Thread: Looking for advice from the group on the value of WWII planes

    Default Looking for advice from the group on the value of WWII planes

    I tried posting this in the Marketplace and it never showed up, thought I would try here:

    I have a bunch of Wings of War / Wings of Glory WWII planes that I am selling locally. I have an interested buyer for a number of planes but I am uncertain how to value the planes. I thought I would ask this esteemed crew for some advice.
    (1) Are there any WWII planes that have gained appreciably in value that I should be aware of?
    (2) What would you consider fair market price for brand (Still in box planes)? Original purchase price? / Purchase price plus 20% / Purchase Price less 20% / etc.

    Just looking for a ballpark opinion on how I should approach selling these.
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    E-Bay or Amazon is always the best place to start. You could also try Boardgamegeek.

    P-40 or Green Heinkel HIII would probably fetch the most interest if you posted them on E-Bay.

    If you want to PM me a list, I can quote you some fair prices having liquidated a few lots here in the states. Cheers!

    Thank you both. I was not seeing a lot of info on eBay. Perhaps I am not using proper search filtering but it was not yielding much luck.
    I will PM a list soon. Thank you very much.

    Right now ebay starting prices are a bit crazy so not a great help unless you could see what planes actually sell for.

    True - there are planes listed for sale with outrageous "Buy it Now" prices which have been on rotating listings for over a year now! They're not selling, and probably never will.

    I think I will sell these for Canadian cost + 10%. As near as I can tell, they are selling in USD for what I paid in Canadian $ so someone local will be getting a good deal.
    Thanks all for trying, I guess I was not the only one who found it hard to get clear value from perusing eBay.

    Cheers and keep your props spinnin'.

    Even though I would like a 6th Tiger I count my blessings for the ones I do have. Still missing a few yet to be released airplanes...

    I recently bought a few Wings of War Spitfires and Bf-109s from a friend, some used but near mint, and some with the maneuver decks still in shrink wrap. I know he paid about Cdn $12-ish for them, new. I paid him current market value for them, Cdn $25, the price the Wings of Glory Squadron Packs are going for in our local gaming store.

    He could have tried to sell the Galland and Molders Bf-109s for a lot more on eVilBay, but I think he liked me, and didn't want the hastle of posting, managing and shipping.

    Hmmm... A green Heinkel (H-3)? Could be a bidding storm...

    Mates' Rates do distort prices!

    I've recently plundered a source I found abroad, with prices well below current ebay insanity levels.
    Periodically items appear for very reasonable prices (presumably the seller doesn't know what they are worth!) - the trick is to grab 'em while you can, but don't factor their cost into any assessment of prices generally...

    Example:
    Bf 109 "Galland" currently listed on ebay uk; Buy It Now £66!!!!! It hasn't sold in well over a year (and the "seller" has more than one).
    Bf 109 "Galland" on ebay uk, sold to me by Evan before he became "Rival Sky", Buy It Now £42
    Bf 109 "Galland" mint in box on ebay Italy, will ONLY ship to Italy (I tried!!) Buy It Now £13.70!!! Sold now......


    Green He-111, yes.............
    If I ever get time to repaint my Winter Camo ones, each one that I complete will free up a BoB one for sale
