Stepman 3… we need ot talk…. I am always looking for LOTR stuff… GW I assume?

Daribuck Supporting Member of TMP29 Oct 2014 8:55 a.m. PST

I am bringing tons of stuff, primarily 15mm AWI miniatures cleaned and mounted on sticks in groups of 12. I have like over 1000 of them… Long story, I started the process, cleaned them up, mounted them to be primed and painted, and, well, never finished. Might as well move them to someone who can use them!

Looking for some thoughts on pricing: Old Glory 15mm Miniatures are like $.50 USD @, and Essex around $.60 USD. (Is That right?) So what should I price my sticks at? If I sell them in groups of 100 (8 sticks * 12 infantry + 2 mounted leaders @) I was thinking of asking $40 USD per box, and yes, they all come in very attractive cigar boxes. So that's $.40 USD @… Is that a fair price?

jpipes29 Oct 2014 8:59 a.m. PST

Charge whatever you think you can get for them but my experience with unpainted 15mm is about .10-.25 a fig. If you can buy painted and ready to use 15mm for around $1 USD I doubt many people are willing to pay .50 for unpainted 15mm. It depends if your goal is to get max value return or to move the unused product.

TheKing3029 Oct 2014 2:40 p.m. PST

Anyone bringing Foundry or Perry AWI or Foundry paints??

Moe the Great29 Oct 2014 4:43 p.m. PST

Moe I have an enormous 6mm scifi collection I was contemplating selling off. It's all well painted and ready to play and I also have a ton of 6mm scifi terrain and buildings to go with.

Scott Landis

Moe the Great31 Oct 2014 3:44 p.m. PST

War Scorpio02 Nov 2014 9:26 a.m. PST

I would be looking for anything WWII in 20mm. Metal for figures or tanks. Working on a Kursk scenario so German and Russian. Always looking for buildings and terrain in that scale too. Have not seen too much of this in the Basement lately!

47Ronin02 Nov 2014 1:25 p.m. PST

Bowman,

I love how you never give up when it comes to adding to your collection. Please look for me on Friday or Sat. morning (now that you know what I look like) and I may have some items to add to your last purchase.

For everyone else, figures for sale include unpainted 25/28mm Ancients, Middle Ages, FIW, AWI, ACW, Colonials, Pulp, WW1 and WW2 made by Foundry, Perry, Front Rank, Minifigs, Old Glory, Artizan and Copplestone.

Hope to see you there.

TheKing3002 Nov 2014 1:31 p.m. PST

All the figures I got from you at Historicon are painted!

Green shirt, right? wink

historygamer02 Nov 2014 6:40 p.m. PST

I have some classic figures for sale from Tradition and Les Higgins, along with some 30mm manufacturers. I have some F&I Blue Moon still in their packs, some 1/72 model tanks, some other odds and ends, along with Lego figures for some Xmas presents. I also have a painted felt battelfield of Talavera for 15mm (fields, roads, etc)for sale. I also have some GW Space marines for sale as well.

War Scorpio03 Nov 2014 5:02 p.m. PST

TheKing30-Would be interested in the SHQ WWII 20mm, as long as they are German or Russian. Already have a 251/9. Are you scheduled for a time in Basement, or meet separately?

Emperador Carlos03 Nov 2014 5:41 p.m. PST

I'm looking for a copy of Bonaparte at Marengo if anyone's selling it.

TheKing3003 Nov 2014 5:49 p.m. PST

War Scorpio – they're a mix Americans and Germans. I'll bring them all and you can make an offer on what interests you. If you're not interested in them, no harm no foul.

I don't have a table but let me know where we can meet.

Stepman303 Nov 2014 8:47 p.m. PST

I also have for sale 1:72 scale WWII Germans and Russians with lots of tanks and stuff…all painted….

47Ronin04 Nov 2014 2:59 p.m. PST

Bowman,

Nice of you to remember. Glad to hear all your new figures have been painted. No Renegade this time, but plenty of other unpainted blade-weapon figures. I'm sure you will find something to fit your needs.

TheKing30,

The short answer is both. The long answer is unpainted 25/28mm FIW & AWI by Perry, Foundry, Front Rank, Old Glory and others. Also some painted odds and ends. Take your pick.

Hope to see you there.

War Scorpio04 Nov 2014 3:47 p.m. PST

TheKing30 – my email is ejala@hotmail.com. Drop me a message and we can exchange cell numbers. Sometime Saturday or Sunday morning would be good.

Ok – I'll be sure to stop by your table. Thanks :)

Email sent. Text or call whenever it's easiest for you.

Stepman305 Nov 2014 9:02 a.m. PST

also selling 15mm Peter Pig Sudan Brits and Mahdist enough for TSATF, 20mm German WWII cavalry, A CHAOS Space Marine army, FoW Romanian army, LOTR Minas Tirith Army, Morgal Knights, Orcs, Dwarves, Hobbits, Old Ral Partha, really old D&D figures and assorted other goodies and bits…

Its understandable its a flea market and everyone want a good deal, but don't "Low Ball" anyone. If what you want to buy has some effort in it from the seller be respectful. No one selling their stuff (well maybe a few) are looking to rape anyone over some wargame figures but it would be nice to make enough to offset other purchases in the dealer hall.

snurl105 Nov 2014 10:35 p.m. PST

Don't forget to bring any old fantasy figures along to sell.

jpipes06 Nov 2014 5:35 p.m. PST

>I'm looking for a copy of Bonaparte at Marengo if anyone's selling it.

I have a copy of the follow up game also by Simmons Games, Napoleon's Triumph, and also oop that I was considering bringing to sell. If interested PM me offline.

47Ronin27 Oct 2019 11:38 a.m. PST

Another "blast from the past" updated for today.

Easier than starting a new topic.

Also, it's always interesting to see what others said in the past.

Hope to see you there.

I can't believe I was wasting my time reading 5 year old posts!
Arghhh!


TRU

47Ronin28 Oct 2019 3:50 p.m. PST

You have to check the dates, TRU.

No matter. Some of the same stuff from 5 years ago (or more) will still be on sale in the flea market.

Hope to see you there.

Bowman29 Oct 2019 4:36 a.m. PST

Lol! So true.

Ember52 Supporting Member of TMP04 Nov 2019 9:40 a.m. PST

I am desperately looking for GW LOTR Grimbold…..

I have invisible ring beares and other stuff…

Poniatowski08 Nov 2019 7:53 a.m. PST

Just plugging this again….
I am really searching for the GW model Grimbold…. I have lots of things to trade or outright purchase…
Napoleonics, FoW, WW1 planes….other LOTR stuff….

I just really want this figure! (yes, I know that as soon as I get it, GW will re-release it or make a new sculpt… that is my luck)

Personal logo enfant perdus Supporting Member of TMP10 Nov 2019 5:35 p.m. PST

Anyone know what the table dimensions are for Wally's? Trying to narrow down what I'm bringing.

I'll definitely have a load of 1/72 plastic aircraft kits, steel figure bases, CMH uniform plates, lithos (Werner, Ogden, Vanity Fair, etc.)…

WarWizard11 Nov 2019 7:11 a.m. PST

LOL, I was reading the 5 year old posts too!

14Bore12 Nov 2019 2:16 p.m. PST
