I don't believe it!
« on: July 08, 2010, 04:19:46 PM »
A large high elf army just got snatched up on US ebay for a measily $100.
More unbelievable is the fact in contained 2 units of dragon princes.
Damn ebay for not letting me log in to buy it  >:( >:( :'(

So someone just got a free army or they don't what those princes are worth :0

I saw the auction but passed it by because I already have High Elves.  Silly me!  ::)

I too have a massive high elf army, but you would have easily sold the army minus alts for thr same price.
That was how I got my chaos sorcerors :)

Don´t cry....an opportunity like this will come again....beleave me.

If you are patient you will see it come again.
I got my Dragon princess units and Swordmasters that way.....also I got a unit of Phönix guard for $10,- as they werde described as "Spearmen unit with Halberds" ...so no one were checking.

Sit back....check e-bay ....and wait. There will be other opportunities.

I did not bid myself on this as it´s to much and I did not want having to handle all that staff (customs, reselling in pieces...etc.) allthough it were a very good price but you never know what the maximum price of the lucky guy would have been....so take it as a man and wait for next chance ;)

Cheers

 :) Don't worry, I am :)
I am very very close to completing my collection and that is why I get so passionate about it :)
I too got some phoenix guard & swordmasters cheap after the seller listed them as buy it now for £5.
As for mislisted items,I got dwarf hammerers as "warhammer dwarf ornaments... I think!" and knights of the white wolf as dwarven knights :)

It could be worse, I could be trying to get a 3k kislev force together ;)

It was a "buy it now." I've gotten most of my good deals snapping up buy it nows -- less luck finding mis-labeled units.... uh... that's not entirely true, there was a White Wolf cav that I recognized by the pic.

The zeppelin or the airship?
Either way cheaper than original retail and one of the best forgeworld WM pieces to boot.

The zeppelin. It was sold 300$ two or three weeks before.
