GAs... hmm, just wondering...

... when someone will ask for GA for this week or this month BB minis?

I can understand (and using GAs myself) for single minis or one lot of minis, but if i watch this asking/requesting agreements for whole lots of one seller...

Please don´t misunderstand my question. I´m not looking for these lots right now the people asking GAs for.

Some agreement yes, but this looks like kind of monopols. I´m alone with this opinion ? Maybe i´m to new at this forum, but this seem a bit funny to me.

someone asking for a GA doesnt mean the first who saw the auction can have it. It just mean you better make an agrement with the other, looking who really want the auction, and avoid overbidding on TBB members.

If you were referring to my request to GA some lots, well as I stated, I am new around here and I don't know the exact protocol.

I took my lead from other posters who have put requested several GAs in the same post or in separate posts over several days.

I'm trying to get some 2nd edition stuff, but once I have what I am after (particularly a few big guys, some skaven and humans), I certainly won't be requesting GAs just to hog stuff or to monopolise the lots.

Kind Regards,

M

I hope this is the real meaning of GAs here.

If i would have known this forum before , i would have save a lot of money :) So i had to outbid a lot of people just to get one mini of a lot. :cry:

I´m quite new here also... so don´t ask me for a protocol or something like this. :roll: Are there any ... :?:
I just thought, oh, another BigD... well, if you watch the BB bids at ebay for a while and read this posts here , you already knew him, didn´t you ? :wink: ( He, BigD, no accusation ! :lol: )

I´m lucky, i got nearly got my stuff together, so hardly any competition from my side. :D

Good luck for your collection... i knew how much luck and time it takes.

I think people here are very flexible about GA's and are very helpful
in agreeing deals etc ..... sometimes deals can be struck over GA's
which keeps everyone happy and in my opinion thats what its all about.
Plus you do save alot of money not trying to out bid each other :)
