Saga "The Old Worldish"
Day 9 - Buying and Selling
To the marketplace!Having worked out exactly what I needed I wanted to buy them in the most efficient way possible. To recap I required:
- 1 box of Ungors (10 models)
- 1 box of Gors (10 models)
- 1 box Bestigors (10 models)
Now after looking at the prices on GW buying them separately was going to be a bit of an expense:
- Ungor = £20.00
- Gors = £22.50
- Bestigors = £32.50
Taking my total to £75. All in all, not bad for an army. Unfortunately using a third-party seller would not have saved me much as the Ungors and Bestigors are direct only and so no discount.
While looking I noticed that there was a Vanguard: Beasts of Chaos box which wasn’t direct only so I could get a discount on it and contained:
- 1 box of Ungor (10 models)
- 1 box of Gors (10 models)
- 1 box Bestigors (10 models)
- 1 box Dragon Ogors (3 models)
- 1 Bray Shaman (1 model)
GW price it at £85, and most third part sellers are selling it for around £68. However, shopping around I managed to find for £53… so out the gate a saving of £22.
My plan is to sell the Dragon Ogors and Bray Shaman on eBay. The Dragon Ogors seem to be going for on average £30 for 3 or £15 individually. And the Bray Shaman for around £12.
So, in short, if all goes to plan (and I have not done a Lloyd and just purchased one sprue) I may be able to make most of the expenditure back.
Though in all honesty I do not think I am the first one to have had this idea as the marketplace seems quite busy for these particular models. Still no harm trying!
