Dude....IT WAS AN AUCTION! I was the only watcher and the only bidder. I bid like 20 max plus 6 shipping and I didnt have one other bid at $12......

I cant believe it. I have plenty of Haradrim, Orcs, and bits so Im just going to re sell that and keep the metals.

wow! that's pretty impressive! looks like you'll make a nice profit if you sell the extras

Thats for sure man. I find a lot of good auctions that either the seller doesnt feel like showing the full extent of his merchandise, or the buyers are too lazy to look if they dont find the perfect auction immediately.

I do a little extra work and it often pays off.
All this auction means to me is a little for me, some extra work, then more money to complete other armies Im working on. Happy times.

A few months ago I picked up Gildor, Halbarad, 3 Rangers of the North and 6 Dunedain for just over £30. I was pretty pleased with myself!

A couple of years ago a seller was selling NIB Mumaks which added up to be AUD$40 each (the aussie dollar was pretty strong against the us dollar). At the time, here in Australia, they were retailing for $110 each. I bought four of them....

Well I just got 12 metal berserkers for £5 but they're described as badly painted but I suppose I can strip them so it's probably my best purchase so far.

Yeah even badly painted, a strip and some elbow grease for that price is awesome. Thats pretty much two berserkers per pound.

I also got 28 uruk-hai with swords and shields for £8 from the same guy so for £13 I think I did good. The uruk-hai are quite well painted too.
