The Westfalia Bin PT II - Broken figs?
« on: November 10, 2016, 06:33:27 PM »
Gentlemen,

I am in the process of cleaning up the post KS mess. I decided to do bargain boxes and will start with the gobbos. Any amount £ 0.50 per Resin mini. 3 different bows 2 different spears and a fat champion.

More bargain boxes soon. :--)

I'm in -

10 spears, 10 archers, 2 Champions.


More bargain boxes soon. :--)

If I paypal pay for the gobbos can you hold them until the next boxes - so you can send me one package rather than several?

Hey, I backed the Halfmen Kickstarter, excellent work and very impressed with the Mini's. My Goblin Captain is looking rather lonely so I'd be interested in ordering some of the Goblin models if possible. Is there a site you are sorting it through or just through this site?

I am interested, but I couldnt find in your post a picture of the models. Do you happen to have one?  I am not in a hurry to get the models, so I could also wait for more "More bargain boxes" to make shipping more efficient.

Is the fat champion the one gobo that I received with a shield and sword?

And is there a link to pictures of these?

I am happy to tackle the postage. This sale is really about sorting our stock.

Not the best shot, but the Gobbos are really well sculpted and cast.

Here is fine. Payment details and that sort of thing per PM.

Yes indeed. See the shoddy pics above.

Then I will take two sets. If you manage to find at least one model of the missing speargobo it would be amazing, I want to have the full collection.

Thanks for all info and Midaski was that link for me to see what you sending me for Christmas? Normally I would say thats too much, but since you missed my b-day too, sure Ill take it.

Yep, noticed in the picture there was a third spear gobo, and I'd be thrilled to have one of those as well.

But if not, maybe they'll be orderable via your website?

Is it a third speargobbo, or the same one at each end, but at a different angle?

RealJuan - sorry I missed your birthday - maybe if you had come to the eurobash I would have remembered   :closed-eyes:

I shall have a dig - I'd be surprised if there were none at all, but I can't promise anything.

Please contact me per PM to sort the payment. :--)

I really have lots of minis that I needed to sort out during the KS. No real damage, but a snapped of mace, a missing tab, or a bit of a bubble somewhere that could be closed with putty in a second.

I can't sell broken stuff (at least not conciously!), so I was wondering how you guys would feel about me selling such minis for maybe £0.50 (compared to £2 for rankers up to £4 for champions)?

Most of the members here are long standing hobbyists and can repair, convert, pin, weapon swap.

I for one do minor tweaks all the time to make a unit more individual whilst keeping the uniform coherency.

You should see me sniffing around the 'bargain buckets' at shows ........................   :biggriin:

I'm in for pretty much anything, RnF troopers, broken horned goats, .................. got a damaged war wagon ? ..........  :engel:

1) If you say explicitly that the minis have problems, then the customer knows what he is getting into.

2) You also adding a big discount, so there is incentive to buy.

3) If you want to be even nicer, you can add pictures or description of the damage/problem. This is extra, first two points are already good enough most of the time, and pictures/descriptions take a lot of time to do it for each mini. Maybe make groups, i.e 1 = broken part, 2 = missing a part, 3 = bubbles, etc.

War Wagon (1, 2, 3, 4)

*4 = no existent

I may be interested in a small number of the goblins, and a few of the miscasts.

Thanks again for the input. I am not going to drop the Seconds into the shop, but will offer them in forums as they come in.

So here goes:

I had just seen the FB post which was 3mins old - I was trying to beat you to posting  :engel:

Now I have already paid you via Paypal as well.

The only other thing I mentioned was that if there are any Infantry Command in the mix, I would prefer Command 2 Figures rather than 1.
(I somehow - I think it is due to your original generosity - have a 3-1 mix in favour of Command 1 at the moment)

The goats was merely an idea for baggage carts I had, and a couple of other support things.
