<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Used 40k Model Prices"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Used 40k Model Prices FLGS. Assuming you are buying from the swap shop, then you're cool with buying second hand and that doesn't support your FLGS, so you might as well consider all of the other options including online discounters.

I regularly see people selling used models for 30% off MSRP on swap shop. Sometimes they give a bigger discount but only if you buy a large bulk of models that probably contains some that you don't really need, and therefore a lot of the extra discount is lost to needless waste. Considering you can get new models for 25% off online, I don't think 30% off for used is really a good deal. Personally, I'd pay that extra 5% and get new ones.

I guess I'm wondering two things:
1) Do people really have success reselling models at 30% off? It seems like most of those swap shop threads just get bumped over and over which leads me to think that they never sell.

2) Do you think that 30% off retail for used models (assembled and painted to a low standard that you will probably want to strip and repaint) is a good deal?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459453.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices

No, not when you can buy it new, for 20-25% off retail from some online shops.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459503.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459554.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices
I work full time, I consider my time valuable.... $10 savings for 3-4 hours of work making a model ready to prime isn't worth it.

I've sold models on ebay, and generally they only got 50% of what they were worth... sold 2 guard armored companies, only got like $450 for it (3 baneblades, 6 russes, 6 chimeras). Still, it was poorly painted, so I didn't expect much more. Most of these sellers don't understand that, and charge stupid high prices. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459561.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices
Metal models fetch 75%+ or msrp. I mean come on, it takes an hour in acetone and a swift brushing to make it brand new again (unless the model is damaged)

Plastic starts off at 50%
Damaged/missing pieces models can take off and additional 5-20%
I'll never pay more than 30% msrp for models with plastic glue.

Unless I wanted to by a whole army at once, I don't care about the paintjob. It's all getting stripped anyways so I can put my paintjob on em.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3459594.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices

Places like Dicebucket and the Warstore.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3460376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3460376.page GMT Re:Used 40k Model Prices
out of all my stuff I only completed a Big Mek and almost completed 2 killa kans and a deffdred.

I still have:

Warboss
2x Mega Nobs
5x Noz
12x AoBR Nobz
3x boxes of lookta/burnas
2x trukks
Battlewagon
Chimera
6x AoBR Deffkoptas
Box of Ork Boyz
40x AoBR Orks
Box of Gretchin
Stompa
And a whole cigar box packed full of bitz.

All together, using the prices of GW and the Warstore it comes out to about $700.
After cutting 20% it's like $560.

Selling it all as one would be great but I think it'd be tough waiting aund for someone who wants an ork army.
If I sold it all individually it would take forever. I want Necrons NOW!!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3460569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3460569.page GMT Re:Used 40k Model Prices

I'm confused because you said you used prices from GW and Warstore, but Warstore is 20% cheaper than GW. Is the 20% that your reduced it by off of GW prices or warstore prices?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3460795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3460795.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices

If its really crummy, I won't pay more then 50% of retail.


If its a good paint job or unpainted, I may be willing to pay closer to the original price. Like unpainted, but assembled models, I would pay 70-80% of the original. its a case by case basis mostly.


If you get something thats NiB or opened, but still on the sprue and its complete I would be willing to pay up to 70% of the original.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3461394.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3461394.page GMT Re:Used 40k Model Prices GW prices on all the "normal stuff" and Warstore for the AoBR stuff.

I figured I'd try to get rid of it all at one for like $500 but I can't yet as per the Swap Shop rules.
I have to get pictures and everything ready first. I also want to get rid of dark elves but they're painted.

Hey DeffDred,

I'm probably not a potential buyer, and I'm a bit of a bargain hunter also, so take that for what it is worth. You might get someone who thinks your offer is a great deal, but imo if you are including items like 5x Nobz (regular nobz box I'm assuming?), 3x boxes of lookta/burnas, 2x trukks, Battlewagon, Chimera, Box of Ork Boyz, Box of Gretchin, Stompa and you are only going 20% less than GW prices, then you are pricing too high. I can get all of that stuff at 25% off brand new in box with free shipping. That's just my .02 and I hope that didn't come across harsh. I'm just trying to give you a little feedback since it seemed like you were looking for opinions. Good luck!

Edit: considering they are still on sprues, you might find someone to jump on a 20% off deal if they don't know about the discount online retailers we mentioned earlier, or maybe an international buyer that can't find a source of low prices like we have in the USA ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3463627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3463627.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices

I think so. Though it would be nice to get -30%rrp in the UK. I think Maelstrom is more like 10% on GW stuff.

Yeah prices for badly painted GW models can be a bit silly on ebay.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3463700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3463700.page GMT Used 40k Model Prices
And the best part about badly painted GW models on eBay is that they are all listed as "pro painted". ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3466953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3466953.page GMT Re:Used 40k Model Prices GW. the high Australian prices are because of Tarrifs and aren't caused by GW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3467250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3467250.page GMT Re:Used 40k Model Prices

That's bogus. I'm sure Australian tariffs are plenty high, but they are not 100%. And it doesn't explain why they charge the same overage on things like EBOOKS. So what, Aussies charge tariffs on the internet, too? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3467803.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3467803.page GMT Re:Used 40k Model Prices GW Price for used models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3468414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404701/3468414.page GMT
