It will, if he gets a bid and the winner comes through. ?:;):

Truth be told, I would not buy them at that price even if I had that much just "hanging around". They are not worth that much to me.

Lots of money - but to buy new and get professionally painted to that standard would cost that sort of money. There are people out there with lots of money and little time... :D

Hi!

This guy is smoking something good....

...so few models for that money?

You have any idea what I could get for that sum in epic minis?

If anyone actually bids that amount, get his name and address...

..I have a bridge in brooklyn I need to dump....

From my perspective I'm not all that surprised at the price - bearing in mind the Back row is probably half the value on their own (7 OOP armorcast vehicles & 3 FW Hierodules all well painted - thats  LOT of cash!).

I would be suprised if he gets it for the army as one batch, but if he splits it up, the force is worthy of the price in my eyes, but then I know members here think I'm far too expensive (fair enough - as I've said before - if you can get high quality cheap, then go cheap!).

Tuffskull,

You have hit it for me. The point is not that the figures plus paint jobs are not ?worth? that. It is who has that kind of cash up front? If he sold it in smaller batches and singles where appropriate, I think he may get more. But just as I have lost every one of your auctions, some have more money then I do.

In the world of Ebay, nothing is over priced that is paid for, and a single penny is too much for an auction that does not get any bids.

Hi!

While I understand your logic, two things:

1. While its hard to put "fair value" on conversion work, there is no way I could justify that price for what is given. I've been involved in business for a long time and there's no way I could accept such a mark up.

2. I'm a cheap #######. :;):

Of course, number two has the most bearing on what I'm willing to pay..... :;):

Seriously though, things are worth whatever someone will pay for them. Its all market forces.

I'll be suprised, too, if he gets that much. Yes, it is a really nice looking army, but who has that kind of cash available?   ???

I don't think it's unreasonable for the product, based on market prices.  It seems that good, pro paint jobs cost about the same as the minis.  By that standard, it would be pretty close to that asking price, not counting the insane number of magnetic weapon conversions.

But I do agree that finding someone willing to drop that kind of coin in one batch is going to be quite a trick.

well it isnt going to be me :p  though I was tempted.

Instead I bought a couple of army boxes to paint up myself, not quite the same but at least it was kinder to my wallet

agreed.... its a shame some of those models cant be bought anymore because I would paint them myself.  Never mind, I am sure he may well have to split that up.
