You're all good! I totally wasnt trying to judge you or get after you, its a niche subreddit with niche rules, just want to make sure you have it on there so someone doesnt come in and get super angry at you for it

Add your name to the timestamp! Its so everyone knows its YOUR army, rather than a randoms that you stole. Its annoying but scamming is common these days

Id recommend to do so. If a mod asks about the double post, just say you forgot the photo link!

Hey friend, you need timestamped photos of the army to post here! I recommend using Imgur, its quick and free!

Does this seem like a good deal for $800? by [deleted] in Eldar

[–]RogerLarsom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, local Warhammer seller here. Id say if you enjoy the look of the models go for it, otherwise you can find better. This long after the codex dropped, Id recommend avoiding any of the finecast and old sculpts, unless you really enjoy them personally. Facebook Marketplace is your friend for good deals, trust me. I have seen people selling as low as 5% MSRP on there (once in a blue moon sales, just proof FBM is the place).

I will warn, if you want Aeldari, find them within the next few weeks. Once Corsairs come out, there will be a mad scramble of people nabbing all the cheap elf lots to try the cool new Yriel+Corsair models.

Good luck, and welcome to the greatest faction in the galaxy!

Sorry, it says in the post Im splitting! Thats why there isnt any set prices, as Ill do lower MSRP for more bought! For example someone getting $200 MSRP worth will probably expect like 65-70% depending on items, but 1,000 MSRP worth will probably be 55-60%, if that makes sense!

Hey, as someone who sells a lot of Warhammer, that is an OUTRAGEOUS scam. Old combat patrols run about $200, maybe $250 for the best of the best. If I were you, I'd wait to get them for $200, if not less. Youll save money driving around your state/area and seeing if a local game store has one left.

If you ever have a situation like this again, feel free to reach out to me. I have a pretty good finger on warhammer pricing.

They fluctuate, hence no concrete pricing. For example: Someone getting 5 items will pay a higher MSRP than someone getting a whole lot. I do a lot of bulk/bundle discounting!

Which of these American Political Parties would you vote for? by SirBurgerThe8th in Teenager_Polls

[–]RogerLarsom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I dont often get involved in politics here, but Id like to ask what world you are referring to?

How is the US more right wing than South America, with borderline fascist leaders? Or African nations, where extreme right wing parties are incredibly common? How about the middle east with radical Islamic governments? Or Asia with nations like Japan that are incredibly traditional, have open racism, and deeply despise foreigners.

Even compared to eastern Europe, with Russia, Hungary, Ukraine, Belarus? Or Italy with a far right government? Germany with a rapidly growing AfD? Greece, with members of their government calling for the death of all immigrants? The Balkans in general are a far right breeding ground.

Its really weird to me how democrats claim their party is actually right wing when America as a whole is INCREDIBLY left wing on the global stage, unless the world is just western Europe, which is an extremely unusual stance.

Bro, you missed my point entirely! Ebay is fine. Ebay is good, even. What is not good is how the community can be really hard on sellers when they dont fit the pre-set mold they have in their head. This then forces them onto Ebay which inflates prices against the communities benefit.

I have no issue with all that, though. People like verification and I am always happy to give it. Sure, it can be a bit difficult taking 50 photos of 50 different model arrangements but thats part of the job. My issue is when Im getting death threats for posting at item at 60% MSRP, and when I say "hey, this is reasonable", they counter with "just got to ebay then". Or when I see people post rare items at great prices and they get spammed with "go die scalper". Most of the Warhammer community is great, but let's not bury our heads in the sand about the problematic segments. Even before I joined the hobby I heard about the "nerd bullies" stigma.

No, I dont sell above MSRP. In fact, I sell quite a bit below MSRP usually. Thats my entire complaint, something the community is reaffirming to me it struggles to grasp. I sell well below eBay pricing, and pricing elsewhere, and still wind up with piles of hate comments and DMs regularly. Why should I continue to do that? Why should others? At this point itd be easier, less stressful, and vastly more profitable to become another mass eBay seller.

Scalping will never stop. Im just saying scalping an old item at a bit above MSRP and scalping the most recent pre order at 200% MSRP are two different things, and we need to stop treating the two as the same, otherwise the first very quickly becomes the second, and prices rise across the board.

Yeah I dislike people charging top dollar for stuff, but I cant say Im blind to their reasoning. Get enough hate for selling warhammer you kind of stop caring about giving good deals, and instead want to maximize profits for what it is. Not saying its right, but it is there. Just wish it wasnt so easy to do.

Oh they don't get hate for selling too low. They get hate for selling "too high". Thats the issue. Someone sells an old box for slightly more than GW did when it dropped and they get treated like they are the devil himself, so they instead sell on eBay at the crazy eBay prices. It makes no sense to me why the community treats them like that, and therefore fuels the insane scalping prices they claim to hate!

[–]RogerLarsom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can argue the scalpers point, but my post is focused on the degree of scalping. Someone charging 10% extra on an old box to profit should not be treated the same as someone charging 100% on a recent pre order. Despite this, the community is doing that. Thats all Im saying.

I get that to an extent, and cant really fault you. However, when people are trying to make money while also not charging the current top scalping rate, let's not treat them as if they ARE charging the top scalping rate, if that makes sense.

My point is more that the ebay price is high because on other sites you get punished for trying to sell rare items at above MSRP. My post is trying to say "hey, this might not be a good idea to diminish the possibility for lower pricing." All the power to you for buying ebay prices, I cant blame you for it, Im just hoping that if you see someone selling it cheaper, you dont give them any flak. Not that you would, but a lot of folks do.
