…. http://global.ebay.com/Mithril-Miniatures-Rohan-bundle-7-mounted-mini-Lord-of-the-Rings-GW-Warhammer/230745107891/item great opportunity for all Rohan lovers

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

i think this is shilling (hiking up the price) — the user has zero feedback points … i could be wrong, but you don’t usually start your bidding career with mithril miniatures.

Maybe, but how can I verify ? Shall I raise an alert to ebay ?

I hadn’t realised that the Rohan riders had become quite so valuable. There’ always been a cachet about them, mind you, which is why my wargame Rohirrim aren’t Mithrils – though that has more to do with their rarity when I started to build my Rohan army some years ago, rather than their price.

…Well if n**n was part of a devious device to force the price up it backfired, because he ended up having to buy them. Seems more likely that he was just keen to get them, and kept bidding up and up until he finally overtook your bid, Master Milo. After all, his final cluster of bids all occurred within about a minute and a half.

But that’s the way it goes … placing a highest bid which automatically acts on somebody else’s bids … then you can sit back and await … of course you first have to decide about what amount of cony-things you’re willing to spend for some piece of metal …
Well, Master Barliman, those old mounted Rohirrim have been quite valuable for about a decade, as far as I know ….

both options are possible — sometimes shiller overbid, too. i am not concerned about the bidding itself, more about the zero feedback profile. but that’s just professional paranoia.

I was misled by the fact thaty I bought some cheaply on eBay a couple of years ago! Must have been my lucky day. I actually gave those away to another Pony patron at the time who was likely yo make better use of them than I would. That or was being bonkers that day.

depends on how lucky one is … i have seen some go for less than 20 €—but you need to have someone who doesn’t know their name and value.

Just noticed I can’t type very well today. I think I must need some more scrumpy. I’m too sober by half.

Thanks a lot, Milo and Cameosis… It won’t be possible to finish my collection without the help of many guys from here – And Mainly thanks to our beloved Attic Warden – Never will be grateful enough to him.

As soon as I get it, I will take a photo of all my rohirrim together, of course
