Is the website http://hoardobits.com/cgi/hob/index.pl legit? I was looking for some bitz for my ork army and the site had deals like 20 boys for $19.99 and 3 Deffkoptas for $11.66. These deals sent up some immediate red flags. Does anyone know about the site or have any experience with them?

Never heard of it. Dont trust it.

i believe it is. i have bought things on ebay through horde o bits and its always been an excellent service. i have never seen that site specifically though so im not positive. go through ebay maybe?

do you mind I ask what you bought from them?

Hoard 'O Bits is legit. I've bought from them 5 or 6 times. Mostly small purchases, all Chaos/Daemons bits. Most of their deals aren't amazing, but they are at least all reasonable.

I've had great transactions with a Hoard-O-Bits on Ebay, not sure if these are the same guys.

Have a look at any of the several hundred threads on bits and you will find a recommendation of Hoard-O-Bits .

A lot of people swear by it, however I ordered stuff from him before and it never arrived. When I contacted him 3mths after I had paid for it he never responded. I waited a week and sent several messages but with no reply, so I opened a dispute with ebay and he failed to reply to them over the 7 days too. So a Paypal dispute was opened by ebay and I got my money back. He then went on to block me from his ebay shop, so I'd be weary.

I've ordered bitz from Hoard 'O' Bitz a few times now, most recently last year. No issues. It was a mix of Ork, Guard and Tau stuff. Come to think of it that's the last time I did a bitz order.

I've ordered from them a few dozen times and never had an issue. It's usually sent quickly and at a fairly good price.

I too have ordered tons of ork stuff through eBay and have had absolutely no problem. Prompt shipping and no hassles.

I've ordered through ebay quite a few times and have never had an issue.

their ebay site is pretty much spectacular. Ordered dozens of stuff and got all of them and i live in turkey so it is international shipping.
but i am actually not sure if those are the same guys. The safest bet is asking them on ebay just to be sure the site is theirs.

Weary means tired. Wary means cautious. Wary is the word you were looking for.

I've had good experiences with Hoard o Bits. I think they're legit.

I've purchased a few bitz from them, no problems. GM didn't though, so I reccomend getting something cheap as a test.

Are we sure it's the same one from ebay? I'm pretty sure the big ebay store is just Hoard bits without the o'

If it IS the same one, they're awesome. I've bought a lot from them.

i have made a few purchases from HOB and i would say they are pretty legit

The website is the same as the ebay store. In fact, we just had a thread in News & Rumors about this.

Buy with confidence from them-I've also had great lucky. My old roommate and I bought a ton of Eldar, Tyranid and Space Marine bitz, plus auctions, and everything showed up in a reasonable amount of time, fair prices (we didn't buy overpriced stuff) and I'd happily buy from them again.

Used them through ebay several times! No problems at all!

Their website is a new storefront of their ebay overflow.

I have ordered from HoB for the past 2 years many times. I have a hard time finding better bits prices online, and if you live on the east coast in the USA no one will deliver to you faster that is a major bits seller.

I have given them 100s of dollars... never regretted it, great deals

I've bought from him dozens of time, reliable.

I order stuff from them on ebay all the time, always went well for me. Great guys to deal with.

The orks are cheap because they are probably from AoBR. My friend plays orks and got a similar price from our FLGS for the same models. Not a bad thing by any means.

They are legit. Pretty good deal if you get multiple auctions and save on shipping.

I haven't bought from their new website but their ebay store is legit, they have some pretty good deals.

cool, I plan on getting a few sets of the AoBR orks from Hoard O' Bits soon, good for filling in an army I guess

I love Hoard O' Bits. I won a few auctions (I would not recommend buying from the Buy-it-now, simply because the Auction deals are far better). They combine shipping, which is freakin' sweet, and each time I ordered from them I got the bits within three days. It was glorious.

I think it helps that I live within 2hrs driving distance of the guy/store.

They are legit, and 99% of the time you get what you want with zero hassle. However that 1% of the time something goes wrong, their customer service is horrible and its practically impossible to get an answer from them.

I've ordered many times from them, but the last time I ended up getting double-charged and no amount of emails could get them to address my problem. Finally I opened up a dispute w/ my card company and it got sorted out. I actually would buy again from them, the deals are that good, but they banned me from their site after I gave them a negative review for that transaction lol.
