Andrea Miniatures FAQ

I have a copy of the book and was thinking about putting up for sale and I'm seeing ridiculous prices listed online, near $200.

I guess it's out of print, but is it really that big of a deal?

I've just checked on Abe Books and there are two listed in the USA one at £238 and the other £363.......to be honest this is Bullshit , so many dealers on these sites just fly a Kite. I bet if you contacted them and offered yours for £100 they wouldn't buy it. I did this once on a book I have that a guy was asking silly money for and didn't even get a reply LOL.

If I were you I would put on Ebay for a £30 start and let it find it's own level-advertise that you have done it on the Market here and see how it goes.

Thanks, I thought as much.

I have a library of JJ Fedorowicz titles and some are OOP, one listed for $800 for years on some sites and mentioned across the web as 'a must snap up if found for $300'. I tried selling it for $160 (New it was $100) and no interest.

When I picked up the brushes again last week I flipped through the FAQ and to be honest I wasn't overly impressed, there's more info here. The photos in the back are nice, but otherwise I don't think I'll be using it. In my effort to declutter, I decided to put it up on eBay (I was thinking around $10) and went to check what new copies sell for, then I saw all the prices and that it was OOP or at least the English version is. I didn't realize how much I paid for it, so even if it was in print, $10 was a bit too low, the book is pristine, never read until I looked to see how to paint hair and beards and again, not overly impressed with their info, it certainly wasn't something I wouldn't have thought of myself.
