That's cause we're ALL looking for them. I need 30-40 myself.

GAH. There was a guy who frequented / worked at the LGS a while back who had a unit of 30 Teutogen Guard painted up as Tzeentch cultists. We had no idea they were rare. I wonder if he still has them.

I had a couple a while back that I sold on one of the other boards. Now I know why there was such a scramble for them, and why I got way more than I'd expected!

It's a Dictator from CAV. Gotta be a big-scale resin model, but I didn't know anyone had made one!
[edit] Huh. It's 1/60-scale, done by John Bear Ross long ago, and no longer available. Damn waste of a nice model!

Good eye. Thanks for letting me know about that model on ebay. The conversion is...interesting.
Here's a blog post about it.

I love how the seller fluffed it out and everything. "alien bladder bush". To be honest it's actually a really cool idea. I might have to create something like that for my personal collection.

Well the international shipping program is still evolving, and as a buyer in Canada, if I see the auctions uses it, I wont bid. Early on they were charging the buyer the sellers cost to ship to the depot and the cost to ship internationally (think 30 dollars shipping on a 100g bag of bits). On top of this they charge the seller duty on all auctions, but typically a purchase of 20 or under should incur no duty.
Finally I had a claim for a damaged auction. it looks like the metal models were dumped into a large box from the sellers original package, all packing material removed. took about 6 weeks for the claim to be resolved and I think the seller got dinged because he sent me a nasty ebay message.

I was doing an eBay clearout on my bits box a couple of weeks ago and popped on five of Victoria Miniatures cloaks for a start price of £1.
Two bidders had a bit of a panic over them and pushed the price up to £25.00.
Its not always the seller being greedy when items go for silly money.

So, how about this:

Considering it's neither one of the original Limited Editions (With the faux drakescale dust-cover), 1st Editions or even a signed edition I'm rather surprised at the asking price - even more so when I can get it from GW for £15. But hey, as long as the dust cover fits properly...
