thats a easy way to collect bb minis, just write : give me all the minis i need, i will pay for everything ...

I ´m collecting BB minis for about 2 years in earnest and now i nearly got all BB minis together.

KGK I just posted one. Check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 89090&rd=1

The BIN price might look insane but I've seen some insane stuff happen lately. We'll see.

No, I didn't paint it. I picked it up already painted.

I've seen that dwarf team

believe me or not, I think I'm painting much more better my team than those minis... and I'm not a good painter what should I ask for if I became fool and sell the team? I think is not worth 200 $

well I don't know who bought it on E-bay for $200.00 but it wasn't me. It is sold though!

The buyer may be new but obviously knew what he was after. And thinking about it, it may not have been a bad price. If you look around some of the commercial/semi-commercial painters you'll find figures are often charged at $30 - $50 per figure for painting. So for a set of 12 this isn't a bad price. I don't agree with these rates but if thats what you have to pay then thats it. The other option is to paint yourself, but personally my skills are nowhere in that league.

I have ran up against this buyer a couple of times recently. He apparently is expanding his collection and has the money to back it up.

Well...if you consider how many hours go in to something like this...
I'd hazard a guess that take me something over like 30 hrs to paint something like that..and if you take away the cost of the figs, then you're not looking at a whole lot of bucks per hour...

Snew · Post by **Snew** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 3:15 pm

I think it's easily worth $200.00 and we both got a good deal. I've said it before, to have a team painted to a decent standard will cost $200 if you're having it done by one of the many services listed on Bartertown.net. That's without the metal. This money will probably just go to a service to have one of the teams I use painted and it might not cover it all. Maybe we'll see a lot more painted teams for sale and I won't have to.

I've seen several teams go for $170 to $190+ lately and I wanted to see if I could get a piece of that pie. This is a serious buyer who knows what he wants. I'm glad I could help.

well I will keep looking for some kick butt painted teams or just hire somebody I guess because I know I suck at paints figs
