its worth noting that you can block certain bidders bidding on your items , please everbody try to do this so they dont fall into the hands of an unscrupulous dealer


Brilliant in it's simplicity...


Of course they can just buy under a different id.The prices they are paying for items is rising swsnbn just bought ES for £21 and biklinictoo just bought 28 metal cd inc two commands for £56(a good deal there)
Some lots (those bid on by volmacsweden and rotcivitbat) are going astronomically high but they obviously cant wait and are capable of painting there figures very quicklyShock

Hi thats me bidding on that with gf id(he and the lord leaning on axe are the two 5th ed i neeeeedBig Grin)I made my own sorc as i refuse to pay more than £10 for these so am waiting for the day.Swsnbn usually snipes at last mo she won two recently for £10.49 and £8.49(daytime auction i was at work and gf forgot to snipe it) so they can go lowRespect to the Hat![/i]
Thats cool as i believe when i come to need it i will get itRespect to the Hat!
I am doing an analysis of the buying activity of certain buyers at the moment so i notice nearly all ebay restocking of their shopsCheers!
I ve have seen her buy 3rd ed warmachines before but i would think marauder dwarfs sell like cd comm/heros im surprised she had not done so earlierRespect to the Hat!

biklinictoo is a guy from lincs who runs warhammer-crazy . swnsnbm runs theessexgirl's shop they are two different people . canix i thought you said your last buy from me completed your collection, the way you talk about stuff it sounds like you are planning on a bit of trading too, if thats the case i cant continue to sell you cheap models if your just going to sell them on at a profit its not fair!


Hey Shocki have a few plastic bighats and a taurus spare but i am not going to trade i will sell them cheap here or ebay.I have an interest in chaos dwarfs an will probably post an article on the analysis of ebay tradersRespect to the Hat! i have not played sorc heavy games yet might give it a goTakes Hat off i am more an obsessive collector tho will sell many old things i haveBig Grin
Insanitybite is driving up 3rd ed prices Karld,moanchi and othersyou gerbiljim? always have to bid high to buy certain minis , i havent yet finished my 3rd ed collection that will take many years and too much moneyRolleyes

Looks bleak at mo for 3rd marauders i dont really want to pay more than  £4 apart from some like mage bet the bids come in at end but because everything finishes at the same time some could be won unless his high bid is atronomicalShock
Yes i saw that one go i have those already, good buy for the marauders looks like theres alot more renegades on ebayRespect to the Hat!
The german ebayer neles has just listed another load of marauders no mage this timeRespect to the Hat!

i painted this dude and sold him for a tenner to this seller and he has more than doubled it and is selling it on in his store - this is one of the reasons why i hate these people so much!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...osi_widget

Hi there just wonder what ebay id was of buyer does he buy as battle-zone or someone elseWink

Its very interesting because the quantity of CD bought by Biklinictoo is huge i have been recoding sales to him and essexgirl over last three months.The items for sale in warhammer -crazy's shop dont corralate with biklinictoo's purchases so he may have other outlets or be stockpiling huge quantities,most lots he wins are very cheap but he sometimes pays more .Because he has a set limits on what he pays and bids on everything it is extremely rare for anyone to win anything cheaper than his restock priceRespect to the Hat!
Essex girl won her first lot for 3 weeks today 8 plastic cd for £4.99 the only item Biklinictoo didnt outbid her onRespect to the Hat!
$11.71 each including the mage and xbowman that go for $40 each not bad i reckon if i didnt have most of them and there were less doubles i would have bought themWink
We love the Ebay shops just dont buy from them.
Nothing wrong with what they do ,but we dont have to like it,Biklinic too actually dictates prices for CD 4/5th ed lots because he bids for them all and has a set minimum for each type of item.While not wrong that means he actually dictates the prices lots sell for.
This does not include large army lots as he doesnt bid on those?even tho thats the way to buy at a reasonable priceRespect to the Hat!
Collectors sometimes we will pay ridiculous pricesRolleyes,i have had members of this site snipe bid me but i can't feel anything emotional about it the real world fullfills that roll well enoughRespect to the Hat!
So i am never bothered because i also know i can take my time collecting as i have thousands of unpainted lead minis (like most of us looniesBig Grin) so it not like i cant keep myself occupiedRespect to the Hat!

Key word to that statement is "used to", unfortunately hobgoblin prices (as noted above) have been increasing in price now as well.

i shall have to sell my spares look out for them on the market place soon Respect to the Hat!
