I have to say I think you took the best option, and I'd certainly
encourage anyone else thinking of selling items to likewise either
sell through ebay (feel free to post links to your auctions), or set
a fixed price, first come, first served kinda thing.

Tradings all good though, indeed I'd encourage it if your after a
specific bit or model, there may be someone out there who can help!

that if someone emails me saying they'll pay £ X for something, and
then someone else says they'll pay £ X+1 for the same figures, how
do I convey the message that the original offer has been outbid with
any credibility on my part? I could be making the whole thing up for
all you know! :D

on ebay at the moment- prices aren't noticably higher than usual for
these minatures.

group. That being said I step off my sopabox and hope you get good
money for them. It's the holidays so ebay is packed with shoppers-
especially for 40k since apocalypse was released. The forgeworld and
armorcast i had I sold for double what they were going for last year
and more than I paid .
