So this ends today at 13.20pm

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381071141226? ... EBIDX%3AIT

and then this pops up 20 minutes later for a 60% mark-up. Using the original sellers own photos for added insult.

Buyers and sellers beware!

LOL! That's capitalism. It might be funny to find out if Robball is a brother to RussyB :)

Didn't we have a muppets on ebay thread somewhere once upon a time?

Hi!

I would not buy anything epic on ebay anymore.

The technology for resin and metal casting has advanced enough for many more people to attempt it themselves. Some ware so good that without a bonafide original and some calipers you may never tell the difference. Heck they can even reproduce the FW packaging and labeling.

This is nothing new of course, only that presently it seems more accessible to be tried.

So when you bid keep it in mind.

Ahh... Just in time for bed - a mildly entertaining story of greed and delusion.

This is another reason why I want to only support manufacturers like Onslaught, Troublemaker, Steel Crown apart from the trading I'm doing on here for specific Ork pieces.

I'd much rather have the newer creators be able to keep afloat, than have the money go to these ejits. Usually I prefer their models, but even when I prefer the original stuff, it just isn't worth it most of the time.

I keep getting back to thinking they cannot possibly make any discernable business doing all this rather taxing hoarding
