@ManicMan Just found a job lot on ebay, 44 pre slotta humans / humanoids / horses / animals, a selection of loose weapons, some props (barrels, etc) all for £13.38. Looks like I will find something to use for a spear head, and should even find a few more to paint up for D&D nights. I am sure some of it will be worthless, but the 4 horses, 6 riders, and pack mule all look good, and I already have 2 horses without riders.
When I get a minute I have a few miniatures that google tells me are rare collectors items, thay are all undamaged and have never been painted. Before I start painting them I want to post a thread on here to see if they really are of interest to collectors (I never believe what google tells me). If they are I will part with them rather than paint them up for D&D nights. Which is the best board for me to post a thread like that? I will sell them thru the trading board on here, but I need to know what a fair price is. I cannot tell from Ebay because I can still pick up miniatures quite cheaply, but there are loads of adverts selling old miniatures like mine where they want £20 plus for a single broken early 80's model. Who in their right mind pays £20 for a single miniature that is completely missing its weapon!!!

You can search for "sold" prices on ebay which will give you a better idea of what something might sell for - if there has been a somewhat recent auction. If in doubt I always think - start the auction at the amount you'd be happy to part with the model for - then no one is second guessing and worst case you'll get that or it won't sell. If doing a buy-it-now come up with a realistic nice price and accept offers if you'd consider a lower amount.
