The Great Sell Off part IX

 

                    Since my father died, I am left to sell his collection. I know jack all about his collection, the value, or how to sell it. I don't know the market. Over the years he told me this and that. I did not pay close attention or memorize what he said. Now I sit here trying to sort it all out and get Mom the most out of it's sale.

                    In an effort to save my family from the circus the Great Sell Off. I don't want my kid or my wife to have to deal with the massive amount of soldiers I have. They know a few mates in passing. They don't know what anything is, it's value, or where to find buyers. I will be selling off everything I have never used, sat in a box since the NY days, and those treasures I snatched up, opened the box, and they remain in that same box.

        Life has interfered and in doing so has delayed or prevented me from actively selling off my stuff. Additionally Life has stopped me from buying stuff too. I did grab some nice war gaming reference books.

            A lot of great Spanish conquest pictures. Waldman is a non Spanish historian. He is much more in the weeds for North American Woodland Indians

        About the same as the first. But Dillon is a Plains Indian guy. Both are a miss for me. 

        2 Custer books out the book for 770. Well one was a 40 page pamphlet. The other "the custer tragedy" 1st ed very good condition with DJ.

        The Epic army I bought long ago is gone. 1500 to the same guy that bought my Nids.

Brigade Games Plain War - Little Bighorn part II

 

        That was quick. Brigade was here waiting for me when I got home. All the Packs have the PLW and some number. Now I gots to go through the whole thing and find out who is who. Then contact the collectors for payment.

Brigade Games Plain War - Little Bighorn

        

            At some point early in the year Brigade Games Kickstarted a line of 28mm Little Bighorn miniatures. I got in at the highest level of support. I also selected additional minis. Brigade took their sweet time with the pledge manager. But as soon as you completed it, your minis shipped next day.

            There are a number of collectors, old men, that wanted the minis. They did not or did not want to understand kick starter. The risk was too much for them. So I backed it, too on the risk, for them. The minis will be split up, packaged and out the door the week they arrive.

            I am not so much interested in gaming the fight. The terrain dominated the battle field. The terrain plays such a large part in the battle. It would be impossible to create a playable surface for the fight. If you ever get to visit the Little Bighorn Battle field, you will notice right away the terrain sucks. This is why I am not interested in war gaming last stand hill. I could be talked into the Valley fight.  

Little Big Horn kickstarter

 

        I am not interested in gaming the LBH. I bought in and ordered extra packs for guys that don't kickstarter or are too dam old to use the internet. All wave 1 and 2 plus extra characters.
