Are they currently available? The supply from Forgeworld is very patchy, they have stocks when they decide to run up a batch but often there are none. These epic titans do sell at a high price when unavailable and yes, £30-40 each it not unheard of.

Yep, because a saved template saves time ( especially sometimes i want my auctions to end back to back, not 5 minutes apart )
because if you have like 20 related stuff to sell, thats 1 hour and 40 mins.
Ya im the mean type of seller, i put them almost simultaneously to make it harder for people to snipe xD
thus increasing the bid they have to win

Take what you "think" i said, ONE step further.
See, you assume that people that uses esnipe is the people I create the auction for.
No. the people that will pay higher price will be the ones that will attempt to offer "a higher than esnipe bid" just to win.

Well it sure works for me.
e.g recently i sold half of my sisters of battle when the WD codex came out.
Made enough money for 4k Ogre kingdom army, sold the left over extra O.Gs
and now i have enough for new 2k Necron army.

I've actually had this one explained by an Amazon seller before: It's a listing to let people know they have it, but they're not quite sure what the final price they'll be charging is.

To be fair, he "might" be like me.
e.g I want to buy something but dont want extra 12% shipping fee.
So i'll pick something popular till it adds to 250 GBP for the free shipping lol

I hate misleading ebay....
One good example i remember getting into a fight about was " Ork Green Tide"
the seller used a stock picture of GW Apocalypse Green Tide bundle ( which was Ork boy box sets )
while the ork he sold was AOBR ones.
I mean you guys understood the problem with it right away right?

What's misleading there? He very clearly states that you're buying a single component. It doesn't appear to be any more misleading than any of the other multiple choice auctions allowed by eBay's newer formatting changes.

I was trying to find out how much Asarnil the Dragonlord goes for, as I was seeing if someone wanted to buy mine, and found this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120781407979#ht_742wt_952 - That seems just a touch...generously priced.

I don't find that misleading in the slightest. You have to select a part from the drop down menu in order to actually buy something - so it's not like you can mistakenly buy it while thinking you'll get the whole thing. It clearly says Torso, etc

Good for you.
I sussed it out straight away as well, but nearly every one of his ads has a photo showing more than you actually get, like it or not that is misleading, no matter what the text says.

He originally listed it for $200. There were a couple threads on that ebay auction alone. No doubt he got a lot of attention off it.
