They really messed up play balance and are still having issues staying consistent with the rules so alot of players have quit/moved on to other games.

So unless the armies are well assembled and well painted low ball offers is probably about what to expect....esp considering the discount prices plastic box sets go for.
