I dont normally chase the other auctions any more. So dont worry there Tas.
I am only looking for Tyranid troops and FW roads and scenary, if the scenary continues to be as scarce as this I am going to have to make my own! The roads are the worst to find.
What else ahhh and the Warlord metal weapons Primarch was kind enough to post pics of which somehow I missed. Damn.

Hi!
Good point Breten. It has been mentioned before, there's no real explanation other than perhaps ignorance or laziness on the buyers part.

Or in the case of some people, the fear of dealing outside the US. I know a few people who would pass up a great price for a more expensive auction because the first was the UK and the second was US. Not sure why the fear, but it is there.

I kind of understand the fear of not wanting to bid on something outside the US. I'm glad I'm not one of those people, though. I've gotten many good deals that way. One auction I won was for 70 rhinos which were located in France. The only concern I have about foreign trades is the increased shipping cost.

Wow, Thats alot for a single item. Hey, everyone has their passions. I have always tried to pick things up from all over, if you are willing to pay for postage dealing with USA, UK and canada are good options. I live in OZ and we can only get SG via the net. Enjoy your warlord.
Cheers
CAL
P.S I have lost heap of auctions to Darkone

| Quote (darkone26 @ 19 Dec. 2005 (18:18)) | Thanks again guys, ?I had thought it would go high not just because Maksim was after it but I thought Epicollector would go for it, ?luckily for me that wasnt the case. ?Nevertheless its gone to a good home I promise!
Maksim: I wouldnt worry so much about the bidding, I still havent forgotten the promo ork traktor we slugged it out for. ?So no hard feelings!  |
Hi Doug,
No worries, you're a class act, Doug! 
But don't get me wrong, I'm jealous... in a good way!
And I have a spare FW raod set for you... maybe in an exchange... wink wink... 
Shalom,

As much as I would love to have a prototype Beetleback, I would rather spend that much money on buying a bunch of minis.

If one is good dozens more must therefore be better and all that.
