Preamble: I’m generally more interested in trading for things I want, particularly rarities you can’t get hold of anymore (or that you can buy, but - with the lack of the bits service these days - only in large packs of other unwanted things), rather than selling things to make money. I’m based in the UK, but willing to trade internationally for stuff where it seems worth the extra postage in doing so.

HAVE:

Lots of the old square bases I'd love to swap for the newer strip ones.

Titans:
1 x Pair of Rubble Claws
2 x Banner Pole 1, 1 damaged with the very top of the pole missing
1 x Chaos Titan Tail 4
1 x Tzeentch Head
1 x Eagle Head

Space Marines:
Loads of the old plastic Land Speeders

Imperial Guard Tanks:
1 Forge World Stormsword Tank - pristine and with no visible casting problems as you sometimes can get with FW models
6 SM era MKII Manticores (3 very slightly more than base coated, 3 not painted)
6 SM era MKII Basilisks (all very slightly more than base coated)
7 SM era Hydras (some painted)
3 SM era Bombards (one painted)
2 SM era Deathstrikes (+2 carriages without missiles if wanted, slightly painted)
1 MKI Hellhounds (+1 with small top flame thrower piece missing if wanted, painted)
1 SM era Baneblade (painted to a decentish standard)
3 SM era Stormblades (the ones with the missile racks on the side. The plasma gun on one of them is painted, apart from that they’re unpainted)


Chaos
12 stands of Chaos Squats (2 have SM era chaos champion figures taking the middle spot of the square stand, with 4 squats around them, mostly unpainted)
12 Khorne Juggernaughts (painted and mounted two to a base)

15 metal Tzeentch Flamers (mint, not painted or basaed, white metal)

16 plastic Tzeenth Disc Riders (a few painted)

3 metal Tzeentch Horrors


Orks:
Loads of old plastic battlewagonz

Masses of the old original platic battlewagonz
SM era Slasha Gargant
Orks are my largest army and I many and various bits from various ages for them. If you have a particular Orky model(s) let me know and I'll check if I have some.

WANT (especially things marked in bold):

Epic Eldar:
Any spare Forge World Eldar tank hulls you might have (perhaps extra from from miscast or missing orders). It's just the underslung twin shuriken catupults I need for conversions, so these need to be in excellent condition but I mind not about the rest.
Antenna bits from Falcons/other vehicles, long thin part that goes to the right of the twin shuriken capupults and is unreliably present when they supply them

Spare turrets from Forge World Wave Serpents, any variety of heavy weapon but especially interested in the twin shuriken cannon ones.
1 Metal Dire Avenger Exarch

Imperial Guard:
Current EpicA model Sentinels

Tau
Hammerheads with Railguns

Orks
EA Battlefortress
EA Stompas and/or Super Stompa
EA Soopa Gunz

Adeptus Titanicus
Reaver Titan carapace weapon mount banner poles
Carapace Landing Pad 1
Power Ram

Marines:
Techmarines (either plastic or metal)
Metal Servitors


Chaos:
Plastic Deamons
I'd like a few epic40k metal Chaos Vehicles or spare weapons/spiky bits from them (planning to convert model SM ones to chaos)
Mortarion
1 x Slaanesh Hell-Strider Knight
1 x Slaanesh Hell Scourge Knight
1 x one of the the smaller Nurgle artilary Daemon Engines (can't recall the name offhand)

Newer type rectangular strip bases.

Post in the thread here and/or send me a PM if there’s anything you’re interested in. If you have any questions or would like photos on anything, feel free to ask.

I might be interested in trading for the Psi-Titan bits.  Would a Megasaur and a Fire Gale 1 cut it?

It’s nice to be famous! That and Solegends, which it's linked from, are both good sites for looking back on old models.I might be interested in trading for the Psi-Titan bits.  Would a Megasaur and a Fire Gale 1 cut it?
I’d want more to trade for it than that Zap, sorry!

I left it kina vague because I was unsure what the comparative values of Exodites to a Psi-titan would be, just having understood anecdotally that Psi-Titans were meant to be rather more valuable than even the Exodites, who do pop on ebay very occasionally. Doing loads of searching and digging round on google and here I finally came across someone mentioning at least a vague price in relation to a psi-titan and it was â€Â

Actually, if you dig on Ebay there were 5 sets of Psi-Titan metals sold on Ebay over a 2 month period starting about 6 months ago (IIRC).  I suspect there were probably some second chance offers too.  The first cleared $200US by a good margin but one set went for $91 (and  I didn't get a second chance offer, and 'm still kicking myself for it).  A complete set of Exodites (3 of the little 1 piece model and one of each of the rest) went for $281 about a month ago.

I used my Psi-titan parts on my I-Titan and a terrain piece ... I know I'm not really adding to the conversation ... I'm just being annoying ! :) :D

Yes perhaps, but we are now used to your informative if pointless manner.  :))

And we're sure those weren't just good recasts?  Were they from different sellers or the same guy?

I remember one guy selling lots of rare stuff... and if you checked his Feedback, he'd *also* won a bunch of casting equipment and such just a month before... hilarious!

Best of luck on the trades!

One guy.  Claimed to have bought them from the US parts service to use as planetary defense bases for Gothic.  I got him to send some extreme close ups and they certainly looked the goods, and were cast in good old GWUS pewter so I was comfortable they were ridgy-didge.  He didn't have a massive amount of feedback for selling the same 30-40 OOP GW items over and over like a couple of current Ebay sellers either  :p .

Naughty seller! I'd be gutted and a cross if I found out I'd payed silly money for something uber rare for it actually to be a fake.

I’d be happy to trade my Psi-Titan in an exchange that involved me getting 3 Exodite Carnosaurs. They’re the only epic which’s truly hard to get hold of that I really want and I just wouldn’t be happy to part with it for less.

I’ll just leave it and see what happens, there might be someone out there bought a load of Exodites when they were available, but needs a Psi-titan. If it doesn’t go I don’t really mind; more Carnosaurs would be nice for the army I’m putting together, but they aren’t crucial. The Psi-Titan can just go back in the big tub with all the hundreds of other OOP epic bits.

Bit disappointed no-one’s mentioned or wanted to trade for anything else, but I guess maybe most of the members of these forums are veterans who already have what you need. Or just no-one wants old squats or SM era stuff these days. May ebay some of the stuff at some point, but in all probability I won’t actually get round to it.

Hey GlynG,

What's the ratio on all the rare Eldar Flyers for Eldar Knights? I'm not promising I'll trade but I may be  interested at the right exchange rate. I may have some/all of the Eldar Scout too but will need to check.

I'd love the Psi-Titan conversion kit too but the only dinosaur types round here are my sons toys. There not that bad for 6mm scale and I have them by the bucket... No?.. Ah, well. :))

Hey Warhead :smile:

What do you reckon would be a fair offer?

I have no idea what the comparative rarities or worths of the two are, so it’s really tricky to know what to suggest. I’m hovering somewhere around 4-5 Knights for the 4 flyers maybe (assuming you want both the Vampire and the Phoenixes?), how would that sound? Which Knights to do you have by the way?

Definitely interested in some scouts too but ‘fraid not on your other dinosaurs, lol. If I could let myself use those sorts making a 3,000+pt Exodite army would be so much more easier and cheaper to acquire, but I’m stubbornly wanting to keep it strictly GW models only.

Puritan. It does make the collecting that much sweeter though...  :))

I have all the different types of Eldar Knights but some are painted and very much part of my Eldar Host. I will need to check what I have spare and get back to you tomorrow. It's too late to go rummaging around. I'll PM you in the morning. The exchange rate sounds ok so far but depends on the type of Knights I'm trading. Until then I'm off to bed.

If Warhead passes I could send you the Firegale 1, the metal Eldar commander and 25 of the Lasgun Guardians for the complete X Phoenix.
