E-bay is full of ridiculous auctions but this Dutch trading site called Marktplaats also has a real gem:

Only €280,- for a piece of crude home-made scenery? Yes please! (for the bid that one guy put in)

Very optimistic I would say. Even 10% of what they are asking is far too much.

Daring to ask such a price and then not even bothering with a description.....

Gorgash Redfang · « **Reply #781 on:** October 15, 2012, 05:20:50 PM »

I have noticed a lot of the eBay shops do not bother with descriptions, they just say "selling item as pictured WYSIWYG" ....

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #782 on:** October 15, 2012, 05:22:31 PM »

Could be the empty boxes...

Those options are totally worth 775 dollars.

Makes me wonder if they are right in the head, BOTH the seller(and any buyer that would spend that on one item)... INSANE

BAWTRM · « **Reply #787 on:** October 16, 2012, 06:32:06 AM »

Well, there's paint on them but to call them 'painted' is stretching it a bit.

humanityunited · « **Reply #788 on:** October 16, 2012, 10:58:43 AM »

Come on, it's a fair one. 2k $ for 7 models if someone buys both items

wissenlander · « **Reply #789 on:** October 16, 2012, 12:03:30 PM »

Hey, at least shipping is free.

BAWTRM · « **Reply #790 on:** October 16, 2012, 12:39:42 PM »

Just look at what the guy is offering in his Hero Quest 'shop'. 9 pages of auctions/buy it nows

And then you take a closer look: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Heroquest-High-Mage-Wizards-of-Morcar-Hero-Quest-/110812909979?pt=Giochi_in_Scatola&hash=item19ccf6d19b

Now that totally doesn't look like a poorly cleaned resin copy of the original, ahem.

These minis also differ in the colour of plastic I know them: http://www.ebay.it/itm/Return-Witch-Lord-Heroquest-Hero-Quest-unpainted-no-box-/120937580131?pt=Giochi_in_Scatola&hash=item1c28710663

I wouldn't be surprised if the cardboard game pieces are noting more then reprints on thick cardstock.

wissenlander · « **Reply #791 on:** October 16, 2012, 12:43:30 PM »

Those skellies do look a bit different in color to the ones I've got.

I'm sure he doesn't really think anyone will pay that buy it now price. He's intentionally high balling the price so that people will make him an offer of what they will really pay. I'm guessing would take any offer above $250 for Karl Franz and $350 for the Demi-Gryphs, based on his previous sales. Those are still crazy prices and people are paying premium prices for his work though.

Those Heroquest figs are definitely bad recasts.

phillyt · « **Reply #793 on:** October 16, 2012, 03:06:19 PM »

Those Heroquest models look like fakes (the wizard at the very least).

Crazy!

I don't really buy much on ebay anymore. When I needed my 18 wraiths, I couldn't get them at a reasonable price on ebay and just waited around on Bartertown, snatching them up as they became available.

oak_prince · « **Reply #794 on:** October 16, 2012, 04:18:14 PM »

I have seen some auctions of average to good painted model auctions really take off. I never understood why - your "pro-painted" models would never gel with the rest of your army.

Sounds like he more or less admits that it's a copy in the description:

Does ebay really charge 11% fee on stuff you sell?

I am finally getting round to going on there to sell a few warhammer bits and bobs and I want to know what I'm getting into. Only ever bought on there...
