Is that a common thing from that seller? I've had a saved search for a particular special edition of a book finally turn up something after over a year of waiting, and it's from that seller. Seeing that, I'm not sure how artificially inflated the price is.

Postage a bit steep too!

I've bought other stuff from NobleKnight at reasonable prices…mostly Essex 15mm and Otherworld Miniatures. Is the pack OOP? That might explain things…

Looks like the pack may have been re-numbered DA-127.

I've noticed that Foundry has done that with other packs, maybe when they re-did the molds (?).

And postage probably includes a "handling" fee to offset the eBay seller's fee. That's the way I do it, but I definitely call it postage and handling.

I'll never buy another thing from them. One bad experience was enough.

When I was looking for a copy of the Chain of Command rules they had a copy that was listed for more than ordering one from the manufacturer in England and shipping it the the U.S., and that was BEFORE adding shipping in from Noble Knight. For a currently produced game, that's a little extreme.

I have always had good luck w/ them,but Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!Thay has to be a misprint I hope.

All the other Foundry packs are the same price. Crazy!

That has got to be a spreadsheet error fed into an automatic uploading system. I buy from them all the time and at normally reasonable prices.

I think their trouble is that they seem to be buying items at full retail and then trying to sell them with the currency conversion and shipping.

This one is totally crazy…and marked down to boot. Woo Hoo!

I've always thought NK prices were on the higher side but sometimes it's for something not readily available.

Pricing and shipping costs are usually on the high side. Has been that way for awhile. Maybe they think everything is some.kind of rare collectible.

For me the best (used) Foundry trader is DaveT auction
