Hello fellow collectors
I used to gather Mithril miniature when I was younger (12 years ago) and I happen to recover from the depth of my attic a wood box containing some 90 loose but in good condition Mithril miniatures (as well as some boxes like the balrog), the ones I never actually had time to paint.
I am not the greedy kind and , to be honest I don't really have a clue of what's the current value of these miniatures.
On the other hand I certainly don't have the time (with three kids) to put these pieces individually on ebay or some other auction sites and I think it's tupid it rots here while some collectors might look after.
However I remember how important it is to collectors to find missing pieces.
So I would greatly appreciated advises on how to sell these easily as well as some kind of estimation of the value of the pieces.
To be honest I would like to sell the lot to one or two persons for their own use even if it means selling quite cheap compared to the actual value.
I am in France and can be contacted via these forums.
Thanks for your time, hopefully I didn't break any rules of these forums by asking this.
