Ebay item 320368343421

Wow... just Wow

Epic face plate!

Even worse than my drop pod, right Gwar?

Nah, your drop pod has some class, All you needed was to print it on Plasticard and paint it. This... This... I dont know what This is!

An abomination. I sent him a question:
"Do you really honestly expect somebody to pay 300 dollars for this? It looks like it is made out of cardboard."

This is in no way worse than those Nob Bikers, the Nob Bikers got that high from actual bidding, this is just gak someone put a price tag on without any bids.

OH MYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! That was....lets say..... amazingly, utterly, unbelievably.... .well i'll keep it nice. All I know... it reminds me of a huge apoc game I played and the other team brought crap like that to the table... but theirs was just the skeletons. They had stick built titans. I had just bought the real thing and spent major bucks and they brink stickmen as titans.

I've seen some really nicely done cardboard ones, its the fact that he wants 300 bucks for it that makes it amusing.

There is nothing amusing about this at all. If I had brought my entirely painted army and the other jerk showed up with that, I would fething lose it. I built two titans from styrofoam and cardboard, one of which took me nearly a year. I finally concluded that they were a waste of time and ended up making them the centerpiece of a massive fireworks display a couple of years ago, and they looked A LOT better than this piece of crap. It makes me think that you should have to go through a screening process for internet use, at least a minimum IQ test and psych eval.

Well, at least have the satisfaction of knowing that he had to pay to post that up, and there is no conceivable way he is going to dupe somebody out of 300 dollars for it.

Kill me.

I am so buying it.

See, this auction is nothing but win-win for the seller. Everybody is checking it out, and he makes people like warpcrafter whine and cry. Win for him. Someone thinks the only thing funnier than than putting an auction like that up for $300 is actually BUYING it, and not only does the seller gets his laughs in, he gets $300. BIG win for him.

Muahahaha, $300 for me... Err I mean... it's terribad, don't buy it, srsly guise!

Altho I believe its not the fool that asks alot its the fool that pays it, that thing is horrible. I bet those guns are made from bendy straws lol

If the seller can get $300 for it, good for him. Means he has a future on Wall Street. And, on the bright side, it has free shipping!

It isnt finished, it even says so in the description. "With a little more work including finishing the head" or something like that.

So it's not a final product, he just put the head on there as a humorous placeholder. Its not as if he blelieves it is finished with that head, which I think a lot of you are assuming.

Edit: and then I looked at the rest of it closely.

Ah yes, Dakka Dakka, we make picking on little kids look GOOD!

Maybe $3.00

Some kids ask to be picked on.

This is a great start at a scratch-built titan! He just needs to be "bitz" it up, finish the head, and go stomping all over the 40k universe with it . He should keep it and finish it!!

While this is certainly not the worst Ebay listing ever, it is quite...over priced for the quality of the model and conversion.

Out of curiosity, what exactly was the Pro Painted Nob Bikers? I wasn't around for that one, obviously.

Well, the Ebay Listing is certainly gone now, but basically it was a bunch of (six I think) Forge World Nob Bikers that were "Pro Painted" (and I use the term VERY loosely) that sold for something like $1600 or some such ridiculous amount of money.

...so, for a £100 I too can make some cash? Hmm. I think I have that spare, and a can of green spray paint somewhere.

PT Barnum and all that... "sucker born every minute".

I really just don't know what to say about that.

I keep looking at the things "head" and wondering what the heck was going through the builder's mind. It looks like he got tired of building the model when he got to the head and gave up.

I am sorry, but I am unable to get thru any links whatsoever this moment, can someone show me please?

Hey, it has free shipping!

Okey, now I can see it.

All Fear The Cardboard Warrior.

Just 300 $!? Compared to forgeworld that is a bloody bargain!

That's what all abusive people say. It's never that they're abusive, it's always the victim's fault.

Honestly I find it sad that we've got a post with with 30 replies basically picking apart some kid who's put a ton of time and effort into this project. Sure $300s a bit much, but I'm sure it's worth that much to him. If he could hear half of what's being posted, he'd be crushed and humiliated.

Then to have a Mod say that this is acceptable behavior really sets the tone for the place, doesn't it? Basically that there are no rules or decency.

I'll delete my own account, thanks!
