"Oh god that cant be right" ebay auction thread

[Crube]

Each one ive seen has gone for about that...

Only time you may be lucky is if its in a job lot.... youll be paying a hefty price, but you have the chance to recoup some selling the stuff you dont want.... I reember a job lot of old GW stuff going for about £900 tha included WD1-10 as well as 1st editions of 40K, WFB etc.... expensive, but on the whole a good deal...

[Geep]

That one also looked to be in a very good condition. I managed to snag one of them a while ago- the price seems pretty fixed around that mark.

i sold mine 5 years ago and it went for £75.00 then, so about right roughly,

Nothing terribly wrong with this one price wise, but i thought it was funny

Well, I like it...but do I $30 like it? No. That said, that's probably not a bad asking price when I've talked to commission painters.

That's a pretty awesome idea, actually. I know people who would bid on that if they collected miniatures of any sort.

Looks all fine till you see at the bottom it states you win just 1 sister of battle. And what's worse, someone won... and then left feedback message saying they didn't realise it was only 1 model you won!!

Oh dear :/

[Lord Dan]

Basecoat, wash, edge highlight.

Pro-painted. Nailed it.

I thought it made quite clear how many you were getting. Even the title states "1".

I agree, Bigby. I'm amazed at how many people fork over their money without reading the fine print. Or, in this case, the large, emboldened print.

This reminds me of the scam going on around a year ago with iPhone boxes. I don't know if it was like that in other countries, but in Germany there were alot of iPhone boxes on sale on eBay and many of these auctions fetched 100-300 Euros. Like in this auction the title and/or description often stated that you get only the packaging, some bits if you're lucky...but surely no iPhone. This went on for some weeks before the market was saturated (or blistering with rage, I don't know)...

[Charax]

It's an old scam, happened with xbox auctions too.

Well, not a scam. And old method of preying on people's propensity to skim-read.

In a reversed situation, I bought a huge collection of magazines from someone with free postage - the seller meant to make them collection only.

Luckily for me she kept to the terms of the auction and ended up spending more than she got on sending me lots of parcels

The main text is clearer, though the title does say sisters rather than sister!

[Lord Dan]

I guess that's my point. If I'm forking over even $1 of my money you can be sure I'm either going to:

1) Know exactly what I'm getting or
2) Clarify exactly what I'm getting prior to purchase

This is one of his other auctions. It's for 5 ork BOYS (plural!) as it states in the title, but it is tucked in there that you can only pick one. It might be your own fault for not reading it carefully but a scam is a scam. Its not right to be able to be allowed to do that. Though I know full well, with ebay, even if he is shut down it does not take much to fix up a new account and start all over again.

[Lord Dan]

Wow, that guy who bid is going to be pissed.
