I will be interested in trading also in march when everything comes in. Most likely trading the Nova, Zombie hunters and some of the Marines 1 for 1 for some of the vermin pack and orcs
Want:
2 Scorpians
2 Beetles
6 orcs from orcapolypse (or the ones from the regular vampire pack, called black orcs)
(so far...will update this later)
(ps, new to reaper forums so still figuring out configurations)

Jason- I got a trade posted on the spreadsheet. Let me know if there is something you would prefer to get besides the Eye Beast and I will look at it. Thanks!

Ok, going to try this a little different for me as this is getting a little confusing to try and keep up with. So, I have created a google spreadsheet for me, with all my want to gets and want to trades. All you have to do is look at the list, and if you have something I want and I something you want marked as trading, then put your user id in the appropriate spots and reserve it. This will be on a 1:1 ratio of models and I will of course be updating the list everytime the vampire package updates.
Here is the link:
https://docs.google....N1BKbHh0aDZ2VXc
I will do my best to protect cells as people put their claim on things so that others dont over write them. Obviously cant promise I can catch every minute but i will check multiple times per day til the KS ends.
I put several trades to your spreadsheet. Please let me know if there is something you don't want to trade.

Hi
I'm based in Australia (so more likely to trade with others in the region) but am wanting to trade:
* Sophie
* Marines
* Nova people
* Chronoscope (except for a couple of the characters - witch being the main one)
* Zombie hunters
What I would love to trade for:
* elves
* dark elves
* some of the larger things (dragons etc)
- Will probably look at this more closely when I actually have stuff in hand though

I'm looking to trade my Sophie and several other minis. I'm afraid your other stated wants are pretty vague. My list of have/wants is on page one. Also: remember they gave the option to swap your sophie for $3.I am looking for several more Pimp minis and the birthday suite KS Sophie mini.
I am willing to part with most any of the basic vampire level minis with only a few exceptions (Chronoscopes and clothed Sophie being some of the exceptions).
I got a popup saying I got a message but there's nothing under personal messenger. Am I looking in the wrong spot?

I LIVE IN CANADA AND WOULD PREFER SHIPPING WITHIN THE COUNTRY - Also willing to ship to the U.S
Currently have 2x Vampire packs ordered. Looking to trade my:
1) Chronoscope ($11)
2) IMEF Marines ($6)
3) NOVA Marines ($5)
4) Zombie Hunters ($4)
Total value - $26
I have 2 copies of all these available as well. So a total value of $52. Also willing to trade the clothed Sophie.
Willing to accept a lot of the other things - some of the larger minis would be great, or something you don't want from your Vampire packs.
EDIT: Specific wants...
Large Scale
1) Literally any of the large scale options available ($10 or $15 each)
This would be most preferable to me! I'm happy to pick specifics if you want to just add them to your order!
I am willing to take the loss in dollar value on this transaction.
Normal Size
2) "We Be Goblins" ($9)
3) "Bedevilled" ($5)
4) "BBEG" ($5)
5) "Dark Elves" ($4)
6) "Fighters" ($4)
7) "Orcpocalypse" pack ($25) - Willing to accept a portion of the pack for less cost
8) "Fire it up" ($5)
9) "Haunts" ($6)
10) "Vermin (2 of each)" ($10)
11) "Hell Hound" from the Mummy pack ($1 each)
12) "Lizard Man /w Spear" from the Mummy pack ($1 each)
13) "Oxidation Beast" from the Mummy pack ($1 each)

Just a little friendly advice to think about when trying to trade KS items:
There are two types of value; absolute, and relative.
This of course refers to what the item actually costs, as opposed to how much you want it. It is important to remember that everyone has (roughly) the same absolute value for items, but the relative value can vary wildly. Understanding how the person you are trying to trade feels about the relative value of your item and their item is as important as understanding your own valuations.
The easiest and most successful trades are where both sides feel like they've come out ahead.
This relates back to valuation. If both sides can agree on a deal that results in each receiving something they percieve to have a higher relative value, then the trade is likely.
Zero-sum trades rarely work, unless it is convenient for both sides.
When there is nothing to be gained (or lost) in a trade, there is little reason to perform the trade. However, if the two sides are equally apathetic about the items offered for trade, a swap can still happen if it is convenient.
So what does all this mean? Well, let's look at the items from the KS project, from the perspective of a Vampire pledge (since it is the minimum necessary to qualify for the stretch goal items).
Dungeon Attack figures: These are included in the Vampire pledge, but they can also be had for a pledge of $15. Everyone at Vampire gets a set, as do all the Ghast pledges. Plus, they will be (some are already) available in retail. This makes them common, and gives them an absolute value of $15 in the KS. Their relative value is lower, because they are only part of the larger Vampire deal.
30 new figures: These are also included in the Vampire pledge, but can also be had for a pledge of $60. Everyone at Vampire gets a set, as do all the Mummy pledges. Plus, they will be available in retail. This makes them common, and gives them an absolute value of $60 in the KS. Their relative value is lower, because they are only part of the larger Vampire deal.
Sophie/Urban Legend Sophie: Included in the Vampire pledge, but available for $25/28 pledge as well. Everyone at Vampire gets one, as do the Wraith/Ghost pledges. They are only available during the KS project, so this makes them rare. Her absolute value during the KS is $25/$28.
Free add-ons*: Included in all Vampire pledges, but available for purchase at varying amounts (basically, $1/fig, $2/fig if medium sized). They will be available in retail. This makes them common, and gives their absolute value is based directly on their add-on cost. Their relative value is lower, because they are only part of the larger Vampire deal.
Paid add-ons (including adding other pledge levels to the initial pledge): Available to varying pledge levels, all of these items are projected to be available retail as well. They are therefore common, and their absolute value is their pledge cost.
Based on this, you will find it a hard sell to get someone to swap their paid add-ons for your freebie add-ons, as the freebies are also available for purchase. If I really want a second set of Fire It Up and the Undead Horde, it doesn't make much sense for me to buy a Clockwork Dragon and trade it to you for your two sets straight up. It's a great deal for you, but I could just have easily spent the $15 to buy those two sets as add-ons instead. It's a zero-sum deal for me, which only works if it is convenient. If you were in my local game group and I see you often, then yeah, the trade makes more sense. But if you aren't, shipping the dragon to you (and waiting for you to ship the figures to me) is inconvenient. It's little different than trading one paid add-on for another; why would you buy Ebonwrath and ask to trade her for Deathsleet? You wouldn't; you'd just buy Deathsleet at the same price instead. You can find value, however, in trading *parts* of paid sets (i.e. swapping your Rauthuros for someone else's Agramon, etc.).
I made a successful trade earlier this week for someone else's Sophie. To me, the relative value is high; I'm a collector, and I want to have at least one of each sculpt. To the person trading with me, her relative value was lower; he didn't want the figure. In return, I offered a limited edition miniature outside of the KS project, something I had as an extra in my case. As an extra, it had relatively lower value for me; for the trade partner, it was something he did not have and could not easily get, so the relative value was high for him. Both sides come out ahead in relative value, and we're both happy.
Good luck to everyone in their trading.

Vince I wish more people understood what you just posted in the secondary miniatures market. This explains why you can't just sell figures for what you bought them for.
2013 Painting Goal: 36 Figures/ 9 Painted as of 05/21/2013
For other Wargame and miniature related stuff you can read my blog at http://tacticalrock.blogspot.com
Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?

I'm afraid I don't know the name for him, but in the Bones original set there is a wizard with a dragon head staff that we'd like an extra of.
Also, before I put in the order for it, would anyone be interested in trading for the red dragon from the red/shadow dragon set?
Expect a reply from me after we order this weekend. I need to check with our group, but we may want to trade some bugs for the harpy. How many of your desired minis do you want for nude Sophie?

I currently have a possible trade for her for the goblins, dark elves, undead horde, & Fire it up. I'll let you know if it goes through.
