How much for all of these
The meganobs will still have the weapons options

Just refreshing the post since it was archived a while back.
Alternately the "Misses' Misses"
I've decided it's time we had a sticky for things that are, in my professional opinion, sticky.
If you have suggestion for things people should know about miniswap, trading models, packaging, or anything like that then let us know in this thread, or start your own thread so you can get all the sweet internet points for yourself.
For information on how feedback for trades works see:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Miniswap/comments/98u2nc/location_flair_karma_update_news/
The inspiration for this post is a block of information that come to us from u/maltravois
So, the basics are this:
- Identify everything and make a big list of every unit and their condition, material
Ex: Grey Knights (10) (Metal, painted)
- Look to see if the models are still available on GW's website.
For items currently available, I use the following price benchmarks:
- New in Box / New in Shrink - 60%+ of Retail
- New on Sprue - 50-60% of Retail
- Bare Assembled / Primed Assembled - 50% of Retail
- Painted - 20-50% of retail
If there's damage or missing bits, subtract from those percentages. This will give you a baseline.
For anything not currently available, you will need to check Sold Auctions on Ebay to find out what they are currently going for. Knock 10% off that for non-ebay sales and you should be good to go.
If all else fails and that sounds like too much work, find a reseller or private buyer and ask them to make you an offer. Do this with a couple to get a feel and go with the one that you are most comfortable/confident with.
It's also worth noting that well painted armies or miniatures that might have value to someone with one-off paint schemes may demand a premium.
So for sellers: keep in mind that potentially what you view as "excellent" may be just paint that needs be stripped off to someone else. Even if you paint job truly is excellent, if it doesn't match the army the potential buyer is looking to put it in don't get upset about what might seem like a low-ball offer to you.
For buyers: if someone is trying to sell a painted model at a premium don't get upset or abusive even if you don't think it's worth that much, just move along with a polite thank you if you offer if rejected.

Hi all, the mods are experimenting with a new automod setting to remove comments and posts by users who have a limited account history:
We're experimenting with two things: A two week account gate and a karma threshold. You need to meet either criteria to post on Miniswap.
To be transparent, the mods are discussing values: Is asking for a minimum amount of reddit participation too much? Are we punishing non-scammers too much?
My argument is that rarely do people organically discover miniswap- they typically would have been on reddit already, and asking someone to participate 25-50 times via comment/post or be on reddit for at least two weeks seems reasonable to me. Go comment on 25-50 cat pics in an hour and you're good to go, right?
However, we are receiving questions from accounts with very little karma activity. I personally don't know how you can be on reddit and not easily troll or cute cat comment your way to the karma threshold, so please enlighten me.
No, truly, I would love to hear opinions about this kind of policy. Thanks!

Heya, while going through some stuff I found a blooded kill team box that's partially assembled (two models assembled, everything else is NOS). Since it's out of print I can't find the MSRP, if it's not I can't find it on the Warhammer website. Ebay recently sold is just a range. Does anyone have a recommendation on a fair price to post it at?
Edit to add: I do like doing trades too so is it fair to trade for out of print kits or in stock kits with a price difference?

Hello! Before I make my post, wanted to check if it would be ok to list Iron Kingdom RPG books with my miniatures. They're miniature adjacent, as they required & came with their own minis, so wasn't sure about the gray area.

Hi all!
I was in the hobby for a couple of year 25 yrs a go, than rejoined 1 yr and half a go.
I had to learn again how to Paint (never mastered before, neither now anyway! XD) but I had a lot of fun in converting and painting my Freebotaz minis in the last months.
Now, with Armageddon box out and orks as First codex, I would like to renew my old models, but Money aren't infinites, so I would like to sell some of the older One to buy the brand new ones.
What I'm really interested is to know is if my Paintjob Is worth something, Since Is luckly enough Easy to find a good quotation for the plastics only.
I'll ad some pictures of what I'm more proud of (mostly Will be WIP pictures, but I have to work with what Pic I have on my phone) but I Hope It Will be enough to get some good suggestions on the topic:
PS most of them are also posted on my personal reddit in the last year while I was painting them it you Need some proof of autenticity

Hey everyone im looking to possibly make a listing to sell or trade my Tyranids. Im wondering what is the best way to ship everything that everyone has found? Also how do trades work? Id prefer to trade the lot for some Tau but how trusting should I be? What is the best way you all have found? I appreciate the help and insight! Thanks!

Hi, all.
I've moved to Germany this year and finally started collecting and painting 40K with my wife through the Hachette Combat Patrol Premium subscription and a few eBay purchases.
So the plan is to try and sell/swap the factions we don't like, and focus on what we both like.
From the subscription, we don't plan on keeping: CSM, Astra Militarum, Leagues of Votann, Genestealers and World Eaters, selling/swapping everything including magazines, but keeping paints, brushes and stuff (I'll list down everything per faction). Right now we are on Edition 35, so it'll take a while until I have everything ready to swap, but since I'm new, no karma and etc, thought about testing the waters sooner rather than later.
My question is, are there people interested in buying/swapping any of this stuff out there? For swapping, I'm interested in: Adepta Sororitas, Custodes, Imperial Agents, Tyranids, Aeldari, Orks, Necrons and also cash.

I'm about to do my first trade... And I have no idea how this works. I guess we just ship our items to each other hoping for the best?
r/MiniswapMeta • u/subjectdelta444 • Aug 01 '26
I am new to reddit and I am curious, how does the miniswap system work?
If you buy a model and pay someone, how can you know for sure they will send it? I don't want to sound paranoid, I just don't know if it is an honor system or if there are safety features in place. And if there are, how do they work?

I have an original GW big hat era Chaos dwarf army. Im looking to split up and sell. Just trying to get ideas of value from multiple places including ebay sold listing im trawling through.
So the army consists of
1 sorcerer on lamassu paper banners intact.
Dwarf command squad paper banners intact. Musician, drummer banner bearer, lord
Death rocket launcher and crew.
Earthshaker cannon and crew ( missing the extra shell bit that the 2 crew carry )
7 dwarf warriors
18 blunderbusses
Hobgoblin command squad, drummer, musician, lord etc paper banners intact
16 hobgoblin warriors ? The ones with an axe and shield
15 hobgoblin sneaky gits.
Everything is painted in the 90s way. Paint is showing its age and chipping in places. Metal banner poles bent in places and some of the banners are also showing some age. Attached in profile some photos as reference. ( Not all the rocket crew are in the pic )

OK I plan to be selling some models off soon due to various reasons and wanted to know like what I need to be prepared for, plan to sell them as a lot and I know I need verification but like whats the etiquette and whatnot, how do yall typically do pricing on used models? its also got some 3d prints so obviously im guessing a reduced price as a result of that right.

Hello! I am new to miniswap, and I have not had luck in my local warhammer/lgs discords. I am looking to sell two halves of some starter boxes and I am just wondering if there is a "going rate" on approximate value.
The first thing I want to part with is the Space Marine half of the Dark Imperium box from 8th edition, and three Reivers and 3 Intercessors from the tiny starter set. The contents from that are:
+3 blue plastic Intercessors and 3 blue plastic Reivers.
The other box half I am looking to part with is the Nighthaunt half of the Souls Wars box set. That is comprised of:
+3 Glaivewraith Stalkers from a learn to paint set.
So yeah... what would people roughly price these out as? I would ideally like money for them, and I would just like to get a fair price. Thank you for any help!

If you like OP, !woo them. If not, !boo them. It ties into our new community flair system to help people engage.
This and the flair system only work on /r/miniswap

Hey guys, im completely new to warhammer and collecting minis. I want to get Space Marines and them as I have 5 flamers but how should I start? I don't have a big budget and well this is my first time using reddit. Also what's PMing or PMO or something?
Uh thanks in advance
r/MiniswapMeta • u/ItsAllSoClear • Jun 08 '26
I'd rather an actual artist create our icon and banner. Folks could give it a shot and we could put it to a vote. I'd probably keep it rolling until we had enough submissions to put it to a vote- say, 3-5 options minimum.
r/MiniswapMeta • u/TheFloridaLeague • Jun 07 '26
I vaguely remember that in the past, on the main MiniSwap sub there was a single major thread or something like that for major box releases, if people wanted to split boxes. Will there be anything similar to that for the space marine/ork Armageddon box? Or am I misremembering? I’m looking to keep the ork half and split the rest, I believe I will have access to a box for myself but I don’t need the space marine half.

i'm thinking of trying to sell some aeldari i have, but im worried about shipping them, cause aeldari can be some fragile little things and seem like it'd be especially annoying with how spread out and spindly they are. how do yall package your minis to make sure they dont break during transit?
