I'd say £40-50 more likely for a goblobber in good condition. I'd keep my eye out for a £10-20 bargain though. ;)
I paid £40 for one with everything except 1 crew about a year or two ago.

Could some kindly soul clarify what model "The Chaos Dwarf siege engine: £350-500" refers to?

Is it the one listed as "Chaos Dwarf Juggernaut" in the red Citadel catalogue of '91?
http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991b/cat1991bp290rcchdwfwms-02.htm
Yes it is. Apologies.
When I first put this list together years ago I could not be arsed to look it up and put that in as a space holder to look up at a later date .... Never got back to it and it just got repeated ... I have sorted the first post now.

The rarer FTT Trolls such as FTT2 & 5, I've seen reach £70-£90, they're rare due to their tendency to break away from the base & their being dropped from the listings following the re-branding to C20, the others tend to go for about fifteen to twenty; I only got my FTT5 a few of years ago, due to it being mislabeled has a large neanderthal figure! :grin:

is this list some kind of average price?
Because I've seen some Heroquest stuff sold for a lot more than what you listed here.
Also seems you guys forgot the Guard Captain. It was sold for a bunch less than the Nuln Spearman (1200 gbp if I am not wrong).

HQ stuff has been in some kind of weird price bubble the last few months (probably since the prices were last updated here), People are paying idiotic money even for incomplete copies, let alone the rarer expansions.
 
Hi, I need some informations about the scenario pack "the Magnificent sven" Amazon Warrior Karra Lokota (the slotta amazon in the left).
I have this miniature and just now I knew that is quite rare and could have some value.
In fact one on ebay was sold for 50£, but we know all that ebay could be crazy for prices.
Then I'm asking here how much this miniature could value. If it worthy I would consider to trade/sell it. Thanks.

PS: what is the value for the pre slotta amazons too?

I wish I could buy some of that rare things named by topic starter for that prices... I think that prices are obsolete.
As for ebay, I was searching and what I have found:
Chaos dwarves jaggernaut - 800 gbp,
TA4 dwarf jaggernaut - 400,
Slavemaster Braugh - 400 (no sertificate),
Imperial dragon (TA) - 600,
Hermit Malmont - 175(forged?) and 900!!! (for blister),
Giants of Albion - 150,
Boris on Ursa - 120 (sealed)

May be ebay is not good place to buy miniatures..?

You need to ignore Buy It Now (BIN) prices. They have no bearing on what items will actually sell for. All those items with insane prices will sit unsold on eBay for ever. Only look at sold auction listings that have had bids on.

As a quick example, this TA4 Dwarf Juggernaught recently sold for £100, that's far cheaper than the 400 you listed it as.

Also this Giants of Albion went for £80.

Basically ignore BIN prices, they're put up by idiots and chancers.

Another thing to consider is how recast rare models affect the price of genuine ones. Over the past 6 months a slew of suspiciously pristine chaos dwarf juggernauts have entered the market for absurdly low prices, selling for as little as £80 each. This led to a known genuine one from a respected seller going for around £200, a quarter of the price of your average buy it now listing.
I doubt sellers of chaos dwarf juggernauts will ever see this kind of price again.

Whilst I wouldn't personally buy a recast, upsetting the reseller market really doesn't bother me in the slightest. Pointlessly inflating prices due to an artificially perceived rarity that doesn't really exist is all a bit stupid, really.

I have spare Chevalier de Malmont in blister
Can anyone tell me what is the real price for it nowadays?

Well, this one was bid up to £68.

Personally I don't pay extra for stuff in blister, but some people will.

Blister and unopened box make you sure you will not buy fake. Yes, I saw some lots for prices you have mentioned but very often it is needed to strip them from old ugly paint and so on, although sometimes you have no choice. BIN prices - yes, sometimes you can offer your own price successfully, but it does not work always. Auctions? If you are lucky, it helps. But I do not remember Braugh there at all or price lower than 250 pounds for the Marienburg landship.
And the most important. 68 pounds for Malmont? Heh! This is price for recast. No one can prove its authentity for sure, casting technologies are too advanced nowadays. And for recast it is too expensive.

Agree. One time I saw 3 new landships and 3 chaos mammoths for 300$ each. Chinese seller :grin: He was banned then if memory serves...
And some sellers sell recasts for high prices. Bretonnian bombard for 50 dollars, made of WHITE metal. 1980-s model and white metal? It should be alloy containing lead...
Well, recasts can be acceptable for game, but not for collecting hobby as I think.
