I don't understand who buys his auctions but somebody must to make it worthwhile. Its annoying that private bidding stops you seeing if there is any interaction between his 7+ ebay accounts

Honestly, since it's mostly BIN, he doesn't need any interaction, just patience and an unlimited supply of suckers.

What's the reason to have 7+ accounts then?

I'd guess it's an attempt to set the price. If you see (for instance) Plague Towers from three different accounts at 69.99 BIN, you may just believe that's the going rate. It's only if you know the accounts are all operated by the same person that you can see that he is the only one with that high a price.

Has the Nurgle bubble burst? Are prices going down?

Yep. If this keeps up it is time to hedge your recent Nurgle investments :) Too bad I cannot muster this sort of energy when it comes to the Stock market.

Or, wait a minute! I spy with my little eye a double mouldline along the wheels of the thing.

Ok, I've done my bit, below reply to my outrage about packs of Warhounds price on eBay. I will either let it go or write something back about ethics. How greedy can one get? Any suggestions?

From muppet number 1:
--------
HI 2 models and we are allowed on ebay to re-sell any items at our chosen price.
we purchased these before the casting tools broke about 30 pkts early last year but before all these sold forge world make changes and improved casting tools.(whihc was unusal step for them)

please purchase from Forgeworld

but your approach is not necessary as only fake items can be reported to ebay but genuine items can be sold at what every price a seller likes ,,very similar to items such as Iphones,xboxes etc etc that you see on ebay

very best regards

From muppet number 2:
--------
You may wish to purchase a book on business or economics, perhaps start with a fairly simple one though. Strangley enough business doesnt sell with the intention to lose money. To explain a little further as to the reasoning behind this particular listing they where bought a long time ago for a project I never finished and when I decided to sell them they where going for more than £40 each on eBay, as they were out of production as a matter of fact some of those I have where actually themselves bought on eBay at or above this price as this was the only way to get them. It may well be that forge world have recreated the mold for these subequently and are selling them for the price you have mentioned but that is hardly relevant the only result will be that no one will actually buy them off me. Just because I have listed something for sale doesnt mean you or anyone else is obliged to buy them, buyers are free to choose whether they buy or not. The description clearly states what they are and how many are for sale so nothing has been hidden from anyone and no attempt has been made to mislead so please feel free to report me to eBay as I am breaching no policy, procedure or any of eBays terms and conditions or for that matter an local, national, european or international laws so you arent really going to get much joy, for that matter I actually bend over backwards to ensure I adhere to all the policies or exceed them as reputation is very important to a successful business. If you need any further clarification on this matter please feel free to ask and I will attempt to enlighten you.

Wow, those are both impressive, but the second far more so.

It's good to be reminded that some people don't need a reason to be... You know, I'll just self-censor here.

Very hard to reasonably judge the content or tone of those response messages out of context, without seeing what you sent him/accused him of in the first place. Reads like you accused at least one of them of something?

Why on earth will they care?
