I just made a deal with a fellow ~ $100 for the following:

IMPERIAL
4 Bombard packs (may be missing parts)
4 Storm Hammer packs
3 Hellhound packs (may be missing parts)
1 Deathstrike pack
1 Whirlwind pack
1 Gorgon II pack
1 Predator pack
1 Termites pack
1 Mole pack
1 Drop Pods pack

SQUATS
5 Goliath packs
1 Land Train Engine with Mortar car pack

I'm hoping I can resell a lot of it and recoup a good portion of my investment.  I won't be able to lay eyes on it for another week or two, though.  A hundred bucks is my entire monthly gaming budget for January, sadly;  should I have tried to barter him down further?

I'd say that was a good deal. 24 blister packs for $100 is great.  What's that around $4 each so ?2?! Bargin I'd have thought.  The Goliaths will sell well I expect and you'll probably recoup $20 for the Land train.

Hell yes you got a good deal for 24 OOP blisters! You should easily be able to double your investment.

Depending on which Land Train engine it is, I might be interested.

I just sold three Goliaths on eBay for ten pounds each.

Yeah, if you want to recoup your investment, it should be easy. :)

Hey, Novaguard --

Once I get a look at the packs, I'll let you know.  If the Preds are Mk.II's or Mk.III's I'll probably keep them, but any later styles I'll be parting with.  Same thing with the Whirlwinds.  As for the drop pods... I'm still thinking on that one.

The only stuff I'm keeping for sure are the Stormhammers and Bombards.  Everything else will probably go on the chopping block.  I've never seen the Goliaths in person before, though, so I may have to take a good long look at those before deciding what to do with them.

Well, the box finally arrived, and I'm not disappointed.  The blister packs themselves are old and beat up, but the contents all seem to be okay.  The only missing parts were in one pack of Hellhounds, wherein two of the flamer pieces were not present.

I'm definitely keeping the Stormhammers, Predators, and Bombards.  I'm trying to decide what I want to do with the Goliaths... I kind of like them, but I'm not sure what to use them as (Earthshakers, maybe?).  The land train is pretty interesting, too, so I may decide to hold on to that for a while.  It's a pack with a rounded-front engine and a mortar car.

Novaguard, if you want those drop pods and Whirlwinds, send me a PM.

Now I wonder if I can kitbash those poor Hellhounds into something else... Hydras, maybe...

Thanks,
jav98

I think this was a good deal:
Auction I won

The package arrived and it had an extra titan head, so for under $6 I got:

Corvus head
Tzeentch head
Slaanesh head
CC head
2 Rubble claws
and an eldar titan shoulder pad(?)

I'm just feeing stupidly pleased with that, so i thought I'd share.

Woot!  Love eBay sometimes.

"Good deal" is an understatement.

If they are the old SM era Hellhounds, I've got the flamer pieces for trade.  

I had a bunch of these, so gave some to my Death Skulls.  Just any cool Orky or Chaos-y bit, turret, or whatever would be good.
