The Last Guardsmen Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Folks I really need the cash here. I'm willing to let the whole lot go with a case for 175$ or best offer. Dont want it all? Pick the goodies you want and make me an offer. I need rent money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Sorry to hear about your plight. From my experience, this is always a tough time to sell minis, everyone is broke post holidays :( It would help if you posted pics of your stuff too...that always gets extra interest. I've also found that posting the same thread I post here, then post it on craigslist, you reach a completely different audience. Good luck.

The Last Guardsmen Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thats some sound advice. I'll have pictures up shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 There's also Bartertown if you are willing to ship. From my experience, this is always a tough time to sell minis, everyone is broke post holidays :( Amusingly enough, the toughest part of the year to sell is Nov/Dec. January is like a bonanza of sales for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Guardsmen Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks for the advice pretre. Added some images(but my phone sucks) and a few new things from my savage box. Any one wanting a better look at something feel free to let me know. I'll take a few more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I suggest individual prices since you've mentioned you don't have attachment to selling as a lot. As a general guideline, Marines with all their pieces are ~$4 each. Common vehicles are ~$10-20 used (common vehicles being ones that are both old and well circulated, like rhinos, Land Speeders or normal dreadnoughts). Don't have to stick with these prices, but the model value is usually around this, used and before shipping, most places. If paypal is involved, could reasonably increase to cover the fees. Mark up or down from there, but it's a good guideline. I often use this when evaluating deals on ebay. For vehicles, mentioning if the weapons are glued in place, magnetized, or if they are removable, is a major selling point. If a vehicle has FW upgrades, you should mention that too (and probably increase the price to reflect the FW bits). Oh, and then when posting how much you'll sell the lot for, add up the individual costs with a strikethrough, showing that your lot price is very discounted (which your's is).

The Last Guardsmen Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks. That's some solid advice. I'm still new to selling on the net. EDIT: BEHOLD! FURTHER REVISIONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I would also suggest investing time into getting good pictures of your models. Seeing models in a pile does not spark my interest at all. To me, that translates to a lot of work to get the models to a standard I want to use. That in turn drives down the worth of your models. When I see a neatly organized group of models, that attaches a higher worth to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 The best way is to take pictures by squad using a light box (or at least something approximating a light box). I'm not great at this, but I totally agree with BroG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Guardsmen Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Sadly unless the weather changes I have nowhere with even passable lighting to take pictures or set up to do so. What are my options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Sadly unless the weather changes I have nowhere with even passable lighting to take pictures or set up to do so. What are my options? Get a bunch of sheets of white paper and make a clean, bright spot to lay the minis on. Grab lamps or other lights (including your flashlight on your phone) to make sure the area is well lit. Then take your pictures. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sadly unless the weather changes I have nowhere with even passable lighting to take pictures or set up to do so. What are my options? Kitchens and Bathrooms usually have the best lighting in a house. You can also use the porch or concrete, during the day, provided it's undercover enough to not risk damaging your models. Doesn't need to be a sunny day, overcast works fine with white/bright grey concrete. Worst case, bring the models to your local hobby store and photograph them there. They'll at least have good lighting. 35$ Land Raider (Missing & Presumed Unfinished) Honestly you're gambling on this one. Don't lead with this one. Also unclear what I am gambling on: Doesn't say what is missing...unless you mean it's $35 to learn if you are actually are selling a land raider or not. Keep the commentary minimal in your description, especially commentary that belittles your product. Use the pictures (need those still) and let your text supplement, but not replace, the description. You don't know what they want the model for, so pointing out how badly damaged or inadequate it is, doesn't really matter as long as they see the picture and understand that they are buying the pictured model. For example, a picture of a badly painted and damaged chaos land raider with heavy converstions for the weapons could worded as: CSM Land Raider (TL Lascannons and TL Heavy bolter, all plastic and green stuff, painted, weapons don't pivot). You don't have to say it's badly damaged because it should be obvious. Lascannons and heavy bolter could be heavy conversions or lego attachments, but it doesn't matter as long as you ID what the model is supposed to be in the text. If you know the material under the paint, you should mention it (like plastic or metal, green stuff, or others). If the vehicle is modular, you need to add pictures of the modular components when attached and when seperate. PS: $35 sounds crazy high when you describe the purchase as a gamble.

The Last Guardsmen Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Your advice is noted and appreciated. The pictures are coming tonight. I think we also might be able to cobble together a "How to Sell Minis Online" tutorial from this back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Okay, so one more step. Now you need to create an entirely new thread with this same information, but without all our comments and suggestions on it. And I'd select a title more along the lines of: H: 40k (orks, CSM, loyalists) W:Cash Then just pretend that you started knowing exactly what you were doing and go from there.
