Some people... :rolleyes: But yeah, sure there'll be bidders. There's allways someone dumb enough like the guy who bid some $300 for two Eldar Firestorms (Ok, that was probably an accident but still...)
What is even worse IMO are the auctions for less than a stand worth of Ork Nobz and stuff like thhat. That is just downright ridiculous. 
Cheers!

Perhap someone in a hurry to get a ruined Librarium will bid on it, as Forge World seems to be notoriously slow about fufilling orders.

Keep in mind that the way ebay works no matter how much I enter, for it to go that high would take **TWO** people to bid that high. No accident there. 
Also I have noticed that there is a sense that Forgeworld is worth more and often sells for more then what you could order it for.
Saw some tanks a few weeks ago sell for almost double what they cost. 
Too sad.

eBay
Forgeworld Epic Ruined Librarium
Starting Price ?4.99
of course on the actual Forgeworld website it only costs ?4.50 and with P&P still will be less than the eBay auction.
I wonder if he will get any bids? |
Of course the other question I have is:
Is it real or a knock off?
I know of one person who bought a Forgeworld item from ebay only to find it was a knock off. The detail was lost in the re-molding.

Hi!
Its pretty common to see things on e-bay more expensive than just buying them from GW.
A lot of people are just clueless.

Yes, and I have to say as a seller I sometimes feel bad when I sell something way more then it is worth. But then I remember the saying that there is no accounting for people.
So I take their money and wish them happy times with their new toy.

Hi!
Some have the notion that if it is on e-bay it it somehow "hard to find". They bid on it through the nose. A lot of store owners have been able to make a killing becuase of it.

Our local store owner makes some good money selling off dead stock that he can't move in the store. Sells OK on ebay. Too funny if you ask me.

We have a bid. Yes it is a single bid, but we have a bid.

I actually don't think that is too bad for what it is...
$46 (when I looked) is about right for those boxes considering how many sprues you get (remember when they were $7.50 a sprue)

Hi!
To think they were 20 dollars....
I wouldnt pay close to 50 for it, but Jimbo is right that the price for what you get, by current standards, its decent.

This depends which actual box set it is. If I remember correctly, there were two sets, the first had about ten sprues, and the second had less. (Am I right?) This looks like the smaller set. It is a little expensive, but not excessive. (I found one of these and a similar Squat set, still shrik wrapped for a bit less!  )
