Liquidating my WWII 54MM 1/32 Scale Collection (1 Viewer)

[DGriff1701A]

I Have a MASSIVE collection of 1/32 scale WW II Tanks, Planes, Infantry, structures ect that I want to sell to free up space and cash for my current hobbies. I'm a bit of a collector fanatic and I tend to get EVERYTHING and then find out later on that I overdid it a bit. OK maybe more than a bit. :tongue:
Anyway I know 1/32 isn't the "In" scale these days but if anyone is looking for anything to round out their collection just let me know. I have hundreds of items. William Britain's, Figarti, Conte, Frontline, Forces of Valor, 21st Century, Forward March ect... I will put some lists out here as time goes by. The metal stuff have their boxes. A lot of the plastic like FoV and 21st Century have been opened and no longer have the boxes. I am by no means in a rush. I spent thousands on the collection and intend to get back what I believe that they are worth. At the same time I do want them to sell so I'm not going to "price gouge". I'll be slowly listing items on eBay (probably like 1 a day). My user ID is the same as it is here (DGriff1701A) and my feedback there is currently 903 (100%). I just wanted to give anyone that reads this post the opportunity to maybe get that missing piece of their collection before I post it up on ebay.
So send me a message here if you want something specific and i'll let you know if I have it. I'll also update this post with lists as I get around to it. Thanks for reading my post :smile2:
Oh...I prefer to do buisness through PayPal so please no offers of sending a check.

Thanks for your interest

I just want to let everyone know that I try and research what items sell for (mostly based on eBay completed listings) I will generally sell items here for less than what they go for on eBay because A-there are no additional fees and B-I would like to get you guys a little bit of a deal.
At the same time I don't want to "short change" myself because I did pay a lot to get some of these items. If I get back to you with a price that seems too high, I apologize for that but like I said I don't want to sell something for $50 when I could get $150. Researching costs on these items will be hit and miss as some of them just aren't readily available anymore. I will do my best to offer these items at a reasonable cost. Only thing I can say is that if I list an item on eBay it will most likely have an opening bid of less than what I would normally ask for but them you may have to bid against others. It's all hit or miss in an imperfect system. So if I ask for a price that is too high, I'm sorry. All I can say is keep an eye on eBay. It will be a SLOW process but eventually everything will get posted.
Oh and please be aware that if I quote you a price, shipping will be an additional cost on top of that. Shipping is a tough thing to estimate but if I over charge you I will refund the difference back to your Paypal account

Sorry PTA-003 is part of Figarti's 1/30 Scale line. I only have 2x A3214P LVT-4 and A3221P LVT(A)-1 which are 1/32 scale releases.
Thanks for the inquiry

Hi David:

Oh, okay - thanks anyway!

Already got those!

If you still have the Figarti Japanese soldiers left - can you give me the Model numbers of what's still available. I have most, but still am missing a few older ones!

Thanks,

I have the following sets
J4005 "Marching Soldiers"
J4007 "Attack Infantry"
J4009 "Officers"
J4053P "Banzai"
J4080P "The Last Banzai"
J4081P "For the Emperor!"
J2002-C Type 94 37mm Antitank Gun-this one is loose (no original box) and the spotter has a repaired binoculars.
*Just to give you a heads up though that these pieces are probably the most valuable sets that I have with the possible exception of the bloody Omaha serries. Not too many people make metal japanese figures (these are the only 1/32 scale ones that I know of) So i'm not going to list prices just yet but there is a good chance that these will go to eBay. I did see a completed auction a few months ago for one of the banzai sets for over $300. I wouldn't ask for THAT much but they will not be cheap. I don't want to risk losing large chunks of money. So if you want to enquire about a certain set (or sets) let me know and I will try and come up with a fair price.

Since I already got a few inquiries about them yes I do have the full Set of the Conte BOSS
These cost me quite a bit to get a couple years ago and i'd like to at least break even.
I plan on selling them as a complete set only (sorry if you were looking for just that 1 missing part)
I would be willing to let the set go for $800.00 + shipping. Thats pretty close to what I payed about 2 years ago ( I may even be taking a slight hit). I have no way to base what is or isn't a good price because....well no one has sold one recently that I can look up (that I know of).
If I take it to eBay I will probably post it at Buy it Now $999.99 with a lower pricing point to start the bidding (Probably around $500). Again I can't really estimate the value of these items and whether or not this is a good price point. I just dont want to take a massive hit if I sell it too cheap.
It was displayed and there is only 1 issue with the set. The radioman's antenna snapped off and I tried to re-attach it. It is currently holding but I didnt do a great job so someone with skill might want to re-re-attach it. I had fine hobby sand with the display but blew it clean with compressed air before boxing it back up. So if you find a few grains here and there I do appologize but it was sand that I bought from a craft store so it's clean. Well as clean as sand can be I guess.
Anyway if you are interested let me know. Shipping would be a bit more than usual because of the weight but if I overcharge I will be more than happy to refund the difference.
If you are interested you can send me a PM. No rush on this item. I have plenty of things to sell so if I take it to ebay it wont be for awhile yet.

Give me an idea of what you'd be asking for the following:

J4053P and J4081P

As I said, I have a number of the rest!

Thanks,

3x FoV t-34/85 sold-thank you Red Baron
FoV Gray zundapp and kubelwagen sold-thank you Duke

 

[DGriff1701A]

Those are 2 of the 3 sets that I expect to be the highest value. It was either one of those or the 3rd one (J4080) of that action theme that I saw go for over $300 on eBay a few months back.
I expect these to go to eBay as my asking price will probably be too high for most.
I'll risk taking a hit for fellow collectors.
My asking price on these sets
would be $200 each or $350 for both
The other sets (not these 3) would be less. The ones where they are fighting hand to hand with marines seem to be the sought after ones.
Thanks for your interest.
