Just spoke with Ebay trying to find out about next free listing day.

As the item is selling for over £100 then the listing fee is £1.30. So all we save by waiting for free listing day is £1.30

Private sellers starting auctions off at 99p get free listings anyways, on first 100 items, just thought I'd mention that.

So I'm going to go ahead and list this fella now, instead of waiting till (he couldn't say) next promotion is.

-So the day and time I propose is this Tuesday night at 7pm.
-Im gonna start the bidding at £300, just below the buying price of new like Herne said.
-I'll then ask Hunter to post it on CoolMini'. and link to the auction.
-And then anyone else who has contacts or suggestions on other social media, and who wouldn't mind linking it in would be awesome.
-Talus, time to earn your bit, I delegate to you, as your English is better than mine and I know you're bored to come up with a suitable and inspiring piece of salesmanship to sell the thing to an eskimo. Maybe TW could help too

And have I covered everything?

should be easy enough to do, aside from it now being green, i know every detail on that titan

or i should, i built it


you'll have a pm tonight with something, because despite what you say, im a little busy right now!

its good to be busy.. good for the mind

thank you for that in advance.

You could just save time and the £1.30 by just shipping it directly to me for the cost of the shipping. I would be happy to give it a good smoke free home for it to live and thrive in.

Nige - did u list - free listing this weekend....

Herne, read back, first 100 items for private sellers are always free

Erm - yeah - listing at 99p no reserve - u wanna sell it for 99p?

Yes Free weekend Nige.

Not trying to de rail the thred but have a look at this madness for the Knight I have put on Evil bay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201063194915? ... 1558.l2649

This is what happens when you register it with Coolminiornot.

Do not put War-hound on for 99p

Jesus h wept! Buddy that's awesome for u, but god some people r nuts! Don't get me wrong -awesome paint job as ever! Much respect! But what is driving people to pay so much for painted or unusual gw on flea-bay! Today I saw a pre release of forge worlds latest heresy book at 46bids and a rate of £170!!! Fw release in a week or 2 for an already exorbitant £70 as it is, why would u pay a ton more? I just don't get people sometimes....

Well Cool Mini Or Not is US Based but has A massive international client base. This bid war is agents 2 Swedish people.

This scenario is a modeler painters Wet dream.

Guessing the selers feed back also helps.

People want new things Now not tomorrow.

I am seriously missing a trick! Lol:

Wow, awesome Si. Lol you can buy two more now.

I'm starting bidding at £300

But all I save for the free listing is £1.30. So I'm gonna list it Tuesday night.

Fair snuff - it's a drop in the ocean compared to the full Titan price. Only worth worrying about against small priced items. Good luck with it.

Super mega well done hunter! £300+ for your knight! That's gotta be some kind of record!

Hunter, how many hours went into that knight? Total assembly and painting.

3 Weeks from start to finish at about 5hrs a Day.

There all Bloody mad. £300 its ludicrous. Not going to spend it till they have the model.
and do not wine about any thing. That sort of money being spent they must have some mental expectation.

God help me.

sold as seen... u didn't say it was made with real gold leaf or anything did you?

God help me.

So, depending on if you include weekends or not that is anywhere from 75 hours to as much as 105 hours. at a total of £300. That means minus the cost of model(£85), net is £215.

£215/75 hours = £2.86 per hour??
£215/105 hours = £2.14 per hour??

While I agree that the amount spent is a bit crazy on the surface, given the hours you are indicating you spent, honestly I don't think they paid you enough.

I was thinking the same thing!

A normal work day of 8 hours would net £17.12 for a weekly (5 day) salary of £85.60 which is not really enough to live on, is it?

It's never going to be a job that pays and can only realistically supliment your own hobby fund. I've often thought about getting into terrain building. I'm not sure if I'd be happy with the hassle for such little money per hour.

That was pretty much the point we were making. Kind of a "don't quit your day job" comment. If it pays for more models and you enjoy the building and painting part enough, then it's a worthwhile endeavor. Just that it's never going pay all the family's bills.

And the bottom line is that it was just incredible that the bidding went up to £300!

Im doing another. lol

Well, now that you're experienced at it, you should be able to do it in half the time!

We will see.

Sorry Mr King for hijacking this thred.

We'll just shift it over to your imperial knight thread!
