I am looking to sell my scratch built Warlord titan. It is armed with a vortex support missile, apocalypse missile launcher, plasma destructor, and a volcano cannon. The titan stands approximately 34" tall, both its eyes and the stained glass window gallery at its top light up and it is painted in the color scheme of the Legio Astraman. It separates at the waist for easier storage and transport. Pictures are attached. My asking price is $3000, but I am certainly willing to negotiate and will consider all serious offers. I can accept paypal and am willing to ship anywhere provided the buyer will pay for all associated shipping costs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1467743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1467743.page GMT [H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA]
You can grab a whopping 3 Reaver Titans from Forgeworld for 3000 bucks and have a bit of cash left.

Okay, then, a suggestion...I would see someone paying a maximum of $500 for this, absolute maximum.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468054.page GMT [H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA] http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468180.page GMT [H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA]

Also, that you could get two Reavers for that is irrellevant because you cannot buy a Warlord titan kit, it doesn't exist. They only way to own one is to scratch build it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468468.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468468.page GMT Re:[H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA]

I figure 140 hours x $20/hour for skilled labor equals $2800, plus $100 for materials gives us $2900, bumped up to $3000 for a nice round number to kick things off. If you want to only pay $200, then you'll have to build one for yourself.

I think that if someone commissioned you to do the work, you might be able to use the above logic, but that's not the case. All that matters is what someone is willing to pay for the object, not what went into it. You can see this in most ebay auctions. It doesn't matter what it cost originally, it only matters what someone is willing to pay. Painted armies that people try to sell on these boards never reflect the hours that go into painting them. Certainly not at 20.00 an hour. 100-300 hours put into a large army is over a period of a year is quite common if any one kept track of their hours. But it doesn't matter, because the people buying the army don't value your time that way.

Granted, you can't get a Warlord from FW, but then again, this doesn't matter, as yours isn't from FW. So it's apples and oranges. What I think people are trying to convey is that a couple of reaver titans from FW is seen as superior to your scratchbuild, and yet cheaper.

What you can only do is take offers from people, and hope that to one person at least, your titan is seen as being worth an amount of money that makes you happy, and that he wants to pay. Hopefully someone that plays a lot of Apoc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468767.page GMT [H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA]
You can also put it another way minimum wage (in Canada) is 9.50 x 100 hours (which sound more believable) = 950 dollars, converted to US dollar -> 948.764 USD (+100 dollar for materials (or not as they could be considered as a starting investment)) makes for a more decent price.
Sure at that price I wouldn't buy it but I'm not saying nobody would buy it. You shouldn't base the salary on your actual wage, more on what it would cost you to pay someone to do it at minimum costs.

ps post your titan on other boards/sites and ask for offers (there will be ridiculous ones) with no set price and
offer a respray/stripping service, for a small cost, it helps get those people who don't know how to do it still be interested on your offer. You will see how much interested people want to offer. Keep in mind that you are selling something that won't attract so many buyers so it might take time to sell.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/1468822.page GMT [H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA] Mod Mode On.

Had to clean up pile up posts again.

my friend that is an awesome warlord. I like it, Scratch building is hard and takes a lot of time. It is no different then sculpting an item then creating a injection molding system for that model. Please people admire the art of the item before ripping down some ones hopes. show some sliver of respect.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/6495599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/6495599.page GMT Re:[H] Scratchbuilt Warlord Titan [W] $$$ [USA] Please don't resurrect ancient threads - it knocks someone else's current thread off the front page.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/6495613.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288047/6495613.page GMT
