I have a good amount of old 28mm Old Glory WW1 minis, and I need to get rid of them in a way that is economically efficient. I was going to use eBay, but I've heard this method is increasingly becoming less and less friendly to small sellers. What other places would be good to sell minis? |

If you sell on ebay, expect to lose about 15% off the top for various fees. If you are okay with that, nothing wrong with ebay, IMO. Buy a month membership on TMP and post in the marketplace if you have a set amount you want and you don't want to go the auction route. |

Bartertown works pretty well. |

Ebay has promotion periods where the fees are waived or reduced. Wait for those, it has the largest audience of any online marketplace. |

Here on TMP, and on appropriate Yahoo groups. |

I've been very satisfied selling here on TMP |

Bartertown can be good.
EBay reaches the most people worldwide.
TMP seems to have mixed results. |

use ebay as show room..or..as pusher approach :-))..before you purchase, thank to it, customers then you send them item lists..is not fair towards ebay?…don't care a bit |

E-bay has it's uses, but their charges are steep. I paint random units/armies to put up for auction every now and then. Then you send the buyer contact info if they want to add to the army. Good way to get new painting customers and sell a few items on the side. Just figure out what you want for an item, add in shipping and then another 15% of item and shipping cost. That is your price to charge. |
