A lot of sellers seem to do this – just a way of making more money, I guess. But if you want to see silly prices, just look at any sale that has to come from the US. Some American sellers charge aenough to hire a small Lear jet to deliver the goods in person.

you’re absolutely right — it’s been a while since i bought anything on ebay from a seller outside europe …

i had followed the auction above because i don’t have the handbook, but then decided against bidding, because € 12 (including shipping) was too much in my opinion (and i need change to pay for drinks here, too). then i saw the relisting for € 2 and thought, “oh, good!” — until i saw the “amended” shipping costs …

when it comes to ebay, people might decide in a whim, but come on … we’re not THAT blind, now are we?

i have sent a message asking why the shipping costs were increased by € 4.00, by the way. am curious if i’ll get a reply.

here’s the reply(i’m not sure that i understood the reasoning, but anyway):

“Yes, the earlier price was 6€, and now it is 1,99€. That is the reason.
Sending it is 6€ and handling in 4€, and the price is 2€, while in the previous listing the handling (putting it in an envelope and bringing it to the post office 5km far) was included in the price. The resulting price is the same than before, but the topics are better justified.”

i will rather not comment on this … besides, Master cameosis, we’re not that blind, are we.
and right you are too, Master Barliman. in future i’ll save some money to buy a lear-jet just to make the seller sure not to have to spend any money for p&p … though it’s charged … but, the problem is, there’s never attached any detail on Ebay about the nearest airport to the seller’s place – I will definitely not comment in public here about some US-sellers … they’ll have lawyers at hand to lay a hand on my non-leased Lear-jet … alas … about 20€ for shipment + another more some €s for package etc. for a figure worth of some dimes? … nay, never. <-- full stop

… sorry … I forgot to mention that it was what I witnessed a few times … not referring to Master Cameosis’ problem …

yes, those are Milo minis, of course

I confirm these are miniatures from my attic stock. I have more to sell for later weeks. I chose to put starting price not too low as I prefer to keep a mini for myself rather than selling it for 2-5€.
I hope these starting prices are not too high. My goal is to be able to buy more MS figures and also to convince my wife that I was not that crazy to buy so many extra minis.

Of course, every MMP member is welcome to place bids.
I any of you win some of my auctions, I would offer you shipping cost with great pleasure.

this is the one that our friend milo has bid on.

I lost the rohan riders auctions at 187,43€ + shipping.
I could not bid more for these 5 vintage riders. Too bad

Ouch! £156 – someone must have really wanted them badly. I’d never have expected the price to rise that high.

I agree Barliman, but single vintage Rohan riders often reached 45€ in past year, so I guess I will have to keep my broken/repaired [mith]M26[/mith], [mith]M30[/mith] horses for a while. 😆

Current auction for unprimed [mith]M30[/mith] confirms high value of these rohan riders: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360433761168
I hope Imisel will get it at the end.
