Buying Collections to Resell to Scapers
Hi all,
Hope you’re all doing well and staying safe and healthy! It’s come to my attention that it is getting harder and harder for newer players to get into the game, thanks to a rise in prices. Sellers like AllThingsHeroscape are scalping this wonderful community. If you are looking to get out of the game AND want your collection in the hands of people who will enjoy it, feel free to reach out to me. I’ve always been on the low end of prices since the Sales and Trades Subforum started in 2013. I’ve completed over 70 good sales and trades. I will make sure your collection is pieced out fairly to people who want to play this game. Yes, I will make a little money off this. No, I’m not doing this for the money. Quite frankly, I’m not in a position where I need the money (I’m currently employed). I am simply trying to help build this community. Please PM me with any questions.

Re: Buying Collections to Resell to Scapers
Thanks. I remember buying a few lots back in the day (6-7 years ago) to build my collection. If I were to sell out of the game, I’d want my pieces going to people who will use them, rather than people looking to make money.
Say hi to Brad! I’m sad we’re not getting to see you guys this year at GenCon, but it’s for the best. Hope you’re well! Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Yeah. I wish it was different, but what are you going to do.
Hi to your dad. I'm glad to read that you have a job. |

Re: Buying Collections to Resell to Scapers
It’s just a secretarial and odds-and-ends job for the attorney my dad works with, but it does the trick. I found out today that law school will be online for the first semester. I kind of figured it would be online. Three years until I have a real job (that isn’t retail or secretarial, lol. Not that there’s anything wrong with those jobs, but I’m looking forward to working for myself.)

Re: Buying Collections to Resell to Scapers
PLEASE, I hope people will take you up on this. This is a very real issue. Also, have you considered bidding and trying to "Save" eBay sales that are going super high to the "scalpers" - as you say?
I know eBay is a lot harder to compete with, but it's just a thought cause I'm not sure just how much traction you'll get here since this is something I feel like you'd really need to "Market" to get the word out ya know? idk, maybe I could mention it on my YouTube channel...hmmm Sir Heroscape's Content

Re: Buying Collections to Resell to Scapers
Unless people pretty much give you their scape, you cant "mark it up" that much without being in a similar bracket as the other sellers. If they dont give it to you for wholesale and you keep it lower, I doubt that it will be worth your while at all. The answer here is 3d printing. Supply and demand. If no one is paying the insane prices, prices will come down to meet the market. I know your heart is in the right place, but dont think adding a middleman is the answer to the scalping problem. Reguardless, I wish you luck in your quest.
Edit: not trying to be a downer here, just keeping it real. Check out my ebay where you can find my custom dice trays and dicetowers: https://www.ebay.com/usr/captainamazing_jerdo |

As for 3D printing, while it’s a nice sentiment, most people won’t do it. It won’t really make an impact on pricing on eBay. Edit: sorry if this came off a little harsh. Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: Buying Collections to Resell to Scapers
College is fun. Law school sucks. But I've had a good career and I love my job, so I'm not complaining about where it's led. Next year, as you say.
