Want me some empire!

I dont know if it is the one you are thinking of but : Discount Games Store is an ebay store that sells armies on sprues for like $100 cheaper then if you bought all the stuf aat a gw

I always use Discount Games Store now.
They have a really great service. always approx. 30% off GW prices. They also ship very fast and it's free.
Really great to deal with.

And they can get you most of the things (if they are not listed on ebay)

I put "Discount Games Store" and "DiscountGamesStore" as the seller name on a search and it pulled up no such seller.

Got a link to their store?

OOP chaos terminator captain for 3 quid

A 5th edition 40k mini rulebook for 20 bucks. Nothing special but beats buying retail for sure.

That's kind of expensive. On BTown, you can get them between $10 and $15 shipped.

The 2006-2007 Games Workshop Hobby Catalog and Reference Guide..

$2 in the Clearance Section at the local used Bookstore.

2nd edition Tyranid army including...

2 Hive Tyrants.
2 Carnifexes.
2 Lictors.
2 Zoanthropes
3 Biovores and 9 Spore Mines
10 Genestealers
12 metal Tyranid Warriors.

£5 + postage.

MINE.

$17 LRBT that looked bad but turned out was put together poorly. They threw in their extra bits. Fixed it up and now it's looking real nice xD

When I migrated from 40k to WHFB, I was too damn impatient to build an army. So I went to ebay and found pretty much exactly what I was looking for! - 5000+ pts of painted Dwarfs! For $700! ...at least I assume that's a damn good bargain...

don't know why i said "damn" twice...

1 metal marius leitdorf
1 metal wizard on horse
5 metal great swords
15 spearmen
5 handgunners
20 archers
1 cannon
5 knights

£23

I got a pair of LRBTs for £25 (built but unpainted/damaged). I was pretty pleased with that, I must say.

Not sure about bargain but I just recently got the 1st Edition Rogue Trader rulebook for $145AUD. Pissed me off a little bit because a few days earlier I had been bidding on one that would have gone for $90 but my internet went haywire when I got up at 6am to try and win the last bid. No matter, it's in pristine condition and it's a fantastic resource so I consider it a bargian.

I agree Discount Games Store is fantastic

Last night I won Ghazgul, a Deffdread, a Killa Kan and a Trukk for £21 inc. p&p =D

You guys REALLY need to spend more time in the Swap Shop and on Bartertown.
That price is ridiculously high when compared to some of the prices I've seen on Dakka & BTown.

Not ebay, but I did pick up Realm of Chaos:The Lost and The Damned for $30 on amazon...

Well ya know I wanted to be able to post on this thread...so this morning... I usually nose around for eldar stuff every couple of days but with the weekend I didn't have a chance to. I came onto an auction that was just closing out. So for $110 USD (purchase and shipping to Cali) I got.

11 Swooping Hawks
14 Dire Avengers plus an unopened box
5 Rangers
5 Support Weapons
5 Dark Reapers
about 14-16 Guardians
11 Fire Dragons
FarSeer

I'm so very pleased because

I really wanted some Dark Reapers
and more Fire Dragons.
I needed one last box of DAs too.
The hawks make 3 full squads (although I'm not sure I'd use that many ever).
I've got the Farseer, but I previously lost his head. So yay.
I've never had the new Rangers.
and the guardians and support weapons always welcome.

It was kinda like someone read a wishlist of mine and decided to fill it. And none of it is FineCast (which I'm still leary about buying). Happy belated Easter!

I have tried bartertown and swap shop and im not sure whether it is the same for aussies, but everything I have received via trades from the US has come to me with an added £20 + fee slapped on by customs, this really takes the sheen off the deal alot of the time !!

Well a few days ago I got a jump on the free 5k of oop Ogre Kingdoms minis for pick up at Adepticon And then on Ebay I was able to get All 3 new FW Plague Ogryns for $32 shipped, usually they are somewhere in the realm of $80 without shipping from FW. I love ebay! Well and Dakka

I can see where that would hurt.
Sadly, it's because your trade partner didn't know how to take care of you while still being honest.
gaming stuff sent internationally should be called, "Used Toy Game [WXYZ]." Where it says [WXYZ], replace it with what you're sending; books, pieces, models, etc. The Key is to get USED, TOY and GAME in there. Those are typically fee free until you hit a certain value (which varies by country).
Nobody I've ever sent anything to has ever come back to me and said they got hit with fees, and I've sent hundreds of dollars worth of stuff at once. Especially in Canada & the UK, where it seems most prevalent.

Is that £4 each or £4 for the whole big mess?

If it is for the whole mess and they are still there shoot me a PM and you will have the chance to make a tidy profit sir.

So it was $25 for the knife and then $5 for a towel to clean off the blood?

Just kidding, I'm super jealous. One day...

It was the only one available at the time, therefore the guy selling it had no previous "this is 200 dollars" to match or only slightly undercut. So they put it at 30 bucks and I stumbled across it at about 2am, still hadn't sorted out an amazon account here since moving to the States, so I had to wake the wife to ask her to log in and purchase it. Fortunately she's a saint.

(and... it's in near mint condition...)

If your searching for bargains on ebay check for mis-spellings. I also collect rare paintball guns. I found a gun that originally retailed for over $3000 as a one of a kind custom for $175 shipped buy it now simply because the name was mis-spelled.

Having picked up two OOP models for abou 30% of their usual price, I have to agree with checking for misspelled or mislabeled models. That's 'of,' not 'off,' btw. Yes, the deal was great. $40 for $120 of OOP models.

For the whole lot of course (read the stereotypical cheap Scottish bloke). I've found that they're a bit scattered about my house now. Last night I came upon issues from between 16 and 84 beneath my bed in a pile, so I'll assume the rest are elsewhere. However I'm thinking of keeping onto them for a good while for posterirty and ahem, profit (judging by the prices on ebay right now I've no reason to sell out just yet). ^^

I got a few Daemons MC's for around $30 or so USD shipped

Cadwallon roleplay book £3 mint condition including postage a 500+ page hardback book.
