You do realize he is already getting this much? There are 60 bids. Maybe I should paint me up some Nob Bikers.

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity...... |

Wow. On so many levels. I think the paintjob is really good, and it is definately a unique unit.
Would I pay $1800+ for it? No way.
Apparently, someone will (or might, there is no guarantee he will actually get paid when the auction ends).

no way any sane person would bid that much.

No matter what you think of the slow bidding that amount, you have to admit those are some damn nice looking bikers. Nice conversions and the paint is good.
As to whether it's a shill bidder or not... that's illegal. Ebay checks up on this stuff.
P.S. I'm sorry I compared the winning bidder to a slow. That's an insult to slowed people.

There is a cheaper alternative: get Victoria Lamb as your new GF.
but seriously for that kind of money I would just rather do a 100% forgeworld DKoK army.

Victoria Lamb visited my house ages ago and drew some murals on the wall of my games room in marker pen.
My parents should have kept that house or I should have taken the walls with me and put them on EBay.
The bikers are well painted, nicely based etc but I would never pay that sort of money for ANY models.
