Title: The most expensive wm unit EVER!
Post by: azrael71 on March 09, 2010, 09:34:52 PM: As some of you may know I monitor wm activity on the uk version of eBay.
The rare units fetch handsome prices, swordmasters & phoenix guard levelling out at around Â£26 with the very rare dragon princes going for around Â£35 (I know cause I called it a day at Â£30).
So when the empire teutogen guard (one of the few rare units I don't own) came up the other day I watched them with interest.

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw they had fetched what you can pay for a decent 2k chaos army ??? ??? ???

So if any of you out there has a pack or two spare, looks like now is the time to cash in. ;D

I sold a unit of Dragon Princes for $125 USD. I was floored.

For a while I was getting $40 for a unit of Dark Elf Corsairs, and I seemed to keep getting the odd unit from different trades.

Sometimes I wonder about making a living just trading on eBay.

I had a source at one point for certain units and even after shipping them across the pond it was still paying for my new armies :)
Just a shame my source dried up and the ones I still need are ULTRA rare :(

Perhaps he just sold one and paid for the rest of his empire army ;)

It seemed like a good and viable option to me, as I am happy to pay double for those units I still need to complete my collection.

Post by: Claus on March 10, 2010, 04:24:54 PM: Probably I will sell my 2 units also on e-bay..... ::)

Who need shares and the stock market....buy Teutogen guards and you get 1000% profit in 2-3 years ;D

I now wish I had ordered 15 of each!!!!! I have since managed to pick up 2 units of knights of the white wolf on e bay for approx Â£20 each.

*(the mail order troll claimed I was lucky because it was the last ever blister to leave the factory)

I know this should probably go in the trade section but I would be willing to trade a knights panther and a blazing sun if anyone had a couple of regiments of high elf dragon princes - straight swap?

I intend to paint up 2 regiments of each of the 4 types of Empire cavalry eventually for my 3K Empire army.
