It sold for £300 with £5 postage. So with ebays 10% fees the total is actually £274.50. That's not including paypal fees. So not a great deal by the seller. Their strategy didn't pay off

I'm all for people making a bit of cash but let's be honest the tactics these people are utilising are a little under handed. I love the smaug model and I know it's a little pricey but I would rather wait till after the Christmas period than have to take out a morgage to buy one before Christmas! |

Look at the feedback for the smug auction. It didn't really sell |

It's really getting crazy now. The original Sourcebooks are now going for big bucks. ...well, the seller wants big bucks anyway. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOTR-Games-Work ... 2a4a2724f0 Seller has others priced equally outrageously too. I have been seeing in print miniatures that sellers want more than GW. ...now who is the one abusing the limited market??? I feel pretty frustrated for sure. I had a lot of extra Easterlings up on ebay. Putting up lots of 12, split evenly between pikes, bows, and swords. Priced them right at $1/each miniature, and they went for a couple bucks more. And I am totally okay with that. I did have a Mahud King that went for like $85, and a dozen Mahud w/Blowpipes go for $160. I guess it's whatever the market will bear. Not sure where this is going really, but I can't wait for all the formerly interested players to be divested of their underutilized miniatures and are gone from the marketplace. I feel like I am waiting for the complete death of the hobby so I can pick up missing parts for my own at a reasonable price. complaining and ranting over, probably... |

It's hard for sellers like me to give good prices when I can sell an army of Hobbits to the right buyer for $250. And it only took me two weeks. But yeah I understand the bs when people are charging more than retail for miniatures that are still out. |

Has anyone noticed an ebay seller from Poland selling a lot of "rare" figures, does anyone think they are copies? here is an example, there are loads of different ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DWARF-WARRIOR ... 3ceff1fcb6 |

I can almost guarantee they are copies. I purchased from this seller once before and the stuff looks good but not legit. I asked them last year from March-Feb about lists and pricing and the seller gave me a list saying they had dozens of rares and had like 4 rare rohan captains lol. 4........and there were like 36 guard of the galad court etc. A goofy list. Possible, but not probably. |

They are casts. I bought loads from them and can confirm what LOTBR has said above. Casts are pretty good in general and I was unable to tell until I bought Guards of the galadhrim court. They were the worst casts with the mail detail lost. I am no expert however and some of you may more readily spot the imperfections. i ordered about 60 minitures from her and got the rohan captain thrown in for free- though I already had one. |

Yeah I keep my prices high but only at the high end of current rates reasonably. I see items like a metal oop soldiers not heroes for like $65-75 and I die on the inside a little. Lately eBay has had some nice stuff. |

Hey guys! At the beggining, I would like to welcome you all, cause this is my first post over here since I'm watching your topics  Today I decided to register my own account and the main reason is to ask you a question - because of lack miniatures in my store I'm about to do my first shopping on eBay, and here is one thing I'm wondering about - are these prices good or not?http://www.ebay.de/itm/LotR-wroza-SALE- ... 3gU-FaQWEA |
