Interesting tread feet on this converted Warhound Titan:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/40k-super-heavy-warhound-titan-/231632185277
I'm also super amused that his right arm is huge, but his left arm is a tiny little T-Rex arm in comparison.

I think we should really just keep this thread about odd tabletop wargaming/miniatures and such?

Stolen is the wrong term. When you stay at a hotel, you are given soap, conditioner, and lotion each day. Some hotels have other toiletries that they give, too. If, like me, you are allergic to that gak, you learn to bring your own. The stuff they give? Bring home and give to my wife for her trips or to keep in the guest bathroom in case a guest forgot to bring something. OR, you could just sell it. I tossed over 3 lbs of the stuff when I moved. On Topic: This actually seems like a nice find: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sisters-of-battle-immolator-oop-40k-/252050408227?hash=item3aaf600323 But $12.00 in shipping is a no go.

Pretty sure those listings are satire... Because I'm friends with him on Facebook, and he's a member of the high end MTG sales group, he's quite a real seller/collector in MTG. I guess you kinda have to know him to get the joke.

Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

Tell me about it. I used to have evidence my Aquila needed to be insured for £250 as part of my travel case. The amount I'd have to pay to replace it with a genuine one.
A recaster has been hammering them out in the UK out of pure greed and now they're going for £60-80
Try explaining to an insurance company about recast vs genuine.

I am honestly so conflicted.
I could buy a thunderhawk from china for $200 and sell it for $600 (as evidenced)
Or, I could buy a recast thunderhawk from ebay for $600, gamble that paypal will agree it is a forgery, refund my money and organise it "destroyed", thereby getting a free thunderhawk.
OR, I could not be a jerk to anyone.
I honestly think that I was destined to be batman, this kind of injustice just really bothers me. I wonder if that means I was supposed to kill my parents.

1) Just do the right thing! (You know what that is!)
2) Batman didn't kill his parents.
Unless...you're looking to 'create' Batman?!?

BUT WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING?!?!?!??!?
Surely letting people get ripped off isn't the right thing?
BUT MAYBE that dude was also ripped off? I hassled another seller on ebay who was selling recasted stuff and actually got the whole story out of him, someone sold him a bulk lot with all this recasted stuff and he was stuck - he didn't realise at the time, and seemed legitimate.
Maybe I am looking to create batman, maybe I am...

The bulk lot story is in a lot of recast sellers descriptions. I no longer believe anyone claiming it, especially those selling primed minis.
Here's a fun thing, that nobody will ever pay £50 for:

If you read the description, they openly admit it's a cast up headswap and unofficial.  Why on Earth would you charge over £20-30 for that?
