some juicy ebay-auctions

Agreed.

So if you’re a completist collector, you’re doomed.

ever heard of … mount doom?
that’s where completist collectors are put to rest, to fuel its eternal fire … which explains the inscription in the one ring.

alas, I think I may belong to this “doomed” category of completist collectors…. but with time patience sometimes it pays… but usually it mostly “costs” than pays…

it pays the cost (to be completist boss).

I actually read through a majority of this thread!! I missed out on so much through the years with some great (and not so great) deals popping up. It was interesting to see how the Mithril figures would rise and fall over those years with the years 2008-2009 & 2013 seemingly to be low points as far as prices go. I enjoyed reading Milo’s informative posts and treasure (attic!) finds as he went about completing his collection. Too bad the old ebay links don’t work anymore as I would have loved to see some of the actual items not just you guys discussion them. I have much to learn as I begin my own quest to fill my collection! 😮 All the help will be GREATLY appreciated.

I hope this thread doesn’t become abandoned as there are still those like myself that will benefit from all these eyes on the lookout for deals and rare finds (though Yves is helping me out with some of those!!).

These Rohirim a from “The Horse-lords” series.

I have looked but I didn’t really know where to start looking as the seller had no numbers listed. This is how one feels when they first start out collecting Mithrils I’m sure!

Here is a new batch of loose early M-series figures now up on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/cynwyllyn/m.html?item=201653881780&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

The ones I am interested in are M19, 35A&B, 55, 56, 57, 75, 84, 96, 107, 110, 112, 118B, 148, 194. What do you all think are reasonable prices for these since they are loose? I looked them up in the database and they appear complete except 118B but I expect I can find the Bill Ferny to go with him elsewhere.
