Is very vague on the description isn't it.  Would be interesting to ask the "vendor" for a full listing of models..

Nice easily picked up item that.. :D

Or it could be a father or mother selling off Jr's crap that he left in their house too long.

I know that was how I got a great deal on one of my "major" buys around here. :-)

If those really are stolen, someone needs to take this jackass out of town and stone him.

I don't. The models are mainly from the first set of plastic Chaos Warriors. If you look at the other items, they're general household paraphenalia, old clothes, a banjo! :p DVDs etc.
The vendor's feedback is good. Looks to me like it's a typical "Garage Sale" someone's selling off all that old crap they never play with anymore.

i agree with Adam, looking like junior's stuff.

I am tempted to bid, just for the carry case, but the ?10 postage charge is a micky take...

...and I usually avoid auctions where you know the person is taking the mick.

The water tower I won recently, I was charged ?3.99 for p&p with the actual postage cost was ?1.78! So I was charged ?2.21 for some brown paper and some sellotape.

It annoys me, so I do try to avoid those rip-off postage auctions.

I'm with you , Jimbo. I try to avoid being ripped off by inflated "postal charges."

I agree that it's probably Jr's stuff being sold.

That, or a girlfriend or wife actually going through with the threat of selling the stuff on ebay...

It's suprisingly common for carry cases to be stolen from GW stores in England.  People walk in and out of stores with them and people are always distracted.  Stores are often crowded as well.  It's a shame.

However I agree that this porbbly isn't stolen.
