Pretty much what's the best deal lately you've gotten on warhammer, warmachine, infinity, etc etc.

I just snagged today off a local used site a current space marine codex, 10 tac marines, and a librarian all new in box (Still plastic wrapped, including the codex!) for $30 CAD!!

What have you got lately at a good deal used or new?!?!

**Waaagh 18**

I got about 700 bucks of AMAZINGLY painted orks on ebay for 310 dollars. I'm still partially in shock...

**thebarnet**

I got a Metal SW Dreadnought and a load of 2nd ed/space crusade mini's for £5 From a Charity shop

**Vermis**

Currently waiting on several 99p bids of multiple LoTR Orcs.

Sometimes, just sometimes, I love that daft 'dead game' mentality.

**jonolikespie**

About 5 blisters of ork ships from Battlefleet Gothic for $15 NiB each (I believe that was the retail value when they where sold, sure as hell wasn't when the s tuff was going out of stock though, GW hasn't sold anything that cheap in Oz in years),

**Hanskrampf**

FFG Deathwatch books from Ebay for 5-10€ per book in nearly perfect condition.

**master of ordinance**

£20 for 21 old one piece HE spearmen without shields, 21 old one piece HE archers, 35 old one piece Night Goblin archers, 1 old Spear Goblin, 6 old Snotlings and 5 old one piece Orc Archers.

Not bad if I do say so myself

**Grimtuff**

Found a plastic Balrog in a model shop for £10.

Yes, I went and swapped it at GW for it's RRP of product....

[/confession bear]

**Slaanesh-Devotee**

My mother called me from a flea market, asking if I collected 'Eldar?'

I spoke to the guy over her phone and he listed:
A Falcon, a Wraithlord, 10 Dire Avengers, 5 Warp Spiders, 4 Dark Reapers, 20 Guardians with 2 Grav platforms, a Farseer, 6 Harlequins and a few Howling Banshees.

I asked what he wanted for the lot. He said $70. I got mum to buy them.

That's about $60 US.

Edited to add:
I always forget the parts! A few Fantasy orcs and all the pieces that came with the Eldar. A very old Hive Tyrant and Zoanthrope and about thirty gene stealers and thirty Termagants.

Included with that price.

**Fifty**

I got an Industrial Battlezone for £25 yesterday, in near mint condition.

That means I now how have the equivalent of three full Necromundas of plastic bulkheads, and card-stock for two Necromumdas. I just spent this evening making new card bits out of cereal boxes - that is one building done so far, as I am copying the originals.

As I am moving in with my girlfriend and this stuff all folds down pretty flat, it should be pretty useful as terrain.

**Eilif**

I scored the original metal Fellowship of the ring "Fellowship" boxed set, MISB for $15.

Last year a friend and I each put $20 in and bought a huge bin of lead from a dealer for $40. We each took out 45 miniatures for ourselves and then I stripped and sold the rest. After recouping our investment, covering the cost of chemicals and a small payment for my effort we still each pocketed about $60!
45 free figs and $60 cash is what I call a deal!

I've also bought a ridiculous number of GW and PP figs for $1-2 each at FLGS auctions and flea markets. It's pretty much how I finance most of my hobby.

My best deals may be the resale shop toys that I turn into 20mm terrain. I've got a 4 story Parking garage that became a necro-munda'ish tower and a huge elevated train station that each cost me less than $3!

**Trondheim**

I think my best finds when it comes to wargaming related things, has to be the enourmus pile of unopen plastic and metal bluisters I got for a very nice price. When I was browsing trough the shelfs of a local modeling store that was going out of buisnins due to the owner retiring.
All in all I think I layed my hands on some two hundred figures all in all. Pluss a few pices of terrain
For all this I payed 500 NOK, dunno how much that is in GBP or dollars but it was damned cheap me thinks

**Litcheur**

I was just looking for some litterature in foreign language, and instead of going at my usual second-hand book store, I went to the smaller one. Didn't expect much...

Until I stumble upon a copy of Slaves to Darkness. Lying there, between two (very) dusty german books of psychology. According to the price tag, it was lying there for nine months.

His little brother was there two. That one has a misprint, some pages are upside down. I guess it's worth more than the 4€ I spent on it.

**winnertakesall**

60 RT, NOS, Corvus Marines, for 99p, plus £3 shipping.

They were less than a mile from me, but I couldn't bear to go and look the guy in he face when I picked them up and gave him a pound for them.

**SBG**

2005 Tyranid army box, with codex, for $100 still new in box. This was in 2008

**TheCustomLime**

I got a games day 2008 SM captain for $10 last week. Not amazing but none too shabby either.

**Ratius**

My mother called me from a flea market, asking if I collected 'Eldar?'

Your mom rocks

**Sinful Hero**

On eBay the last few months I've picked up a used Scythed Hierodule for ~$70, and a completely magnetized metal Hive Tyrant for $15. The dual devourers usually sell for that much, so I was tickled pink. And several fully magnetized carnifexes with two pairs of dual devourers and most other options for ~$20/model.

**ScootyPuffJunior**

Early last year at the swap meet my FLGS holds I walked away with ten or so of the 54mm Inquisitor models for $24.

**Frankenberry**

At Cold Wars last year I ended up dropping about 100 bucks on various things in their 'garage sale' area.

Vendetta, a land speeder, and a small khador army. Found these huge metal shelving units with like 30 plastic trays a piece for $1 each...couldn't believe it.

**rahxephon**

50% clearance sale on Anima Tactics. Wasn't into it before but am now.

**H.B.M.C.**

Got an amazing Space Hulk deal off of Ebay. It was 1st Ed Space Hulk + Death Wing + Genestealer + the Space Hulk Compendium + Tyranid Attack + all the miniatures for all games + an extra set of Tyranid Attack miniatures*.

Later on I found an auction for Warhammer Quest sans miniatures. Then I found a guy just selling the miniatures for Quest. HA!

*Combine that with the 40+ original Genestealers I already owned plus another 4 boxes of 'Stealers plus two sets of Battle for McDonald's 'Stealers and this is the story of how I ended up with 120+ Genestealers by accident.

**LuciusAR**

I got a 1st edition Space Hulk, complete with all parts for £2.50 at a car boot sale about 15 years ago.

I still play it to this day. I bought 2nd and 3rd editions but the battered old 1st ED set is still the one I like to use. Albeit with newer Terminator models in place of the ones that came with the original set.

**H.B.M.C.**

I got a really great deal on 2nd Ed Space Hulk. Guy was selling it cheap.

It was in French.

Thankfully, the guy who sold it to me included a CD with every single Space Hulk-related item scanned and put on the CD. Every rulebook, WD article, Citadel Journal article - you name it, it was there. In English, as well.

**talljosh85**

I spent like $25 for a whirlwind in bits, came with an on sprue dreadnought, metal C'tan unbuilt, the rare/LE DA CPT unbuilt (the pricey/combi plasma one), and a metal terminator libby unbuilt, all thrown in the same box by the seller on ebay. So well over $100 (resale) worth of stuff for $25 shipped. Felt like a win. Oh, and a 3rd Ed Space Hulk complete, built/no paint for $66.35 shipped, that was a pretty sweet deal.

Hey, I got 3 copies of that same Space Hulk in Italian. The Works (a book and odds & sods store) had them in for £10 each.

**Peregrine**

The old FW Shadosword with the interior detail parts for $170 (incredibly rare, and previously sold in the $4-500 range). Ebay persistence pays off, it looked like a normal Shadowsword except one of the hatches was missing and you could see a tiny corner of the driver's chair through the hole. The best part is I bought it to put the parts into my existing Shadowsword (#98 of 1500+), so once the rest of the tank goes back on ebay I should even recover most of my investment.

**H.B.M.C.**

Got the full Skullz Promotion Adeptus Mechanicus collection for US$120 (from a fellow Dakkanaut). At the time they were going for £250-ish on eBay.

**SilverMK2**

I got 3 current hard back 40k codexes and the current whfb hard cover rules for £9.50 a few months ago.

**Doctadeth**

Man o War, Warhammer Fantasy 2nd edition, Warhammer quest .

For Free.
Still with the rulebooks and everything. My mum's quilting friend was getting rid of her son's stuff. I almost forgot. Battlemech and Battlemech URBAN, Nagash, and a metal treeman, and a BUNCH of old games including all the mechwarrior series, constructor, Hero Quest.....oh gods the humanity.
