EBAY auctions of very well-painted 28mm plastic miniatures

ThunderAZ22 Jun 2025 7:42 p.m. PST

Just wanted to offer some quick suggestions that might help your figure lot get more bids. You've definitely got a diverse collection of models and paint styles, which is cool!

From a buyer's perspective, sometimes it's more appealing when figures with a similar look and feel are grouped together. It might help to re-group them, separating out, for example, the speed-painted figures from others with different styles. This can make the lot look more cohesive and and appeal to collectors specifically looking for that particular aesthetic. Also, I noticed some figures have different base types, and those differences can really stand out in a mixed lot. Grouping figures with similar bases, or even rebasing them consistently, could make a big visual improvement.

Regarding the description of "very well-painted," it might be helpful to describe the paint style as "tabletop ready" or "ready for play" instead. This can help set clear expectations for potential bidders, as the photos show a more basic paint application without much shading or highlighting.

Finally, a quick tip on pricing: to really generate interest and get bids flowing, especially for a varied lot, starting your bid lower – perhaps around a dollar per mini – often gets more people engaged and can help the auction gain momentum. Given the current paint quality, many buyers might be valuing these figures with the intention to repaint them, so pricing accordingly could attract a broader audience. Just some thoughts that might help!
