Yah, until the bidder realizes that "Epic" means not 28mm and refuses to pay.
Too many of the "under 20" crowd do not know what Epic means.
Of course if he gets paid, well then I am happy for him!

Yeah, that's my guess, too, that the bidder thinks it's for 40k. |

Also, is someone willing to e-mail the high bidder and point out that you can buy a pack of TWO Epic Warhounds from Forge World for ?18...  I've seen this kind of listing before, and it does annoy me a bit...

One way or the other we will nknow soon. If the good feedback goes up well then someone is psycho. But if not, well then someone woke up.  dafrca |

Well, on the other hand, can someone really think he can go out with a 28mm scale Titan for such a bargain without smelling something fishy? I think more of the berzerk bidder syndrome, mix of "I must win this auction" and of "if it's sold on eBay it's cheap, no need to check retail price". |

Either way, it is a silly price to bid for something like that.  dafrca |

This guy regularly sells forgeworld stuff above retail price on ebay. Fair play to him I say. It clearly states that its epic scale in the description (and in the title) so if someone doesn't realize the scale then thats their fault not the sellers!! Its not as if he is scamming anyone. If someone bids ?10 and wins he will be out of pocket! btw they (if you check the desciption its for 2 warhounds) went for ?26 + p&p. |

Yeah, he's not deliberately deceiving anyone. I figure if they can't read/comprehend the item description, then they're learning an ?8 lesson they won't forget anytime soon. |

Here's another one! http://cgi.ebay.com/FORGE-W....iewItem Already going for ?6 over the Forgeworld price. What is this guy doing right? Is it because he puts "epic" in smaller type than the other words in his title?

I've e-mailed the buyer of the first pair of Warhounds, took me a while to convince him that Forgeworld was selling a pair for ?18! |

You are nice for doing so, but I have found more often then not, the people are mad at me for some reason. I have had more rude emails from buyers trying to explain to me I do not know what I am talking about. So I just let them buy Epic stuff thinking they are geting some great deal. But like I said, it was nice of you to try. dafrca |

Hi I actually send a message to the seller (owen kid) to ask him why he was selling these more than their actual price. "Why not ?" was his reply ^^ By the way, i'm a newbie here. So hi everyone ! Oh, and i'm French too so excuse my english ! |

Welcome aboard, Toma! Don't worry about your English. It's far better than my French. (High school was a long time ago! )
