i'm interested to know more about your techniques when it comes to deciding to buy a lot or set of sprues! I'm getting into the reselling thing myself and want to find a happy medium where I'm still offering a better deal than James, but still making some money.
@@okkogono ha ha :) I like your style! I'm still learning really; I think some types of item sell better than others and also some armies sell better than others too. My first 'test' is that f I can look at the photos and I reckon I could double my money if I split it some how into auctions (not considering eBay fees, postage at cost to the buyer) then I would put a bid on. My ideal bundles are: -Bigger bundles, £50 to 100+ usually auctions but if you can catch a good BIN when they are fresh, they can be amazing -Listings where you have to dig through a lot of photos to see everything -Mixture of armies, but Space Marines Orks and Chaos ftw -All / Mostly Unpainted -Still on Sprue is best but not essential -bits from higher value units like dreadnoughts / terminators / leadership I think bigger bundles tend to be better value, plus the more expensive they are, the less competition you have as a bidder. With that said, I've bought small bundles for £10-£15 and still made money. Armies which are more popular tend to have higher demand and would sell easier, also things like weapons sell well, whereas more abstract pieces less so. The best bundle I've bought so far was huge but it didn't have the photos it deserved in the listing, which hid it's true value from most bidders. The bundle I bought for around £70 has already paid for itself and I reckon I've got another £150 to £300 in sale from it depending on how I split it, but I don't think that's the norm, I think I was quite lucky really. Given how much I just wrote about this, I think I may have to make a video ;) Thanks for the question and good luck with selling!
