I'm not selling anything, I was whittling my way through all the O&G auctions on eBay just now and stumbled across this unhinged seller:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/warhammer-snotling-OOP-1980s-exclusive-only-hundreds-of-thousands-ever-made-/281268507433?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item417ce8d329
Which led me to this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/warhammer-Flashing-OOP-1980s-exclusive-only-millions-of-fragments-ever-made-/281265237234?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item417cb6ecf2


Not sure what this guy is so annoyed about, his feedback shows he doesn't sell miniatures usually. In the second auction link he mentions not needing a raffle ticket, which is something thetrolltrader (big seller of old warhammer on eBay) does in his auctions. Also, thetrolltrader's prices are often a little on the high side. Anyone any thoughts? This seller comes across as a child being completely OTT.

No bids?

Ahhw.

I think it's hilarious.

I think he's just having some fun.
You can just taste the sarcasm and irony.

Case in point:
"This is a very rare and exclusive Warhammer snotling figure. There were only ever hundreds of thousands of these produced and just about everyone bought them but i think because i've had the paint stripped off and i've kept it in a box in my loft for twenty years, it must be worth at least AT LEAST £2million!"

I look at it as a desperate cry for attention.
It is definitely an attempt at humor but not well executed.
The second posting was a little closer.

I for one would have shown the model or sprue in a ring case with big flowing script saying that:

"the value added to the piece by buffing it and safely storing it for 20 years, the vault has been opened and this piece is available for a limited time..." you know how "premier collection pieces" are sold.

I give them points for the extreme honesty.

This was the impression I got. Also, he does seem a little bitter about the way in which people sell miniatures.

His auctions are very funny. The Q&A at the bottom of the second link was funny too.

I can see these actually selling to idiots if the prices were lower.

Not as funny as the Banana slicer

Oh please!

I've got heaps of those, and I only paid half what he's asking for.

He stated that he's the chairman of the A-Hole Club, and that his name is Hugh Janus.

He's taking the mickey.

Wow, glad I've got you to point that out to me

I thought the same thing when I read it. Like, DOY!!!!

This is an example of why you don't leave yourself signed in to websites and then piss your partner off.

Seeing as all of his other items are quite sanely priced, i would say he is just trolling.
