OMFG Thats outrageous!!!!! And to think I was going to bid on that Taurus...
yes then two NIB CD Whirlwind and tenderiser go for £32 go figure.
The taurus going for £49 was a shock
he could of bought one from essexgirl or warhammer-crazy for less than that
Yeah I was surprised by that too. Just a couple of weeks ago the whirlwind by itself went for 59.99 US.
The funny thing is if GW does release new models the bottom falls out of the market for CDs on eBay for 4th and 5th edition models. Why do I say this? Simple. Tall hat CDs were never that popular when they were originally available. Relatively speaking, there are large amounts of the 4th and 5th edition models that are still available, either on eBay or from GW. If the 4th and 5th edition models were, they would have sold better when they were an "active army" and had more support from GW and White Dwarf then they do now. I don't believe that there are tons of other people out there buying heavily into these auctions for the sole purpose of starting Chaos Dwarf armies, or there would be a ton more activity here or on HoH then we are currently seeing. Rather a couple of things are at work here:
1) A small number of collectors are buying the older models (I.e. 3rd edition) stuff.
2) eBay "sellers" are driving up prices and hoping to get 3 to 5 times what they won at auction.
3) Those that truly are collectors are more general, perhaps trying to get those models they couldn't as a kid. As such; prices for the truly rare stuff, anything 3rd or earlier is unlikely to go down in either demand or price.
To sum up I don't think/believe this is a true sign of pent up demand for Chaos Dwarfs as an army (despite our wishes to the contrary). To me it seems to be a case of opportunistic eBay vultures circling around hoping to extort all those they can.
My 2 cents YMMV.
Wow, you ain't kiddin'. I just saw 2 units of 15 of the plastic tallhat warriors for $50US each. and 2 units of 12 blunderbusses for the same. This is absolutely gouging!
Wow 100.00 for a taurus thats a rip off . But they only want 4.95 to mail it
Most of the time the mailing price is outragest.
You should just try and convert your own , saves on money and will most definetly look good , go for it!!
What a flippin Bastard! (Not Hobgoblin mind you) Has she actually sold 4 BC for 80 quid?
- Tallhat
Yep it is insane, her pricing that is.
i guess people pay extra to get them still in the blister . i know where about 20 are for sale in the blister for around £12 but i dont think its worth it . they should be under a tenner ! my shops going well sold some more stuff this week hopefully swsnbm and warhammer crazy's business is starting to dry up a little
Thats twice what they go for on ebay
Some fool will probably buy it
wow thats suxs 100.00 f -that.
Sad thing is that hobbos are now in this price spiral as well...
Well, it may make me the minority, but the plastic warrior glue onto the centaur body aside, they work out to 20 a piece.
When you consider that my Orc boar boys cost me around that each, it doesn't strike me as too expensive.
Sure, they are second hand, but at that price they are comparable to current heavy cavalry costs (at least here in australia).
With three days to go I'm sure they will go for more then this...
