So, there you go.

Its been up for quite a while, I've ordered from the site twice.
Hopefully they'll keep adding bits to it.

Not new, it's been up for a couple of months

Ya it mite be new, but I did not know and I buy from all the time. Great find.

I buy from them all the time, but they recently blocked me because one of my auction wasn't received

I tried to convincing them with proof but they just said " if you claim an item wasnt received why do you still want to purchase from us" Well my response to that was i spent close to $500 in bits and its only 1 mess up so i don;t mind.
But they wont unblock me >.<

The one problem I see is no contact us info.

Nice, I've ordered a lot from these guys, too... it's an ever-growing niche with there being no other way to get bits except from folks willing to break up boxes!

Not sure if I'd rather use them this way rather than through ebay, will have to compare if there's a price difference / etc.

Yea its not news but it is news that they finally have the ogre stuff up

I always purchased from them off ebay, nice to see a easy to navigate website is up now! Great website!

Stocks seem to be on the low side though...

Yeah, no necron bits at all... I was hoping to find some destroyer torsos on there. :(

I've had no end of troubles with them. They don't answer eBay messages. I got my eBay account shut down because they wouldn't respond to an invoice where they stuffed up the combined postage and I got 20 non payment cases against me.

If there is no contact facility through their site I would be wary of doing business with them.

I thought with the title they would have a physical storefront.

Not just a webpage.

Who would have a physical store-front for selling second-hand GW bits?

I don't know what went wrong with your auction wins, but mine have always been pretty smooth. I've always gotten replies to my emails (don't know if they check eBay's web messages) and they give 21 days to even make a payment. I've even had an order messed up and they shipped replacements out within a few days.

The only issue I have with HoB's store is that they do the same thing other bits sellers do and price their stuff well above going rates - not quite as much as Neal does but it gets close. In my experience, unless you're in a hurry, their eBay auctions are probably going to be a better deal.

I ordered items through them a few times, but they kept shipping them to me in regular unpadded envelopes. 2 of my orders arrived with holes in the envelopes because of the poor packaging and nothing inside. He credited me the first time and sent replacements (I was willing to order again), and then a few more times went by without incident, until another order of about $3.00 in bits was sent again in an unpadded envelope and it was full of nothing. I tried contacting with no resolution or answer from him. I tried contacting him through ebay again and found out he had blocked me from bidding and/or contacting him again. I'm still out the $3.00 plus shipping, and haven't heard anything from him in over a year (gave up after first month).

whoever chops his bits off the sprue also could take alittle more time as one of the pieces I got had been mangled by the snips, luckily it was a part I didn't need anyway, but if your going to bit stuff out you need to make sure your selling good stuff.

Thats my rant, take it for what it's worth

The problem with bits sales is a lot of gamers have no real concept of they are paying for the time and risk of the seller. As someone who has sold thousands of bits a month their is a huge risk involved and you often need too sell in volumn or you won't turn a profit. On average when you bits things out only half of the kick sells and you have just paid for a employee too cut it up (takes them forever, because they are cutting the whole box up not just the bits sold that second) and then paying them too package it. Also there are all of the fees involved with ebay and paypal , vendors so in the end you only make about 10% profit if your lucky. Personally HOB as is many others are moving away from ebay because you get shafted easy with them and paypal. If people file a complaint even if you show proof that you either reshipped etc etc ebay gives a refund and you end up loosing thousands. Just something too think about is all.

Just placed an order on their website for something I've ordered many times from them on ebay. Will update with how smooth (or not) the process is

i've ordered from the ebay and website several times with never a problem, kinda sad to hear the troubles some have had
