Warhammer Resale Value Guides

2 guides to what used Warhammer is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. Warhammer resale runs opposite to most collectables in one respect: what a previous owner did with a paintbrush can raise the price or destroy it, and the difference is simply how well it was done.

Which Warhammer pieces hold their value

Out-of-production models and discontinued ranges, which cannot be bought new at any price and are sought specifically
Sealed and unbuilt kits on their original sprues, which give the buyer the choice the hobby is about
Well-painted armies by a competent painter, which genuinely add value because the work represents many hours
Complete boxed sets with the rulebooks, transfer sheets and inserts the box lists

And what pulls the price down

Badly painted models, particularly thick paint that has filled the detail, which costs more to strip than the models are worth
Models glued together wrongly or with visible adhesive, which cannot be corrected without breaking them apart
Incomplete sprues missing components, since a unit that cannot be finished is worth far less than one that can
Missing rulebooks and transfer sheets from boxed sets, which buyers expect and which are awkward to source separately

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Photograph the sprues and count the components against what the box lists, because buyers need to know a kit is complete
Say clearly whether models are unbuilt, built, primed or painted — these are four different markets at four different prices
Note whether a range is still in production, since discontinued models are the part of the hobby with real scarcity

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used Warhammer worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. Warhammer resale runs opposite to most collectables in one respect: what a previous owner did with a paintbrush can raise the price or destroy it, and the difference is simply how well it was done. Each guide below says which Warhammer lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine Warhammer?

Photograph the sprues and count the components against what the box lists, because buyers need to know a kit is complete. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
