Well, if you want to get the best value, then split the army up into separate units. It's a bit of a pain but you'll attract more bidders overall.

Post your items on eBay for a 10 day auction, finishing on a Sunday afternoon about 5 or 6pm GMT. That way you get maximum global coverage with bidders.

If you can't be bothered with that lot then just sell in one batch on eBay as a whole army. Make sure you take some good close up pictures.

How much would you be after for the whole lot ? I might be interested myself !

Heh, me too! Or perhaps just some bits and pieces of it. Where are you from so I can get an idea on shipping costs?

thanks guys, thought about the ebay thing, may give it a go but is alot of hassle.

Not really got a price in mind, not sure if they would be worth anymore cos they are from 1992?

I must have spent £300 plus when i was collecting them but guessing they arent worth that much these days, maybe looking around the 150-200 mark but realistically ill just be glad to put them in a nice home and open to reasonable offers, would be nice to see them go to a good home.

Most of them are unpainted although the ones that are can easilly be stripped down as they are all metal, does weight a little bit though would need to check postage costs although i do travel around the country a fair amount

How did you get on with eBay jukesy ?

If you fancy selling them here why not put some photos up to show us what you have ?

All the best,
Sigmar

Or...believe it or not....find Warhammer 40K Ork players, and tell them that they can use some of those models for conversion.

I've done it. hehe

Hehe, me (40K Ork Player)

Anyways, I do not usually do conversions to model I already made, and I don't happen on buying something new.

But, Orks are the way to go for, if you are conversion nut.

More Daka Daka for me!!
