When I see Posts like this I laugh and shake my head

Post by flyingwhale »

Tell me if you guys have seen this before... not going to lie I tend to be guilty of it sometimes too but these type of trading posts always make laugh.

Example

Haves:
OOP crap I found in a dumpster
Random models that everyone has with bad paint job probably impossible to strip
more crap may have passed through a dogs digestive sysem not a vet so not sure.

Wants:
UNPAINTED AND UNASSEMBLED MUST BE NOS
The newest models that may have just come out yesterday that for some reason someone would want to trade after buying it an hour ago
Forgeworld!!! (it's expensive!!)
May accept first born child

You take my junk and give me nice stuff!!


I will not ship first and I expect you to cover my shipping but I will only tell you this after we PM that reaches a 50 PM string.


Look familiar???

Anyway it makes lol :-D

Lower rating? You ship first.

I found one of those you speak of.....He wants everything NiB or un assembeled, but what hes not telling everyone is that all is stuff is older, the "original sculpt or original version" oop

now I'm not trying to name names here but this is a post in one of the sub forums on here. And yes he is giving a decent deal to someone buying the miniatures, but look at the wants.

HAVE:

Cryx Starter Army (all models are bare metal and partially assembled, other conditional items listed per model, retail value listed per model)

Includes:
-- $13.99 Lich Lord Ashphyxious (original sculpt)
-- $54.99 Deathjack Heavy Helljack (may be missing some of the spikes on the backs of his hands, otherwise complete)
-- $29.99 Seether Heavy Helljack (may be missing some the spikes from his back, right shoulder spike was a miscast and fixed to look like battle damage, otherwise complete)
-- $17.99 (2) Deathrippers Light Helljacks (original metal version)
-- $8.99 (1) Defiler Light Helljack (original metal version)
-- $9.99 Skarlock Thrall
-- $16.99 Bane Lord Tarterus
-- $49.99 Bane Knight Unit Box (6 models)
-- $29.99 Bile Thrall Unit Box (6 models)
---TOTAL RETAIL VALUE: $232.91

If you buy the lot, I'd be willing to accept $125.00, and that includes shipping. I'm open to partial trades with $$$, or potentially even just trades if you have the selective few items I'm looking for. Please note, these models do not include the newest MKII cards with them; I've had these since they were released new back before the ruleset change.

WANTS: (items with *** I will trade in your favor)

Warmachine/Hordes
Skorne Ferox (prefer NiB, will consider assembled/primed if provided pictures, not interested in painted at all)
Skorne Animantarax*** (NiB or unassembled only)
Retribution Heavy Rifle Crew
Cygnar Storm Strider*** (NiB or unassembled only)
Cygnar Stormwall Colossal*** (NiB or unassembled only)
Khador War Wagon/Battle Carriage/Whatever it's called*** (NiB or unassembled only)
Khador Conquest Colossal*** (NiB or unassembled only)

Soda Pop Miniatures
Tell me what you've got, I'm interested in pretty much anything that is NiB

Other
Hirst Arts terrain molds
40k or other gaming terrain, prefer unpainted or unassembled (pics if painted)

Thanks for looking guys!

Really, this is hardly the worst offender-- a solid sale price and willing to trade in favor.

I expect honesty about models' conditions, thank you.

If I don't respond in a day or two, please check back, I've forgotten-sorry.

This was never intended to call anyone out.... I agree though I have seen worse.

If I have old used primed models I usually try to trade in your favor if you have NOS/NIB models, I personally think that show makes the other person feel good about trading with you.
Lower rating you trade first.
If I have the higher rating and I'm buying you still ship 1st. 9 year member no negative feedback if you can't trust that, then I can't buy from you.
Offers stand for 48 hours after that if no communication has passed all trades are null and void.
