This came up amongst one of my saved searches.
Only briefly tempted to bid and sell on at a profit but am struggling to sell off my own surplus models.

To save others from doing the math, there are 395 models, so at GBP7,500 that's an average of GBP19 a model.

On face value that looks quite good, but there are a lot of cheaper Brumm, Vanguards etc and if they're unboxed, they won't be worth that much. Still, you could probably get most of the value back just from the handbuilt SMTS, Milestone Miniatures, Kenna etc.

I would suggest an Auction House is a better way of getting rid of a collection 'en mass'. That way the seller will get a more accurate true worth after auction fees. Ebay also more likely to have time wasters attempting to 'cherry pick'.

Like Stewart says, the word 'struggle' is often evident. One man's meat etc,.
