PaintedTabletop gives collectors a focused marketplace for finished miniatures: verified creators, grading language, auction formats, saved searches, and escrow-backed order flow.
General marketplaces are built for anything, which means miniature buyers have to decode lighting, paint standard, kit condition, basing, proxies, shipping risk, and seller reliability on their own. PaintedTabletop makes the listing format match the hobby: faction filters, model counts, grade tags, seller tiers, photo requirements, watchlists, and disputes if the order is not as described.
Buy-now listings are best for ready-to-ship squads, armies, characters, and display pieces with clear fixed pricing.
Auctions support reserve and buyout thinking for rare armies, high-demand painters, and competitive collector lots.
Commission requests connect buyers with painters for army expansions, new detachments, and matching paint schemes.
