Having got a couple of awesome bargains off eBay recently I thought I would share my two pennothworth.

The stuff I got was a bargain in every sense of the word. I basically paid less than unpaintedprice for a good paint job and an excellent paint job. I really cant complain. I do like painting my own but for the price of £1 per figure then it was a non brainier.  However some of the Ebay prices are silly, do people not even look at the original price on the websites. Take a figure for Flintloque. A KGL trooper on Alternative armies sitting at £5.00 jump to eBay same figure £8.99 with £2.30 postage. Now some of the rare figures are going for silly money…well they are rare, but charging £12.00 for something still available from Alternative armies for £4.00 is really taking the pee a bit.

Strangely enough some of the expensive stuff are on for 28 days at a time (I have seen them for over 6 months)…someone is obviously an optimist why pay £!8 when you can buy it on eBay for £30.

I shall no doubt keep perusing to see if anymore bargains pop up. A huge orc collection went a few weeks ago for about £70 strangely enough an awful lot of £9.99 blister packs have appeared, but again the same would cost £6-8 and are still available from Alternative Armies. Not dissing anyone for an entrepreneurial spirit in the slightest, but it does just make me wonder how it all works.
