This is for an old OOP, and admittedly super cool, Imperial Dropship from way back when but for $400 is just insane especially when you consider just how many current, in production alternatives are out there (hello DRM Dropship > GW Dropship any day of the week). ;D Maybe I just don't get it or maybe I'm stingy and cheap but had to do a WTF post just to kvetch.

Talking of insanity, why is it in the 'other' category not the epic 40k category … ?

Yeah made from 100% pure unobtainium. Too bad that proxyium is now on the market :P
I guess fair play if you can find someone willing to pay that but wow...

Yeah digging around whomever runs epi collector site has decided to go into ebay epic ebay stores along the lines of markfield miniatures and black water hollow business model. Another eBay muppet in the making...

Speaking of more ebay-itis:
Don't know how many people here cross over to BFG but these were laughingly watched by me till close
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300800988507?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300800984146?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

No doubt our favorite ebay muppet blackwater hollow will use these proceeds to gouge ever more extravagant prices from unwitting buyers by buying up more lots.

To be fair, he is very careful not to suggest they are OOP, and they are rare, if only because not everyone knows about them and not everyone that does prefers them. They also appear not to be available commercially ATTM.

Surprised by that, although no flying stands - which are quite expensive by themselves :/ In general though, you might find better luck if you allow postage to be combined. Being able to combine always tempts me to grab extra stuff I don't really need :) I personally also try to get postage costs as realistic and low as possible - as if I were paying myself. It seems a good idea to bump up the postage and squeeze a bit extra that way (without paying fees on it), but IME buyers don't go for it. I know I don't. High postage costs really put people off. £2.50 isn't so far out for a pile of big chunky metal models (although you might even be able to send those as large letter for 69p). But £5.00 to post 38 loose infantry models is obscene so I just wouldn't even bother to do the maths - even if it ends up being no more expensive.

This guy is a little bit crazy. I own 5 of these ships, just have them from a friend in australia. It's the same thing like the other guy last year or so, who offers Otterware.
