warhammer 40k auction *UK*

ofc but why place a reserve on something if its an auction starting off price which is baisicly what the lot is worth. Its like me taking a 50p chocolate bar, and starting an auction for it at 50p
I hate to be a downer, but the resale value of warhammer is nothing, and the older models.. even less.
I had over 3000 point armies of Space marines, dark eldar, necrons, imperial guard, tyranids including limited edition and unopened versions of the emporers champion, my the years i collected, about £2500 worth of stuff, all painted pro (not scrub ultramarine type things, I did legeion of the damned ect).
I sold it for 700 the lot, and i had to push it to sell it at that (I only got that cos I threw in over £100 of paint for free)
Im sorry but you just cant say "I spent this much" on something and expect to make it back on a childs game.

pretty sure some of those older guard figures you cant buy anymore they were about when i collected 7+ years ago = rare
you can get them.
either in blister packs in the stores, or from GW's online store.
still available in shops = not rare.
To be fair though, bought new, the orgyns are about a tenner each so theres £40 straight off, not to mention the tanks at £20 each... but still, in a buyers market setting your starting price off at what it would likely go for on ebay as a whole lot probably is more likely to put people off, more than start it higher.
resale value on gw figures isnt that high. which is strange considering how much they are to buy firsthand.
