Because the site and board respects GWs IP. Its a lot more complicated than 'I cant find miniature x and I want some'.

he just bought one unit of Knights of the White Wolf...

And guess who is selling Knights of the White wolf now ?

Figs full of barbs and clearly not corresponding to any KotWW i have ever seen.

Please, report him on ebay as a recaster.

Just looks like flashing to me.
That is what comes on all models. Have you ever seen how GW send out these models?
Again does not prove he is recasting. You are turning this into a bit of a witch hunt  :(

He just bought one unit of those knights few weeks ago... And now, he would resell it ? With all the doubts we have against him ?

We will see if he sells some others in the next few month. As said, i have no more doubts for a long time now.

And yes, i will continue to charge him. About your actions to support him, i will just say there are no worst blinded men than those who don't want to see.

I don't support this guy, I  have never bought an item off him.
But the people who have, have left positive feedback on eBay. If they were such poor 'copies' if that is what they are then why don't the people who pay way over the odds for the items in question complain, if they are 'copies'?

You have NO actual evidence.
Just circumstantial evidence.

As for being blind... I have had these models and sold them all on at a profit, I say the kid is providing rare models to a community that struggles to find them as the owner refuses to re-release them. If people want to pay 10 to 20 times what they originally cost then that is THEIR choice.
If only there weren't so many collectors out there, who buy the rare stuff and then just keep it and hope it will increase in value,  the actual players who want these units to finish their forces would not have to pay exorbitant and over inflated prices.

And this is a good reason to sell copies as originals ?

As i already said, if he would sell them as recasts, it would be a perfect solution for everybody, except him, for prices would go down, as you say. He makes money by duping us. No more and no less.

Not every collectors hope the value of there collection will increase. For my part, i'm happy i have approx all the stuff i wanted. I seldom bid on anything today. Like the fw others collectors i know, who are now in the same situation.

But prices have increased, not lowered ! Don't charge people when you just don't know what they do.

Isn't that what you are doing?

eBay is not interested in anything other then profit, how many times have you reported him? How many times have they removed his listings?
If you wish to shut this guy down, you should contact GW, who have supported this great game for the past 10 years! ::)

Was it a full pack? - I thought it was only 1 strip per stand, but the photo was that bad I couldn't tell.

Is good that prices go down a little bit. Good for the one who can grab it. I am sure a lot of people have enough pheonix guard and do not need to fight for a price between 40 - 100 E for a unit.

So it is good going for what you need not for everything. Just my opinion, I know, I know... the offer and demand, savage speculation, freedom of spirit, black card grandpas and furious capitalisim and so on, I can live with all of these.
