Getting back into the hobby

Post by exDyversTriad10 »

Greetings everyone,

I am getting back into the hobby after about decade absence and after cleaning out my basement, I found some OOP boxes of figurines.

Namely, I have two boxed sets of the Imperial Guard Praetorians from the Battle of Big Toof River, as well as, 4 Praetorian Sentinels. I found a number of Battle Sisters and digging through the box of loose/poorly painted metal figs, I found 2 Eldar Harlequin Jetbikes (with the grinning face canopy).

Is there a good place for me to find a relatively value of these items?

I don't believe there are any empirical sites out there that value miniatures like, say, Baseball cards.

Whenever I find OOP Treasure, I tend to check the "Completed" Ebay auctions to find that things sold for, or the Buy It Now listings there to see what others think the value is.

I also use ChaosOrc.com as he has a pretty good idea what things can be sold for.

I KNOW that for OOP Figures, bare metal condition is much more valuable than painted... and still sealed is even MORE exciting.

The battle sisters, are still in production though, and retail for $12 for 3, about $4 each.. you might be able to move them at 75% or so..

2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack
