A big aspect of selling tabletop gaming products is providing customers a place to play. There were times I had 30+ people simultaneously playing on 6+ tables. The absolute value of the armies being played was easily in 6 figures.
The totality of the terrain is the result of dozens, if not hundreds of hours of work between forming, modeling, and painting. I'm loathe to throw that much work in the trash when there are people playing on green tablecloths with books stacked under them.
Some of the terrain I'm selling. Some I'm giving away for the cost of shipping. After 25 years, frankly, I'm sick to death of it. At some point, I'll probably sell the armies, too.
