I am never really that impressed by people exploiting the market.
Over £27 for a £7 unit is profiteering at it's worse.

Is this guy also on the forums ??

Ah, don't be daft, it's just simple supply and demand. I just wish that I'd realised that these alternate units would go for so much before they disappeared as I would have got more than I have. As it is I have a small Kislev army, but I've no intention of parting with any of that as I still 'intend' to paint and play with it at some point.
There are plenty of WM units that I fancied getting that are no longer available, as and when I have an actual need to get hold of some (for example if I do paint my Kislev army, I'm going to need some more Winged Lancers...), then I'll just have to hope that someone is selling some on ebay and that the price isn't 'too' high...

Hey azrael, I'll keep em if they don't sell. Would you have preferred a listing for .99 starting? It'd end up at around the same price.

And yes, I'm also on the forums. But I'm happy not to let people here know of what I'm putting up on E-Bay.

So put them on at that and let the market dictate the price rather than jumping in feet first!
I have listed items on eBay before, no one has ever held a projectile weapon to my head demanding I post a high start price and surely it is in your interest to start it low so as to reduce listing fees?
As I said before profiteering.

In general I do that, though ebay recently changed policy such that the first 5 listings are free, no matter the start price. I'll grant you e-bay is increasingly a seller's market rather than a buyers market. I am frustrated with that reality as well.
Nevertheless, $45 and free shipping is, by my reckoning, a fair estimate of the market value -- I sold two other, painted phoenix guard for that amount last year (IIRC to different customers.) It could be said that the profiteering lies in grabbing Phoenix guard that go for below that rate -- or some rate unknown.
And who knows, maybe you'll be glad that I overestimated the going price (or underestimated my willingness to part with them) -- it'll mean that they're still on sale when you happen to need them.
And certainly I'd be glad to see you buy them: I know they'd have found a good home.

Dude, I hope you get the market value for them.
I didn't realise Ebay had changed their listing costs.
As for me buying I already have a set in my High Elf army.

I have to appreciate a very diplomatic closing argument.
