FYI everyone:
Some of you probably already know this, but I've noticed that how you search for epic minis on ebay can make a difference. If you search for "epic 40k" you get only minis listed that way. If you search for "epic" you get a lot of other things (like Star Wars stuff) that you're really not looking for, but you also get [/B]everything[B] for epic. Some items are only listed as "epic miniatures." Recently an eldar titan that was listed as "epic eldar titan" was not found searching for "epic 40k."

After searching for Epic, on the left menu you will see the categories, which by clicking you can constrain your search.
Note some people will lable their auctions
? Epic,
? Epic 40K,
? Epic 40000,
? Epic Armageddon, or
? Titan Legions.
Some people have no idea what they are selling and this is where bargains are to be had.
Some people have no idea how to spell, which is how I got a Capital Imperialas (sic) for next to nothing...

I start with:
Epic -"Star Wars" -Starwars
This eliminated over half of what comes up on a plain Epic search.
Then if there is something you want, like say Titans, then I would do a second search like:
Titan Leagon
or
Titans -Teen

You are so right, Jimbo! Some people really don't know what they have!

Hi!
This is correct, people use different lables for e-bay epic auctions and it does make a difference for what appears in the search.
For example if you search for adeptus titanicus the first edition box set, it appears under that heading but not epic.

That's funny, I 've seen AT listed under epic. You're right, P, it all depends on how the seller lists it.
