WARHAMMER QUEST GAMES TOGETHER WITH SUBBUTEO (BOTH UNCHECKED)

WARHAMMER QUEST GAMES TOGETHER WITH SUBBUTEO (BOTH UNCHECKED) in 4-Day March Auction: Paintings, Int... (03 Mar 25) by Taylors Auctions (Montrose) Ltd

Not a lot of other interesting stuff up at present. A take a punt on the box contents auction and a very nice looking later edition of the WFB rulebook - not sure what version that would be - something around 6/7 I'd guess.
 
The Wessex Actions Room have got an absolute tonne of old and new Warhammer stuff in their auctions on the 14th/15th August some of which might appeal to people here. Evidently a couple of collections have been cleared out.

Lot 406

Lot 349 for anyone in need of some doom wheel wheels which I spy in that front box. As ever impossible to know quite what is in some of the other boxes without contacting them or going in person.

Lot 348 had a load of BattleFleet Gothic ships and 358 looks like a tasty pile:

Lot 362 I expect might sell for a fair amount as getting hold of those can be tricky these days and you'd hope with a couple of copies you'd be mostly complete.

I could keep going, lots of random bagged lead, so I guess if you loiter around Chippenham it might be worth a trip in person. Whilst I'd be tempted I suspect funds are a little on the low side at present and there are things I'd prefer to look at in person I think, so I'm going to try to pretend I didn't just spend half an hour looking. Still I expect it'll all end up on eBay in a few weeks at ten times the price :)

A a note to anyone new to "real" auctions is there are fees to pay on the final hammer price - often about 20% and in-house shipping services can be expensive so bear in mind if you bid £100 you might well end up being closer to £140+ by the time you get your mitts on the stuff. Still probably some bargains to be had and I expect it'll all go easily.
 
I have some experience as both a seller and a buyer with Wessex Auction Rooms. As a seller, I found the prices achieved were OK but not stellar. As a buyer, my reasonable (IMO) punts have generally been outbid very quickly. Wessex seem to have a lot of online followers and bidders with deep pockets.

FWIW, I've been to viewing days and chatted to the staff. They tell me that it's very rare for lots not to sell.

My advice? Only auction lots that you don't want the hassle of dealing with personally. Put in decent bids and don't expect to bag a bargain basement bonanza.
 
Most toys wins/ might need it later/ chasing the buyer's dopamine hit/ chronic man dolly addiction? TBF, some of my mates display such behaviours and thought processes. More than one in some cases.

why do people buy these games and leave them untouched?

Drifting off topic a little, but I bought Dark Imperium after seeing the new marines "in the plastic" at Warhammer World (a considerable time after release) and thinking they were actually rather good, but eventually ended up selling it untouched to a chap in Canada when I was having one of my "pile vs years left" moments and I though that seriously I was not going to get them painted and I'd rather be spending my time painting old lead and playing Rouge Trader anyway. So I guess that might happen in some cases. More surprising perhaps with the more "stand alone" games like Mordheim however.
 
Some folks on current model forums blithely talk about buying multiple copies of box sets upon release, does make you wonder how much shrink wrapped plastic is kicking around out there! :roll:
 
Seems a lot of the lots are shop stock. I was tempted to go as its my day off on Thursday but nothing really stands out for me apart from maybe the metal space marines, Sadly a lot of the images don't really show what is in the bags.
 
If you do pop in, let us know if you can decipher specific models.

As much as I would like Mordheim, it will no doubt sell high and the rules freely available on fan sites in a more manageable format! ;)
 
As much as I love Mordheim, I wouldn't recommend spending big on the boxed set. The rulebook's been superseded by an amended pdf only set so, you'd be shelling out for a few card and plastic buildings, plastic rulers and a flyer or two.
