A moment of silence for those miniatures that did not find a new home and only received negative comments from those who attended.


"Graphic" photos on my Facebook page may disturb some collectors) so please be advised.


Some original Jack Scruby medieval miniatures (regretfully possibly his first and/or worst sculpts,) some Essex Dwarfs, some Ithorian (Spelling) Scouts for Star Wars, some rebased HeroClix, re-based MechWarrior (?) miniatures in plastic and one metal, cards for Star Wars/Heroclix/Halo/Horrorclix/samples cards for games I never heard of or saw on the table, etc., were sent to the trash can.


Fear not there are still 8 shoe boxes left for next time (July?) plus more cases of miniatures I could not fit on the card table. Hopefully the next set of miniatures, plus game mats and possibly board games will find new homes.

A sad day but it was necessary after multiple attempts to sell and an attempt to give away the miniatures.

…and only received negative comments from those who attended.

Reminds me of the old joke of the sign in the Coffee Shop:

Don't complain about our coffee. Someday you too will be old and weak.

I have the same problem with some die cast planes and vehicles. I've had several attempts to sell them with no takers. So off to the bits box they go.
