I've got an embarrassment of x wing ships. Some of them painted - most of these painted poorly. Some with components broken off. In terms of upgrade cards I've got quite a few additional upgrades I purchased separately (crack shot, for advanced title thing, etc) but no ships past the vx-100 or whatever that thing is. Plus I've got a pretty good assortment of tournament swag. Acrylics and alt art.

I've been pretty put off by the recent direction the game has taken. At first I was holding out hope for things to settle down but it seems quite obvious the glory days were years ago. I really don't have much attraction to a star wars game where none of the best units are recognizable. Plus the power creep is a bit silly.

Anywho - I figure I better unload my stuff before everyone else realizes the same.

I live in a small city in Canada. There's not a huge market for stuff here. What's the best way to get a decent return on this stuff? Parcel it out individually - break it down to individual components and upgrades, or try and sell the whole works as one lot, maybe to someone online?

What do you guys think? Worth the hassle of parting it out and probably shipping a million parcels or should I look yo unload the works in one fel swoop and get less money ?

If your small town in Canada is near the west end of the GTA, you may want to hit our Tuesday night games in Milton. Lots of original trilogy stuff in our particular meta. We even have a seemingly monthly Death Star run and semi-frequent HotAC scenarios.

Ebay, personaly, I buy x wing on ebay more than anywhere else, and you can sell as a lot, and get it out quicker but get less profit, or sell them seperately, takes longer, but makes more money.

Alternetely, if you want armada or something, the big x wing trade thread could be great. (just search on ffg x wing community big xwing trade thread.)

Hope that helps.

ebay for sure. certain older ships like y-wing, k-wings, etc. are desirable both because theyve been out of stock for awhile and people still play them. if you have broken ship models, certain people(myself included) will buy them at a discount to cut apart and make other things.

no matter what I would recommend figuring out what the ships in your collection would cost new on a retailer like cool stuff inc, then accepting that a percentage of that value has been lost from use. I personally consider a used ship worth half what a new ship is worth, unless its painted well or hard to get like a Y-wing. then I'd guess at the value of your extras(tournament templates or whatever you mentioned), and add that back in. maybe promo cards are worth a couple bucks each? etc. if the total you've got is getting huge, consider breaking the sale up by faction or something smaller buyers can afford. an enticing couple hundred dollar lot will sell easy, a thousand dollar lot is a hard sell most of the time, etc.

if youve got broken ships post them in painting and modification, people have been asking for em. good luck!

There are some entire collection going for sale in one big package on eBay now.

I think comparenwhat you all have to what those all are and get your price in that ballpark then try all at once for a while. If that's not working then you can do the extra effort of splitting up into smaller chunks.

That's how I'd do it.

Price it and list it!!! Off they go fast indeed!
