In general, what are you observing with price trends on WFB boxes?
At our recent event at DaBoyz I saw a few battalion boxed sets at attractive prices. Like $75 for what might have sold for $125 a few years ago.
I saw boxed sets (like the Arachnarok Spider) for $30. Good deal! Looking for that same box on eBay - best price is $50, with $70ish seeming common, going up to $100.
In general, where do you buy?
I like to do all my buying on Amazon or eBay, but that's just me. This is just as relates to GW product. I am not picky on NIB versus assembled.
Obv, assembled and/or painted would depend... I am going to repaint it, regardless. so I am not going to put a premium on assembled, in fact - it's more of a detriment than a bonus IMHO.
Overall, I expected the pricing for old Warhammer stuff (say, anything manufactured in the past 6 years) to:
1). Go UP when they announced 8TH was being discontinued, and then
2). Go DOWN when those sellers realized they had $1000's of dollars in obsolete product typing up warehouse space.
Do we have any amateur economists in the audience?
**This post isn't really about absurdly OOP stuff from the 80's or even the stuff I cut my teeth on in the 90's.
Mostly, stuff that was a normal stocked item and in production when GW made the move toward END TIMES.
