"Value of Some Old 'Partha Minis?" Topic

Hey, first post and all that :). I've got a couple of old Ral Partha minis I was thinking about selling but I'm not sure about fair value to ask. Are there any resources, or collectors here, to help me put a price on them?

I've got:

Hooded torturer and naked female victim on rack (def. rated "R") (painted)
Elven bard (painted)
Robed spellcaster (painted cloak)
Angel with shield (primed)

I think most collectors look for unpainted Partha. You can look on Ebay to get an idea.

Thanks,

John

Old Ral Partha figures don't tend to sell for as much as, for e.g. Citadel, partly because they kept many of their figures in production for so long. Unless the painting is exceptional it is unlikely to be a draw. Most regular figures will go for around £1.00 GBP each unpainted. The angel is a really good figure and could sell for £3.00 GBP – £4.00 GBP unpainted. Those bondage / torture type scenes tend to do very well – I am not familar with the Ral Partha ones but I'd expect to get anything from £10.00 GBP to £20.00 GBP for a set like the one you have described. Sad really. This is all educated guesswork though.

Put them on eBay, and see what happens. Don't bother stripping off your paint, rather put a note in the description stating that they can easily be stripped (soak in Simple Green cleaning solution overnight…) if desired.

Also, many of the old RP minis are still available from Iron Wind Metals.

The RP AD&D minis, on the other hand, can go for more than $100 USD each, depending on the minis.

You can get alot of the mini's on the UK/European side of the pond from Ral Partha Europe ralparthaeurope.co.uk .
Probably best to check there to see if they are OOP before setting your prices.

(I've ordered from them numerous time and they've been good.)
