0.0 They charge $50 for that? Feth, I must have three complete boxes of it in my loft, not including the ones that aren't. I guess charity shops are a little win where I live.

I don't use ebay much, but I did manage to get a (metal) Wyvern for £9.

Sell me one of the copies?

I think the best deal I have ever gotten was 10 Asssault Marines for £10 equiped with a Thunderhammer and 2 Meltaguns. I was over the moon. Same day I got (from the same seller) another 10 assault marines with Powerfist and 2 meltaguns but this time for £20.

^^ A guy at my wargaming club's been after them since last year, so unfortunately if I ever think to shift them they'll be going towards his collection. Though seriously, I gave up buying them because they appear so commonly in charity shops. Oxfam Records seems to be where all the sci fi related items are sent (like the first few hundred White Dwarf issues for £4-"if you can carry that crate home on your own their yours"), so if you happen to have one of them in the US I'd have a gander there.

AoBR Dreadnought on sprue + AoBR Terminators on sprue, all for like $40.00 iirc.

IIRC, I spent about 5 bucks for a lot of Simtac figs. Had some random sci-fi humans and a full set of the 5 or so space dwarves that Bob Olley (who also sculpted many of the Squats) had sculpted for them.

When I abandoned my plan for a Squat army, I think I eventually sold the Set of Space Dwarves for $40 bucks or so!

I once got the old GorkaMorka box witha load of basic 2nd edition orks for £7

This is a bargain?

Let me know if anyone else wants a bargain like this.

Also, I just bought 500 magnets for $0.99. Even with $8 shipping, it's a decent enough deal (normally ~$10 for 100, + shipping).

oni wrote:AoBR Dreadnought on sprue + AoBR Terminators on sprue, all for like $40.00 iirc.

But AOBR costs $99 USD, with average discount its $80

we minus -$10 for rule book, -3 for template and dices leave $67 for the miniatures itself.

divide it by the 2 sides = $33.50 USD for ALL the Space Marine stuff o_o
which is $7 less, and you get 1 extra tac squad and 1 captain >.<

Stuff like that tends to be the "big ticket" items from the starter sets. If you look at Battlewagon Bits to provide the "outlier" prices...it's marked at $29.99 and $27.99 for those two pieces(Dread is $29.99, Terminators $27.99).

So $40 for both? That's not too bad at all.

I take it you dont shop on ebay much kanluwen?

here you go, 36mins left, almost half price of Battlewagon Bits

I have managed to accrue 8 mk1 rhinos, 4 mk1 predators and over 80 RTB marines and 20+ RTB Imperial Guardsmen. I can't remember prices I paid for individual bits, but any time I spy a bargain, complete or otherwise, I pounce. The various bits have, fortunately, complemented each other and rounded out previous incomplete sets. Now I have a huge collection just nagging away saying, "paint me, paint me."

That is so lucky.

The worse for me is like get 10 ork bikes for $10 and then lose all the bids on the wheels.
Then I have to wait for months to win a bid for the wheels since everyone buys it for conversions and prices sky rockets ;_;

Speaking of ebay bargains, what's the name of the ebay store where they sell you cheap sprues in bulk?

Want me some empire!

Ive picked up most of my stuff on ebay.

60 space marines and ten Space marine scouts for £17 with some bits sprues

They are of varying quality and state of repair and all of they need some paint stripping but all in all a decent deal I feel.

Four dark angel bikes £12 undercoated white only the eyes painted

10 imperial guard shock troopers and ten fire warriors £13 both unpainted though the guard have a fair bit of glue on them I will need to remove.

Any tips on glue removal?

Space wolf army with wolf lord, 10 scouts, 3 bikes, 5 assault marines, 10 termies, marine commnader, AOBR 10 marines with missile, and GW army case

$125

lol.. posted in wrong thread.. sorry about that..

about a year back, I got a Rhino, plus 45 sisters of battle (inc superiors, special weapons, 4 heavy bolters, OOP Canoness) for £68. Bargain!

Oop pred, oop razorback and 4 marines (Captain, librarian, sgt w/pw and flamer marine) for $12

This one isn´t actually a Ebay bargain story, but this guy offered me some orks for my PS3 Remote, we traded and i got 40 boyz and 10 nobz and some converted grotz.
BTW the Remote was not made by sony, and he was aware of that, it was just a cheap clone you´d get in a market.

12 old style Khorne Berzerkers for £1.99 plus postage.

I had a joygasm.

Got a refurbished Canon camera that typically sells (refurbished) in the $550 to $700 range for only $365 shipped.

Fortunately, I happened to be searching at JUST the right time. I hit the BIN button less than an hour after it was posted. Too much more time and I'd have missed that bad boy for certain.


Eric

5 Ratlings for £6.45. =D

Not Ebay, but I just got all this at Columbus flea market for $35.00:

A bunch of Chainmail dwarves and orcs, an Undead army deal from Crocodile Games ($80 on their site), 2 Reaper figures, 2 D&D metal elementals, and 4 Mage Knight metal figures all in their original packages.

20 2nd ed. Grots for one penny.
