Whee! Has anybody else had trouble when you started to use eBay? I've so far dished out some ?100+. During the first month. And I have about as many auctions active at the moment. 
My latest purchases include 2 Superheavy tank companies, Tyranids and a couple of Eldar titans & vehicles.

The problem for me isn't actually ebay its when the person who listed the auction you just won goes:
"Oh, by the way, I also have these I haven't listed yet. Are you interested?"
I had one $10 auction turn into a $600 auction that way. 
I'm so weak sometimes...

Good work Mojarn, I tolled up a similar amount in just over a month - but put a stop then - it IS addictive, and I was also wasting loads of time. Some I'm now out... in fact I'm not buying models at the moment, except for the still awaited Aeronefs.

You said it. ?72 plus postage just conveniently doubled the amount dished out this month.  Wargamers are nutcases.

Incidentally - how did you guys fare with ebay? In my one month+ using it I've not had any bad experience, although in one instance a mailing address was changed after I posted a bank draft, and another draft went awol for two months! Doug helped me out with a third transaction (Thanks again Doug). The sellers were good blokes though, and delivered without any trouble. Ebay without paypal can be a bit stressful, though. Any thoughts?

Nice work Mojarn! Good price, too. But being the boss Squat you are, I get the feeling that GW fluff on disappearance of the Squats is going to become reality at this rate! 
It's Dominatrices and Carnifices....I guess.

Considering that My Squat army is well on its way to 30000 points (the Squats got a Megacannon battery, an Overlord & a Gyrocopter Squadron) I'd not be worried...
