Which of you is selling off your collection on ebay?

This list is impressive and I am jealous. I'm not asking price jealous but still.

"Incredible Dungeons and Dragons miniatures collection" is the title on ebay. $17.5K
No dupes - almost 2500 minis.

Not mine, but watching. If it goes for even half that price I'll put mine up the next day.

Not to wish bad on the person, but that is not the best way to make back some of their money on ebay. The price means it takes it out of most people's reach for a single blind purchase. And the re-sellers do not want to play top dollar for a collection they know they will need to break up and resell.

I do wish them the best.

I agree dafrca, he would be better off to auction each set individually. He also doesn't have a complete set of any of them.

It's still an impressive list.

Oh very impressive for sure. And he has a lot of the "good" miniatures collectors would want.

I broke a lot of 2000 into sets of 50.
Original DDM set, small to huge size

Pulled in about 7000. Took about 5 months.

list in the 2016 economy.

Huh...there are some very new minis in this set, so it seems like this person made a big decision very fast.
And with that high price....hate to think a fellow gamer is in trouble.

There have been a few dudes that I've known over the years that made a ploy at selling their collection/motorcycle/boat/etc. at the Mrs.' behest. I'm not saying this is one, but the "clever" trick they each seemingly independently arrived at was to ask a ridiculous price knowing that nobody would be that stupid (or on the off chance there is a dumb buyer with pockets that deep, ka-ching!). Then they tell the wife, "well, I tried, but it looks like the economy isn't good right now," or some other excuse to end up keeping said item. This dude's using tuition costs to justify his ask, but I doubt his kids will be enrolling at Emory unless he takes the time to break up and list smaller bites.

If you have that kind of money to buy a big collection, it makes a lot of sense.
Looks like this set has most of the great minis from the last 20 years of DDM PPM Icons

All that time i spent trying to hunt for deals to build a collection that i still cant really afford.... ya , if i had 17g to just buy everything all at once, i totally would have.
