Not trying to hijack the thread, but this rather begs the question: Is it unethical to bootleg miniatures that are "OOP?" |
| pzivh43 | 18 Jul 2023 7:36 a.m. PST |
Define unethical? If it sells for $1,500 USD, that means someone valued it at that price. |

I'm feeling Buyer's Remorse just thinking about it! |

Hey you get free shipping! |

My only understanding of "bootleg" as regards miniatures, is they are unauthorized recasts. The lots look to be MISR and MOC. FoW has gone to plastic on their figures and metal is reselling at a premium. |
| pzivh43 | 18 Jul 2023 9:44 a.m. PST |
Yeah, bootlegging or recasting, is highly unethical, IMO. |
| Black Bull | 18 Jul 2023 1:59 p.m. PST |
I've got one of those somewhere interesting to what it actually sells for |
| Kuznetsov | 18 Jul 2023 3:44 p.m. PST |
Thing is I'm not into the plastic stuff as much but they said that no one would pay for metal. :( |
| Todd636 | 18 Jul 2023 4:02 p.m. PST |
Depends how you look at it. You could pay only $66.83 USD. Per month. For 24 months. |
| Kuznetsov | 18 Jul 2023 5:39 p.m. PST |
But wait, there's more. Act now. |
| Endless Grubs | 18 Jul 2023 5:49 p.m. PST |
I assume it's pro-painted and each figure has its own family tree…. |

The listing was pulled by the seller for "errors". He might have noticed this thread on TMP or mistakenly added an extra zero. |

I remember the great Tiger 1 (P) shortage a few years back , when people were paying $100 USD for 1 . Which I couldn't understand , as at the time it could only be used as a HQ tank in 1 list .

@microgeorge thanks. $150 USD makes more sense… |
 Yellow Admiral | 20 Jul 2023 2:07 p.m. PST |
Maybe to us, but the seller thought $300 USD made more sense:

Not to hijack the hijacked thread, I've got quite a bit of OOP stuff. Aside from throwing them up for 1023102104 dollars, what is a "fair" price these days for metal? Does it command a premium? I for one love the weight of it. Was wondering what other peoples thoughts were. |
| TSD101 | 23 Aug 2023 8:22 p.m. PST |
what is a "fair" price these days for metal? Does it command a premium? There's no easy answer. Its going to depend heavily on what nation and what specific blister it is. Early war stuff is getting harder to find as it hasn't been produced in years, but many mid/late war models have come back in plastic or are still common in resin/metal. Blisters with heroes like Patton, Rommel, Wittman, etc usually command a premium. Old limited edition dice tins too. You'd have to list what you got for me to help you. |
| Krablauch | 24 Aug 2023 9:51 a.m. PST |
Shoot me an email, kwnicholson@ the gmails. And I'll get you a list. |
