I am starting to come to terms with never playing certain games again and even worse never even taking some models out of the box.
So it seems to raise cash for dull but incredibly expensive things like daughters education (coming from free schooling I almost had a heart attack when I saw the prices) I am getting closer to being able to actually sell some of my models (as opposed to give away or sometimes trade).
A heart wrenching decision but lets be honest. In the next year I am either living in an active conflict zone (Afghanistan or Sudan) or near several (in Ethiopia). That amount of traveling and restrictions etc means its going to be 6mm if I am lucky, forget anything larger.
The window of selling I have will unfortunately be in January, probably the worse time to sell considering the unwanted Christmas gifts.
The stuff to go would most likely be
Fantasy Battle - 1000 or so mostly plastic figs from games like heroquest, advanced hero quest, several copies of battlemasters, random box sets etc. Empire, Chaos, Orks, some duff undead (not the old good stuff).
Copies of Heroquest plus expansions, Advanced heroquest and expansion, components from Battlemasters (the mats I think I promised to Gavin for his WWI air game), components for warhammer quest, random fantasy battle stuff, couple of those cut down games with drop dice lids. Whatever else fantasy i can find.
40k - 1000 or so Orks and grots, several hundred terminators, several hundred 'nids (though necessary stuff for space hulk would be kept), 1000 or so marines, 500 or so 'Guard, assorted tanks, platoon of squats, 100 or so chaos, random eldar, dark eldar and Necrons. Random other stuff.
Spare copies of Space Crusade and expansions, complete 40k second edition, random box sets games, maybe couple of copies of Advanced Space crusade (just maybe CS, those boards are awfully interesting for other games!).
Maybe stuff like Dark future, several sets and metal models, maybe not. Likewise Man O war plus expansions, top game but all the models went missing some years ago and theres no-one to play it against me, with alternatives, paper counters or anything 
And no, while the prospect of crashing the price of epic by releasing thousands of tanks and 10's of thousands of infantry is 1% appealing, it will happen only after I am dead. Its mine I tell you, all mine!
What I might do though is sell some of the spare sets of AT, Space Marine 1st and 2nd and Epic40k I have.
What I'm keeping for definite (for now) Blood Bowl, Mighty Empires, Space Hulk, Space Crusade, Rogue Trader (plus necessary models), BFG and Epic. Would love to keep Man O War but without the models ...
Saying that not sure on BFG - do I really need over 500 spaceships?
As you may have guessed this stuff for sale is 10-20 years old, which may or may not make it more sought after.
What I really want to know is how are the prices for second hand GW as outlined above, especially considering the bulk discounts apocalypse offers and the likely effect of that. I'm keen for maximum profit and I face maximum school fees!
