Beowuuf's brilliant bargins

Actually, not at all, just away to start selling a few things on e-bay from my childhood days, namely a) my Epic 40k army, b) Space Crusade board game, c) fourth edition M:tG card sets, d) D&D rulebooks and e) a Myth series based boardgame

Since Gambit's done it already, I don't feel so whorish about posting the links here. : )

Edit: I have a clean room and no more stuff to sell : )

Weird -- did you put up auctions for all the items you listed? There's nothing on offer if I click "View seller's other auctions"

Incidentally, I'd add some better keywords into your subject line and body text for the Ork stuff, such as "Warhammer", "Games Workshop" etc... you need to make it much easier for people to find it.

you sell magic cards? are some goodies amongst them? it's far better to make small packages with 1 good card as lure (dual-land, wheel of fortune, balance, ...) a nice uncommon (sol ring, demonic tutor) and some crap.
i keep mine, even my alpha timetwister which has more worth than anything other i possess^^

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 05, 2005 8:22 pm

eh, there was one guy that was going for the complete fourth edition set, so a few of the fantastic ones i traded for alot of lesser ones at the time...

Given the age of the cards and the fact there are no stand out ones, i think i will just sell them as a lot and see what i can get : ) Yopur way could probably net more money, but i just want the damn things gone and it seems hard to sell them to specialist places!
I need to go throguh the rare/uncommon list wit hthe cards infront of me and see what i can highlight

You've got some nice bids on there on the WH40K stuff already -- cool! I don't hold out much hop of you selling the D&D rulebooks though -- these are ten a penny on eBay

sucinum · Post by **sucinum** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 2:34 am

oh, seems to be that MtG was sold before 4th in britain - in germany, there was a "german 4th" edition, including revised-cards, meaning duals and stuff, meaning worthy

if you have some icy manipulators, edit them in - might be uncommon, but was reprinted not long ago and rocks very much

might not get an offer, there's missing a hot card to get attention.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:49 am

there are some sweet ones there, but really i'm relying on people knowing them...eh, its a ten day auction for that, i may go through and highlight some of the cooler ones at the weekend

i actually got a few good ones or multiples of the good rares but alas, traded away...multiple reverse damages!

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:51 am

i notice three people are watching the d&d stuff, so i do have hopes of a last minute bid...so i am still slightly hopeful of a sale...

zoom · Post by **zoom** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:33 pm

I want the rulebooks ( D&D). i sent to you a pm.
plz answer

Hey I also have a big MTG collection to get rid of... 4th Edition, Revised, The Dark, Fallen Empires, COMPLETE Chronicles collection and a few Ice Age (including Icy Manipulator).

Just like Beo I'd like to get rid of the whole set in one go. Think it might be possible Sucinum ? Interested in seeing the list ?

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 11:35 pm

Stick it on e-bay at least with a very high reserve price to see what you can get : )

Florent · Post by **Florent** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 12:22 am

I made some searches and watched a few auctions and it didn't look like they were selling really high... I'll watch yours and see what happens

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 7:56 am

depends what you term high...the ones i lookd around at were hitting between 40 - 80, but that could be a busy period, and besides, that not really high when you think of the money you pump in i guess : )

the trouble is that actual conventuion players, etc can buy the individual cards in specialist auctions really cheaply, or get new ones on sites...*sigh* so really its just goign to be normal players going 'ooh' and the cards
ah well

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 6:06 pm

bloody hell my epic stuff just doubled in bids while i was at work!
wahhaha, money money money money, all for wuffy, all for wuffy, wahahahahahaha...*cough*

Selie · Post by **Selie** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 7:16 pm

I'm going to start calling you Wuffy from now on.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 7:35 pm

lol, compared to some of the names i get called around here, it would be a pleasure : )

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 6:27 pm

Anyone wanting a crappy game based on humour books has only five hours to bid! Hurry!

Post by **cowsmanaut** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:36 pm

good sales pitch Fuzzface!.. I'll take 3!!

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:42 pm

LOL, it's all good, I think the guy who's been watching it has pounced at the last second. Snce I put an openign bid at what I would be happy with, then I'm happy to let it go to someone who wants it rather than dump it into a charity shop : )

I have this weird guilt though, I just sold my epic army for probably a very respectable fraction of what it cost me to buy new. I feel like I have to at least sent it in a gold box by the fastest stallion in the land now : )

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:52 pm

Oh sweet fuzzwuzzles!. People are doing last minute bids on the Space Crusade. It's horrible to watch...my guilt...rising.

I dunno if I will be able to sleep tonight!

Post by **Gambit37** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:58 pm

Wootty woot -- you did well on the Ork Army and Space Crusade -- how does that compare to buying them new? And don't feel guilty -- the whole point of eBay is to make money dammit!

How did you get the postage price? If it's a guess, you might find it's signifcantly more expensive than you think....especially for lead figures

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:11 pm

I will use the phrase 'respectable fraction' and try not to let my dark fuzzy side start rubbing himself all over with money while running around on the floor screaming 'great fuzzy wootwuzzles' and 'all for Wuufy, all for Wuufy'.

I got the postage price by a combination of weighing the stuff myself then checking out the post office website/asking at the local branch. If it was a lower cost auction (like if I had got my original bid price only) I might have been worried about postage, but really I'm not worried if I have underestaimated the postage now! It will be a costless learning experience : (

Post by **Gambit37** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:17 pm

Cool, cool, coolio!

I am going to start using the phrase great fuzzy wootwuzzles in conversation. Lovely!

I have a nice Alchemist 5 channel amplifier for sale...

2x100watts RMS into 6ohms front
3x80watts RMS into 6ohms centre/rear surround.
0.08%thd

75 quid including p+p (UK) I hear? Thats a bargain!

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:22 pm

HEY! You can't hijack my thread...I could still get money for the crappy game dammit...all for Wuufy, all for Wuufy!

Funnily Gambit, right when I was thinking of putting stuff up I asked around about postage to a few people, including 'sending' you a pm...I think I did the 'write it but forget to click send and instead click 'dm.com forums' link' thing. Totally forgot I did that til now! : )

Everyone else just buys though and couldn't advise me, except for one friend who just said to check what anyone else had up as their costs!

Post by **PaulH** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 11:25 pm

One thing that bugs me is postage costs that are too high. If you have a heavy item, just stick a nominal amount as p+p (ie 4.99). You will get more bids.
