Hrrm, is this guy a recaster? Squinting at all his models and wondering why he has so many of them still on sprues / untouched by paint with no bases...

But by having a silly price you get closer to the free shipping cost sooner... that's worth it, right?  ::)

I wonder how much of it is the same people speculating on it and just buying from each other constantly driving up the price?

Wow. On the positive side they are in good condition. Maybe you can contact the seller with a more reasonable offer and he may reconsider once it's been around for a while? He still probably wants an above average offer, or may set your asking price as the lowest bid in an auction.

Free advertising! Sweet haha.

On a serious note I actually got lucky and managed to pick up a second Emporer dragon/maiden! Which is why this one is now up for sale (I paid a pretty penny for it).

I'll be posting a bunch of my extra stuff up on ebay over the next few days. I've accumulated 5000+ pts in Chaos/high elves/dwarfs so most of it will be that stuff. But I will have some rarer stuff mixed in mainly my extra daemons and brets.

Feel free to shoot me a PM and make an offer, I'm in no rush to sell this stuff, but may consider lowing prices (or adding make an offer) if they don't sell over the next little bit.

Key word is "some". Lots of good deals to be had like 4 units of high elf spearmen for $30 or a unit of chaos knights for $15.

I don't blame ToM for trying to get the most money for his stuff- who wouldn't? It's pretty much the entire reason for eBay.

More on topic:

There was a heap of stuff I was wanting from this seller, but all of the prices went mad- this was probably just the worst case.

Bunch of lizardmen appeared between £20 and £40 a shot.  Was very tempted by the Terradons or Cavalry but they evaporated overnight.

Yeah. Prices have already long ago left the sphere of common sense. It is a seller's market not a buyer's market.

People have the right to sell at ANY price they want to.

Not pointing fingers here but the only thing I have a problem with is "if" someone uses tons of gaming forums to feign interest in Warmaster and buy from the communities and then forward those minis straight on to Ebay for huge prices to make a pretty penny.
I can't stop that practice but it certainly is something I am not fond off.
