"30mm Napoleonics Help" Topic

First, I realize the following question is remarkably subjective so those who are going to make unhelpful comments please take a sharp left turn and go somewhere else. I'm looking for a little guidance in a zone I am not familiar with.

For average painted 30 mm Napoleonics, not consistently based, what is a reasonable price range to ask for foot, horse, and artillery pieces? I believe most of what I am selling are Scruby's but have no way of knowing for certain until I get pictures posted. A huge part of the motivation for the question is to help my understand how much effort to put forth.

And, yes, for those wondering, I am the same person who posted a few months back – and these figures belonged to a now deceased friend and proceeds go to his grandkids.

My thanks to those able to provide guidance and constructive responses.

I'd say foot at $1.75, horse at $3.50, and artillery at $3.00.

The problem that you are going to have in coming up with a price is that you are dealing with an old line of figures that do not match much on the market today.

Your best in trying to sell these figures is to bring them to a flea market at a historical game convention. Be willing to barter on the price, and sell in lots – that you will not break up. Basically, don't sell the command stand without selling the whole unit, guns go with the crews, etc.

Well, Scruby Miniatures are still being sold by historifigs.com/index.htm So, there's bound to be a market. How many figs do you have? Any pics? I may be interested.

I disagree, I think ebay is a pretty good place to get market value these days, very rare to see something end up selling at below market on ebay unfortunately.

I just painted my first batch of the so-called 28mm figs. I wonder how compatable they are with the old 30mm figures. Back in the day, figures were actually as tall as advertised. Today's 28mm figures are really about 30mm tall, so I'm wondering how close the two are in size.

Thanks,

Just a thought – since Scruby is still making the 30mm figs, maybe they would contact recent orders for you, or allow you to advertize on their site?

EMW, have you resolved you dilemma? Our group has many 30mm Scruby miniatures since for many years he was the only source of the scale here in the states.

Do you have an inventory yet? Have you taken pictures?

Perhaps there may be a market depending on their nationality?

Thanks, Will
