eBay Bargains, Deals, etc.

not that I'm an expert but.. the printing does look kinda.. modern.. Sublimation printing or transfer more then the printing I would expect from the 80s and 90s.. Kiln Craft were a fairly big company.. I've seen there mugs from the 70s and it has the same texture to the printing (well, I say Printing.. they didn't print in them days.. but if you have an old mug, you can feel the texture on the 'printing' and in photos, it normally reflects light differently.

I think that fact the images are a bit iffy and there are alot of the same figure probably helped keep the price low ^_^ still a good deal for you

Oh, I don't know, the enlargements provide a fair degree of detail and enable a fair assessment of what they are and their condition, so I'm looking forward to seeing them in my hand, I also like repeat figures as it allows my painting to differentiate between my masses of mono-pose regiments.:grin:

while it's kinda nice to get what you can, My person view is 'What would I be more happy about paying IF I was in the market".. or 'What do I want for this?". It's nice when you get a bargain, so probably nice when you give someone one ^_^

Though I can't say about that one, I think most the range isn't extremely rare (was issued for some time) so.. £10-£15 is an average (though I wouldn't like paying that for one of the range...)
 
fair enough ^_^
I think there used to be a few places which kinda recorded eBay data so you could kinda see how much some stuff HAD sold for.. but I don't know how well and eBay themselves don't keep a great archive of this (after a while, think of how much data that would be.... and they probably don't use Magnetic tape for archive storage these days (Says a guy with a working (well, kinda. Need to replace a drive belt) cassette drive with some tapes) for a PC).
 
I've wondered from time to time about writing software to record historic data for miniatures on ebay - it'd be quite interesting to see what things "really" sell for on average. I think ebay themselves only go back a month or so on the sold data searches and certainly they remove old listings. I wonder if they do keep an archive of everything however - it'd be quite interesting to know. Such things could easily be on tape, we still use it extensively for archiving, LTO10's compressed capacity is 100TB per tape and with tape library/autoloaders it can all be very neatly automated.

Anyhow the price of sheep aside (ouch) I saw this seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/hamilcar in the USA has some quite interesting oldhammer up for grabs - some Bugmans and other Dwarfs ending over the next day or two and not (yet?) at crazy prices. So might be of interest to our USA members.
