Well, I joined Ebay in 1998. In all that time (until this month) I had one aution where I know it was a rip off. I had one other close, but he came through in the end. This month I have had two go bad. I am sad more then mad. Neither were that important that I will not live, but I wanted the stuff and they both have claimed to have shipped. 
Both claim to have proof of shipment, but when I ask for it, they do not have it. Both ask for "more time" to find the boxed. The hard part is both are over in the UK. Makes me mad because I can not even report them for breaking the Postal Laws.
One auction has been 11 Weeks and the other has been 9 weeks. Just as a note, both had 99% or 100% positive feedback. 
Oh well. I did not need those minis anyway.

Sorry to hear that Dafrca. I've been off ebay for months, but I've had 100% good response in my 4 month stay (around 8 auctions won). All but one were from UK! I was lucky.

I received some support weapons for my guard today. I went to add then to one of the boxes I have and realized, I need bigger boxes. 
So I am going to look for a new storage box for my Infantry and Support Stands.
In any case, time for dafrca to head off to bed, so I wish you all a good night.

Hhmmm. First apprentice is increasing his lead.  Maybe I should pull out of the rules grabbing spree and get back to the arms race. Then again, I have no room for more until my very own war room has been finished. So far I have not even received permission to start from saint Bureaucraticus.

Sure, but if you live outsdie the US or UK then that restricts the availability of everything quite severely.
For everyone else its a case of pay the postage or dont get it at all...

I did that myself several years ago, DS. Glad I did, I really wasnt using them.

That's my theory too. Some of the games I probably haven't played since I was in high school. I figured that any revenue I can generate from selling my AH games can be used to buy more epic minis! ? |
Hi!
So it begins my young paduwan.
The dark side beckons...
..submit to its clarion call.... ? ?

I'm happy to report that with some of the money I just earned from selling 2 games, I'm picking up batch of Eldar knights! ?
Dafrca, bummer about your bad ebay deals. ? ?You have my sympathy. I usually don't bid on anything outside of the US because of the shipping cost. |
Hi!
AH! Excellent! Thats exactly what I did!
You show promise apprentice!

While I was organizing my collection, I just unwrapped about 20 miles of toilet paper!
It made me think of you... |
Taken out of context that could lead to some very odd rumors.

The toilet paper? ?  ?  ?  |
In a way, yes he means the paper, but not what you think. In fact, it will be a let down when you find out why.

Found a line on a wood box with pull out shelves. It was made for a man who was collecting Micro Armor. If I get the buy, I will sell off most of the Micro Armor and the box will become home to my Imperial Troops.
If it works well enough, I will try and get another one. Build some boxes in the right way and I will be able to store my Mass in a very dense block.
On another note, if you know of anyone who does the older RAFM scale Heavy Gear, I am looking for trade partners. I have some needs and have some to trade.
