2 Baneblades 1 Shadowsword $65.00. Granted they were in horrible shape but I was able to use the parts to repair 1 of each and can use the leftover chassis for a Skullhamma. All I have to do is make some plasticard tracks..

total Confrontation miniature Cynwall force including dragon: $82
Well worth the time cleaning them.

Throne of Everblight, Black Frost shard crew, unit of Warmongers
$75

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.

Cheers for that, if i take another foray into swapshop il remember that, Used Toy Game it is on my customs forms too from now on.

Got this about a week and a half ago (via ebay). I was wanting a few more deff coptas, and found thisdeal i got it for 77 bucks including shipping

and a couple other models that wernt mentioned in the listing.

Just got my fore mentioned Plague Ogryns, they are beautiful in a nasty way! The only reason I re mention this is because I paid $34 including the $8 shipping. The seller shipped from China and the shipping was $28..... Poor fellow only made $6 on FW models

not ebay but I got:

24 oop dais daemonettes
a oop spawn
a blood thirster
and 6 of the old blood letters off a mate for £20 : D

as for ebay, I thought a rhino, leman russ, 2 speeders and 2 old ork truks for £25 was pretty good ^_^

200$
BFG fleet

2 super heavy battle ships
15 battle cruisers
25 escort ships.

A NIB Predator for $30 (including shipping) around the time of the 2011 price hike.

3 Eldar War Walkers, new in box (limited edition 3 walker squadron box), for $50 on ebay. Yay!!! Nowadays, I'd just get the battleforce to do it, but still ... bargain's a bargain. I've sold a bargain,too - 4k of tyranids for $300 bucks, to some lucky individual!

Eric

May have been what his friend asked for on it-I had a guy on bartertown ask $50 for 10 Diaz Seekers. I bought em up fast, not telling him they were worth ~$200. Then again, it should be different when a friend offers a ridiculously lowball asking price.

SM Tac squad $8 dollars.

OOP Necron Lord (The one in the old codex with the funky staff) painted above table top standard for less than $20

Devilfish: £8.00

Turned out to be perfectly well assembled and very nicely primered. So i was really chuffed with purchase. Havent touched it since though.

no, that was the asking price, he just wanted to get rid of them to free some space up and he knew I was a huge slaanesh fan

Another one for me is from a mate not ebay this time I got and I am getting.

Landraider and KFF Big mek for £20

Traded a land speeder for 3 Killa kans

Another 3 Killa Kans for £12

And I am about to get 30 shoota boys, 3 power klaw nobz 4 deff koptas 2 trukks and 8 lootas for £30 and an AoBR Dreadnought. Then a weirdboy for £2 albeit it is in bad condition.

The best ones, to date, were when I was getting Necron Warrior Sprues, roughly a year before the big update. The best one I ever received was an NOS Warriors and Scarabs for $12. The most I ever paid for one box, I think, was $24. Not bad, I think, considering I was just beginning to collect 40K.

2 Rhinos with full set of Forgeworld Dark Angels doors, $80 including shipping.

I may have gotten the best deal ever on bay. Payed $600.00 usd for a giant 80lb box of bitz from Canada. When the dust settled after I sorted it all up I ended up with :

Close to 200 Space marines with ccw and pistol options and about 40 jump packs, loads of weapon bitz
80+ metal minis including 2 scout squads, death wing terminators, dark angels marines, 4 chaplains, 2 emperors champs, and assorted sm
20 metal devastator weapon sets, including heavy bolsters, plasma cannons, multi melts and las cannons
4 predators, 6 rhinos, 3 land raiders and a land speeder
120 metal black Templar shoulders
4 devilish , 1 hammerhead
6 metal steathsuits and 12 metal pathfinders
25 kroot warriors and a krootox
46 firewarriors and bitz
8 crisis suits
30 Cadians, 20 catachans, 4 heavy weapons teams
20 csm and alot of bitz
1 defiler
A crapload of zombies, chaos marauders, lizaerdmen, and some high elves
A large amount of classic oop metal tank parts like razorback turrets and a demolisher cannon.
3 oop rhinos
10 metal raveners, 10 tyranid warriors, 30 termagaunts , 30 hormogaunts, 20 genestealers
About 12 terrain pieces( mostly fish tank pieces but really good ones)
And finally about 50 issues of white dwarf, hard cover 4ed rule book, lots of codexes( old and new) , 4 chapter approved books, and a hard cover art book.
Crap, , almost forgot the 5 dreadnaughts

Phew! I guess the seller was a bit of a plastic addict. 5 years later and I haven't finished half the stuff. I ended up with 2000 point Black Templar army, a second mixes chapter marine army, 2000 points of tau, and I filled out a tyranid and csm army on top of that.

Quite happy with my recent ebay purchases, got 5 Raiders and 3 Ravagers, all the old OOP models for over £50 less than Darkspheres 25% price (including postage on both totals). Also got 2 Blaster warriors and an old Archon (to use as Vect) for very cheap as well.

wow thats an impressive haul

My best eBay bargain was probably a really nicely converted metal treeman for just over £6. Really bad photo on the listing, but when it turned up the model's lovely. Since painted it up and he's now taking pride of place in my Wood Elves =)
