I wanted to let everyone know I have just started making Dave Graffam's models and buildings available in Pre-Cut Print format.

With Pre-Cut prints you will quickly and affordably be able to put together a full range of buildings for your gaming table.

If you wish to view the current items up for auction, please see my listings on Ebay here

All of these auctions are starting off ridiculously cheap at $.50 a page.

I will be adding more models as the days and weeks go by.

Thanks

Do you have permission from Dave Graffam Models to do this?

Yes, I have been working together with Dave for two months on this project and I have a licensing agreement with Dave to distribute his product in this fashion.

this is cool. Reminds me off the old fantasy card terrain gw used to do.

Yeah, he definitely does.

Dave, if you can get someone this side of the pond to offer something similar, I would be supremely interested (and I expect there would be many others too).

I do ship worldwide If I could arrange distribution from the U.K. that would be even better, this is something I am considering if business takes off.

No offence was meant earlier... Look forward to you getting distribution this side of the pond

I hope so - I do realise that you can already ship from Canada but the shipping cost as it stands really wipes out the cost savings.

Finding someone who can print them in the EU would be considerably cheaper than shipping them overseas. Maybe cheap enough for me to buy...

You yourself can print them out over there in the EU!

I do understand, the best consolation I can give right now is that the more you buy the cheaper the shipping will be per item, as I do combined shipping.

None taken, and a fair question, it would be all too easy for someone to try this without Dave's consent.

The biggest hurdle with distribution in the UK right now is finding someone who can be trusted to manage that end of the business, and getting quality prints done affordably enough to make the venture viable. I currently have a great deal with my local print shop, which I doubt could be met anywhere else. I still have a long way to go before even considering looking into that end, considering I just started selling this week, and the current offered range is limited.

But for those overseas, I will look into what can be done to curb the shipping fees further for now.

Loved it, i got no laser printer, and i really dont like to do the cutting work anyway. For this price i will be waiting for sci-fi terrain (lets populate a infinity table lol)

Once I get the current ranges up and running I will be adding ruins next after which will be Dave's Sci-Fi models. I would roughly put the e.t.a in a couple of months, but don't hold me to that lol.

Of course it then becomes more expensive than buying plastic buildings, ink prices being what they are.

Good point - but I don't think ink is THAT expensive, is it?

Especially if you do the slightly naughty 'print at work' program.

Not that you or I would ever do such a thing, of course!

Good point - but I don't think ink is THAT expensive, is it?

If you are using a laser then not so bad, but an inkjet can run you up to $2 a page depending upon the printer model, and what quality you are running off your prints at.

I wanted to let everyone know I have expended the range of buildings offered here

I did have to raise my price to $1.50/page as at $.50/page I was basically paying people to buy the models, now I will make a very small profit. Not to mention I have been low balling the shipping, which will remain as it is.

Thanks to those who have made the first couple weeks a success and supported my business thus far!

Your efforts are appreciated - thanks!

Thanks Alpharius, good to know

I am still working on lessening the shipping costs overseas, the best I could do right now is cap the combined shipping at $15, not the best solution I know, but I will continue to see what I can arrange.

I added more auctions to the increasing range of models offered here

Two versions of the Cabin, three versions of the Ruined Longhouse, the Longhouse, the Warehouse (the one with interiors) and the impressive Willow Brook Inn

I changed my shipping rules to allow for free shipping with orders over $150 US (up to 30 days to combine orders), hopefully this will help those people out overseas who wished to buy my models.

Awesome stuff

Did someone say 'Mordheim' ?

I want to say "Infinity" xD

I could be persuaded to give a shot offering Dave's Watch Station after the current set of releases is finished (I have about 5 more models to add). If it sold well I would be more than willing to work on his Sci-fi stuff after finishing the ruins sets. I am also toying with the idea of creating a few buildings myself, I may just give a crack at a small Sci-fi building to see how it goes.

Thanks for the input!

In order to make the models I offer even MORE affordable, I have lowered the Buy-it-now price from $3.00 to $2.50 per page!

I recently purchased an industrial laser printer allowing me to increase my production time, so I won't be limited to one auction per week.

I will be changing my auction format to buy it now only starting this weekend. I have to go over my numbers to determine the final per page price. It will be between $2.00-$2.50 a page, so if you want to get the prints at a lower price now is the time to do it.

Is that a cost per page or per product?
Forgive me, but I'm unfamiliar with the product... I mean to ask, if a building takes up 2 pages is that a $4 to $5 building, then (at $2 to $2.50 per page)?

Eric

Per page, so yes a two page building would cost between $4 and $5.

I am currently in the process of taking some of the buildings and trying to compress them into fewer pages, but typically this will only save a page at best, along with adding new buildings to the offered range.

My eBay store is OPEN! http://stores.ebay.ca/Greenman-Miniatures?_rdc=1. I decided on $2.00 a page. Go, look, send my kids to university! lol

New arrivals coming soon including the Inventor's House and Townhouse!




I am currently working on the ruins collection.

Thanks!

I want to help, but that link isn't working!
