The BIG Selling-up SALE - Part 2

 Howdy folks,

Well.. its been a week since I first announced my intention to sell-up. Thank you for the interest so far.

It's been a week, because honestly, I started.. and I continued.. and continued.. and gave up about 95% of the way through! As I write this at my desk I have just noticed that under the desk there is a Conquest of Gaul box set (£70 rrp), a Terminator Box set (and I know I have missed at least two other Terminator sets behind me, under a different table...), among a few other boxes.

In short, I have so much stock to pass on that I have given up cataloguing it all when the RRP passed the £12,000 mark!!

And that number didn't include all the odds and sodds miniatures. For instance, if I opened a box and the models were not in a jiffy bag, but rolling around loose, I just ignored them and counted the models in the bags instead.

So... we are at £12,000 retail.

Here is how I worked stuff out.

If the models/packs had an obvious rrp, that was the total counted. This was easy to check on the manufacturers website and comes on all my invoices from the suppliers I use.

2nd hand stuff was a bit more of an ordeal.
For much of that I had my own eBay store to fall back on, and where I didn't get around to selling the price was found using the average of the recent sales on eBay. ONLY counting UK sales, and only completed sales (no listing prices).

I cant seem to figure out how to set the spreadsheet to 'share' or download it to hand out, so I have used 'screenshot' and included it all below.

If you are serious in buying please do contact me to discuss offers.

Please Note - this would be impossible to post. We are talking stock for a small shop here. You will need a large car or a van to collect all this.

FOR SALE - All my stock!!

 

Hi folks,

In short.. I am looking to sell-up all my eBay stock, my trade show stock, and all my models, books, boxsets, painted figures, complete armies, games, loose minis, everything!

There are two main reasons why...

1. Business is booming! Honestly since lockdown online sales have been heaving! My sales have been close to 2k a month, which sounds great (and it is - thankyou everyone who has purchased from me!), but for me the sales were meant to be an additional income alongside my painting work.  Handling such an increase in sales is taking too much of my time and really eating into my painting.

Its clear my eBay store and additional private sales are close to becoming a full time job, and I don't have the time. I really want to return to focussing on my painting work and getting my commissions completed in a timely manner.


2. I live in a 2-bed terrace and with boxes of stock all over the place it is becoming difficult to move around!

These last two winters I have suffered from health issues, due in no small part to my being unable to keep on top of cleaning and maintaining my home. Before the weather turns again this year I need to make a concerted effort to clear up and clear out, and that means getting rid of a lot of boxes of minis!


What's up for sale?

Sadly my inventory skills have been lacking a lot and a good majority of what I buy in just goes straight to the 'will sort out later' pile. A very rough idea of size would be around the £2000 mark. That is to say, I don't have the amount of stock you would find in a bricks and mortar store, but I have way more than would fit on a 'bring and buy' table. You can see a good idea of what I have on my eBay store. That however doesn't include the hundreds of loose minis and armies I have.

While I compile a real list of what is included, please take this post as an announcement and intention of sale. If you are interested please message me or keep checking here and my Facebook page.


The Romantic Notion

As you can see from this very page (if you check out my 'About MiC' page), I started with my own shop in my early 20's. I built that business up from almost nothing and appreciated every customer and every piece of help and advice I got. To return the karma, if you are in a similar boat as I was back then (a young'un looking to start out), or you are looking to start a business,  I will give you a better price AND include a lot of my postage and packing materials, give you my contact/supplier details, and any advice or assistance you may need selling online/eBay.


The Non-Romantic Sale

If you are a dealer, or just looking to make some money you probably wont need my help or contacts. I'll still give you a good price, but please no low-ball offers. I've been selling since the late 90's and had this store for the last 3 years. I want rid of it all, but I'm not about to take £400 for what I can put on eBay and get 5 times that.


Warts and All

Please be aware..
This is warts and all sale.. you will be getting loads of good stuff and all my boxes of random 50p plastic elves.
You will need a vehicle to move all this. Postage would be nigh impossible due to the amount!
