I'm looking to pick up one or more unseen mechs - Battlemaster, Warhammer, Wolverine, etc. and am curious what a reasonable price is to expect to pay for one.  Assume that for this discussion the mech is in reasonably good shape, but would need to have the current paint job stripped off.

If pricing discussions aren't really appropriate for the board, just let me know and send comments by PM.  Thanks!

With a sweep of his...

Hey if you find that out let me know as well. I have been wanting a warhammer.

The first place that I would try is Lords of the Battlefield. Post on there what you are looking for and you may get some hits. Most are reasonable with their pricing. Also, while there go to BV Traders and see what they have for sale. Very reasonable and great service. Short of that, go to ebay and check prices. Unseen $20 to $30. Make sure they are not a guy that has 3 pics and they are primed. They are fakes. If you really want to be sure, buy them still in the package.

Hey, anything is appropriate for this board, it's not official!  (^_^)b

Of the three you mentioned, you should be able to get them for around $20 each:

Most of the unseen are in this price range, although the smaller sculpts like Wasp and Stinger usually are less, and your most expensive sculpts are the LAMs, Griffin, Marauder, and Shadowhawk.

Like has been mentioned, you just really have to watch out for repros. Lords of the Battlefield has a list of ebay names of repro sellers, and it's also worth carefully checking a seller's purchase history and comments before committing.

Edit: If you do decide to buy some from eBay, I've had good success with this guy: http://www.ebay.com/sch/duhengineering/m.html?item=400581117197&pt=Games_US&hash=item5d447ec50d&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

He's got quite a few unseen listed right now. As far as I know, he doesn't ever list repros.
