If you ignore the stuff the resellers are trying to corner the market on (seems like knights, praetorians, metal titan parts at the mo) then prices seem to have sunk significantly in the last year and are well down on the lofty peaks of 2006-8 in my experience.
Yep, seems about right. Prices are slowly declining and popularity is waning. This leaves resellers grabbing loads of cheap minis and then trying to pull a fast one re-listing them with a huge increase. Been seeing Tyranid pieces going cheap lately. Managed to snaffle some E40K era Tyranid blisters for under a tenner recently.
That said, rarer pieces still can garner a tidy profit if sold properly (ie, list them so they end at the start of a month on a Sunday). Just ask how Glyn did with his FW Tau! Though I did see a painted original resin Gargant go for £11 the other day.
