A fair few figs here i think thats the rere troll in that lot, might be wrong.

If someone gets this I may be interested in a few of the skaven or whatever else isn't wanted.

Yep. Both of them. Other 1st ed stuff too. Bust out the Visa, have a garage sale... Do whatever you need to to free up some extra cash. I smell a bidding war.

Son of a buck ... what is with folks in the UK only taking payment via SNAIL MAIL ... ARRRGGGHHH!!!

I'd participate in the bidding war for this lot if they took PayPal .... oh well ... good luck to you all.

Yer i figured someone will pay more for the rares than i want for the other stuff so i didn't bother bidding.

I'd be happy to buy stuff on behalf of someone and then take the money from paypal myself and send the stuff on.

If you are a starting collector and can easily pay in BPS ... seriously consider this auction.

Both the Rare 2E Trolls (#2 and #3)
Minotaur Star Bellow Thunderslam
2nd edition Minotaur #2
The 1st Edition Orc Lineman and Blitzer
The 1st/2nd Edition Zombie and Skeleton
2E Snotling Star Player #3
Nine 2E Skavens
Eleven 2E Halflings (including Puggy)
Three 2E Elves

The Spike on Troll #2 looks to be in good shape also and that frequently gets bent very badly with time.

My bid if I was bidding would be 55 BPS. Since I already have all the figs this would be the bargin basement price to me for this lot. This is a great lot to kick start a 2E collection if you got BPS lying around.

Question: To Ebayers have ANY clue how much money they lose by not accepting PayPal. That David dude that was given us hassle refused to take PayPal so I didn't bid ... his loss. Same here ... oh well.

Be careful offering that Grumble ...remember PayPal is going to take a fee from you receiving the money which means you'd have to make very sure that you inflated the amount sent to you by X% so that you actually receive enough to cover the BPS payment to the seller.

Wow!

I can't see a GA on this, whoever goes for this I think that you can expect an all out bidding war! Good luck people. :-?

Bloody Hell! This has a number of figures I'd be keen to grab. The Troll and Minotaur. DOH! Gotta keep an eye on this one alright, as will I assume DFC and a few others. I'd probably stretch to £70 but then would need to ditch quite a bit afterwards. Only really keen on the Trolls and the Mino. The rest wouldn't worry me.

I see stingger01 has jumped in already. DOH!

Well, cards on the table time. I'm thinking £80-90 ish ATM. Maybe a bit higher if the sums work out. This one isn't going cheap.

I will get higher than £100, but I'd rather see the limit in the very last day... Here's one of the last mini I want, and whereas some girlfriends or "Mrs" :roll: :wink: of some TTBers who'd prefer to stay unknown ;) would never accept it, mine is with me on it... Guess what, she talked about helping me to buy it "like assisting for a block"... Waow ;) I lost the last troll because gentka want it more than me, I will do my max about having this one. Only the troll has my interest; if you'd be interested in other minis, it will be a pleasure to talk about it... When the auction will end, if I'd win ;) A little bit superstitious!

Good luck to everybody!

I think you can get them off ebay now, but ones like that attract alot of money.
