Someone on e-bay is offering their services to help build 40k armies:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Warhammer-40k-army-building-help-expirienced-gamer-/120626239492?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c15e25804
Quote from the auction description:
Hello. I am an expirienced Warhammer 40k player and this listing is to help out people who need help making their army better. I can help you with Chaos Daemons, Space marines, Tyranids, Black Templars and Imperial Guard. Most of the games I play, I win so if you want to stop winning and have a higher chance of winning, I can help you with one of the following armys. How i will help you is, you can give me some facts about what you are using, what armies do you go against, and what you have trouble with in your game. I will give you some suggestions and some tips to help your army and if you want, I can give you an example army list between 1000 and 3000 points, you are not GUARENTEED to win more games, but I am a very good gamer and I can greatly help, so why pay hundreds of dollars to get models that you find out you don't need, when you can buy this guide for only $1?
I understand there may be a market out there for custom advice to help other gamers win.
However, this gentleman is undercut by EVERY Wh40k forum out there that dipenses helpful advice to people who ask nice.
Dunno how to react to this...

I've seen someone selling print out copies of Wikipedia articles as source books for another games system. This does not surprise me at all. In these troubled times people are willing to prey on the stupid.

Did you copy/paste that? Spelling and grammar is off. Poor salesmanship
I'd tell him for $50 you'll help him with all the other armies...

JB: I like the concept of a free Shrike roaming through the treetops of the jungle. I'm not sure that I like the idea of a real Shrike sitting on my couch eating my Skittles.
corpsesarefun: Thank god I missed be nice to shrike day.
greenskin lynn: because of all the skittles and soda, you basically live off sugar water, like some sort of freakish human-hummingbird hybrid. |

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

I feel like this is a scam. He can't even spell experienced in his title. Anyone who would actually pay for this advice is either extremely desperate or just plain stupid.
