Sadly, I am letting go of most of my Warmachine collection (leaving some Cryx in hopes for a revival in the future). The biggest part of it is a huge army nicely and coherently painted, with a lot of conversions, detailed bases, just unique labour of love. I don't give any specifics as I don't want this post to look like an advert and deleted  I ask for advice, not offers.
I am located in Poland and I do not think I can find good buyers here (as Warmachine is in sharp decline, and here apparently almost dead) but I keep hearing stories about collectors from abroad paying top dollar for beautiful armies. I don't want top dollar but I also don't want to sell such a beautiful army for the price of unpainted junk.
Also, you know, my and a US person's perception of $$$ may vary 
I set up an eBay account hoping it can do the job for me but I can see how someone can be reluctant to pay a solid sum of money to some random guy from Central Europe with a brand new account.
I also started a thread on Dakka. A lot of views, but 0 answers (Dakka is mostly about GW games).
Any other advice on how to reach a buyer who will appreciate the work that went into the army?

You're gonna have to be on facebook market place probably. I sold my flames army inside of 2 weeks on facebook for the price I was asking (ironically to a guy in the EU).

Could you send a link to such an international group? I don't have a FB account but my wife does. I'll ask her to post my offer there.
Thanks!

Unfortunately it is proving to be quite difficult to even put an offer, not to mention to actually sell the army. ABay seems to have some limits which disallow me from listing the army at the price I would like to get. And my wife put an offer on the international trading group on FB ... and after almost 2 weeks the offer still hasn't been given green light. |

Iv been looking to massively downsize my WM/H collection and moving away from it as my main game. My experience is unless you have any of the new hotness, selling all the basic, standard stuff is almost pointless. Unless you have something that is top level pro painted, you will be getting pennies on the pound for your models and its often not worth the cost of postage and effort of wrapping things for shipping.
Iv just decided to stick much of my unused collection in my loft and hope that community changes and the game and the company recovers in some format. If not it will stay there.
Sad really. :-(
