Not sure I get ebay anymore
« on: July 16, 2013, 03:29:12 AM »
Tau Empire Commander Shadowsun BNIB New Sealed Warhammer 40k Metal Plastic |

So this item, which is "plastic metal" is almost 5 times as expensive as its retail counterpart. I am no expert, but I can't get it. What is so special about this lot? Or is he just trying to fool someone?

I think this is the most likely answer, or he's just plain stupid...

If it's a plastic / metal hybrid model, you might find someone that really hates the finecast models that would be willing to shell out extra for it.

It appears there's an option to make an "offer" below. Maybe they're just fishing, or maybe they actually think someone would pay that much extra to avoid a... less liked... material.

Of course, I haven't e-bay'ed for a very long time. :)

I agree with GBT.

Personally I've avoided Failcast like the plague... However I've also avoided Metal models in 40k as I can make most of them with bits, but that's a cost thing... However I bought Metal miniatures for LOTR as they are so good...

Wow I rambled quite a bit... In short I can understand people paying more of it but not that much as I'm cheap...

I think he's just trying his luck and seeing if someone is willing to pay.
