Bitz seller on eBay?

I found a bitz seller on ebay but they all seem to charge a massive premium for what should be 75p each at most.

ill check out the maximini ones

Keep an eye out for a wargaming convention or tournament that has vendors, more than likely you will find one that has a bitz seller there.

Official GW bitz are overpriced, just use a 3rd party jump packs.

In the old days, we used to make them ourselves with plasticard and plastic pipe fittings. Don't know if that works for you.

I'm curious as to why you think a resin Forge World pre-Heresy jump pack that is only found on expensive kits you can't get anywhere else (legally), or rare, metal OOP parts would be that cheap. Even regular plastic jump packs aren't that cheap.

On licitation site, a Polish ebay clone i once bought Renegade Milita Conversion Set for 5£. Its a 1/3 of normal cost.
They were brand new ,expect that there were in black undercoat.

Oh, so you guys were talking about used prices. I know they were new, but if they are assembled and/or primed, even if they are mint condition, they are considered used and the price goes down a lot.

That's a good idea, I should start buying used jump packs instead of looking at those expensive new ones.
