Post subject: | Huge Lotr Lot, don't know what to offer. |
So a local guy offered to sell me and some friends his whole lotr miniature collection as a lot if we were interested, and he has a lot of stuff, I mean a lot. I don't even know where to begin where to throw him an offer so I thought I'd post what he emailed me and maybe I can get a rough idea from some of you. So here it is... "Just starting a list. I'll send you another e-mail later tonight with more. All of these are either unpainted or primed black (Metal) Mordor Orc Captains Grishnak Gothmog Ft. & Mt. Mt. Ringwraith Mouth of Sauron Ft. & Mt.

I'm thinking bank loan lol. Judging by the amount of stuff the guy has i would hedge my bets he knows what he has there if you take my meaning. If you are marrying his daughter you might get a nice cheap deal here. Failing that its going to be expensive i think. Theres well over i would say £3000+ worth of stuff there going by the current market prices and that would be cheap for a haul of this size. If you bought that lot for 3 grand and then ebay'd it you would make 6 grand minimum easily i think. Play it carefully and start with a mediocre offer to test his reaction. He may shut you down straight off then raise the offer to suit. Its a big haul and if he knows what he has there then yep the bank loan or second mortgage is the only option lol. Good luck buddy. |

yea that would be quite the stinkin investment, I might just go for what I want with the pick and choose method, he said he would give "quite a good deal" either way. Idk how he expects me and my friends to even make an offer on all of that. another question, is there anything of rarity in that collection that would be worth grabbing for sure? |

Nothing really that could be considered rare but plenty that is worth buying if you can get them at the right price. Metal Black numenoreans are expensive these days. Black guard of barad dur Legolas Mtd Any of the metal commanders sets are always a good purchase Witch king on fellbeast Metals are a good investment n general, the more time that passes the more the price seems to rise at the moment. |

Commented on tla, I got a similar lot of a guy a while back for just 125, it does, like dms said, depend on his knowledge of their worth as this guy simply described the models as lots of plastics metals few elephants and trees a castle in which I ended up with helms deep mumaks rare metals ect and he clearly had no knowledge of their worth. I started of very stubborn even after my amazement from pics. Just keep your cool and say however many friends are investing cough up 50 quid each and see where he stand. When your done send me his details I want few bits lol. |

ya I'm pretty sure he knows their worth. I'll have to see what my friends are willing to all pitch then see what the seller thinks. So much lotr, its a little over whelming haha |

I agree with DMS regarding rarer models - not a whole lot there by the looks of it, BUT I would add - Kardush the firecaller I think is harder to get now and fall of the witch king would be worth it (if that is the diorama type one, not just Eowyn, Merry and WK...) When lotr first came out, it was $1 (au) per plastic and around $5 per metal. I would suggest you roughly follow this guide but make some discounts on it. Most ebay metals will go for under or around $5 each, so I would be offering maybe 2-3 and be willing to go 4-6 for some of the rarer metals such as Dunedain, Rangers of the North, bats, Black guard, Dwarfs, sentinels, blackshields. To make it easier for your to decide just go around $15 for 24 troops, $7 per metal blister (normally 3 troops) and $10 for characters that you want. This will give you a ball park figure, you can choose to test the waters by going a bit lower and getting a bargain if you want - it shouldn't hurt. It's a big investment, so make sure you are getting a good price on the things you don't want to keep. |

a couple of friends and I all split on it. Got it all for 600 (Canadian) plus his terrain and all the odds and ends he found. Some of the stuff is painted professionally, eg. the Mumak and isengard troll. So I say we got a pretty good deal. |

Offer him a hug. Just to see what he says In all seriousness, that is an absolutely massive collection he's got there! As DMS says, I'd fully expect that he has at least some inkling of what he's got. It's not old enough to have been "childhood toys" that he's found, and there's too much of it to assume he was half-interested in dabbling with the hobby. |

That must be deal of the century. You could sell off some of the excess and recoup your money, then leaving you the stuff you really like / want. |

Okay so I lied, we ended getting it all for 570 (CND) and a bunch more stuff that wasn't included in the list like 4 more trolls, professionally painted army of the undead, treebeard, grimhammers, a metal dragon, two GW carrying cases one large and one small. and just a bunch of other stuff I cant think of because there is just sooooo much of it. I am very excited. |

Like, it would be interesting if it went up on ebay soon and I happened across it. |

That's a ridiculously good haul! I'm somewhat jealous!! I'm likely to put in an order from GW today with my birthday money to try complete my Lotr metal collection. It'll probably be in or around the same as your total payment but I can safely say I'll end up with a few less minis than what you've acquired!!! Happy painting and gaming with that lot anyway! |

Oh I see, you meant trade .. ah well thats ok then. Sell? Must be really late. What you saw was... merely a statement on how funny it would be if that item was to appear on another website. Not suggesting anything at all. (Yeah I just read the rules todayish.) |

Wow that is insane for such a low price. How many plastics did you actually get where it says 'lots of'. |
