How Much is a 40k Army Worth? eBay $1 Starting Bid

I would say them having 0 feedback on their ebay account really hurt the total price.

Jay and Nick: "This was a terrible idea!" Everyone: "Do it again"

I remember a while back when I sold a display model on ebay and I made less than the model was worth unpainted 🙃

My Dad was a commission painter, and once he tried the £1 strategy with a block of 40 black orcs. They sold for £1

Nicks screen presence is really great this vid, nothing against solo Jay (Jay is great) but I’d like to see both of you on screen together more.

This honestly was one of the most fun videos you have posted for a while, great job! I think you could make a series of it and try to learn from earlier attempts to eventually make BANK! :D

Nick’s profiency with 3D and photography is really impressive

Fun video I enjoyed this. Shame on the final price. As a full time eBay re seller specialising in Warhammer my 2 best tips to any eBay sellers would be 1. NEVER do auction. You give yourself a 7 day window to find the right buyer. There's a very good chance the right buyer won't see your listing at all. Put it by now for a price you'd be happy with and wait it out. 2. Feedback makes a big difference to finding a buyer who will trust you enough to spend big, and it also helps your listing more visible with the eBay algorithm

My thoughts: If you're not selling an ENTIRE 2000pt list (and more) of an army, it probably hurts the models to be a non-traditional color scheme. I mean, if I wanted to purchase a pre-painted army and cared how good it looked, I'd also NOT want to have to paint match to an off-the-wall color scheme. If you do this again in the future, try an already existing (and maybe even popular!) color scheme.

What a bargain! $350 USD for a painted box set, I would of been over the moon if I got that.

I think instead of working with a starter box if you curated a popular army and made it battle ready (1500-2000 points) then you would have more luck.

I think it would have sold higher if it was a more popular army.

The real funny part is that now that they know EOB painted it, who ever bought it will probably be able to sell it for $800 lol

Really fun video. You should totally do a series painting Kill teams for profit. You’ll get the same amount of content from a smaller cost and time investment, you’re most passionate about Kill Team anyway, and you can knock out a huge variety of teams for our enjoyment

I don't know but suspect people who buy painted units either might want to include them in their already (self?)painted army or will buy several different painted units over time to build their own army - so going with an official scheme might help.

Ive been in a lot of rough times and ive sold lots of 40k on ebay. And i learned that “armies” or “sets” always yield less money than individual units. I only list armies or sets when im too lazy to list every individual units separately.

Just when you think throwing stuff at least once per vid is Jay’s signature move, he doesn’t do it, completely subverting your expectations! A true artiste!

It’s such a shock that that no one sniped at the end…$360 would still be a killer deal for a buyer

I don't want to spoilt the ending of this video but....ouch. Please know that at least you boys thoroughly entertained us. What would also be fascinating is to do this again, but posting as yourselves, and announcing the army for sale on this channel and other social media first, to compare the effect social media has on sales like this.

I don't even play warhammer but I really enjoyed the building process and tension during the bidding. The amount of work done for this video is also way more than other youtubers who simply vlog their daily meals. Nice job both!
