Strelets ACW

[Little Ted]

Does any one have any of the Strelets American Civil War sets they would be willing to swap or sell?

Good luck. Last time I looked they were pretty scarce and, therefore price wise, over my budget. You can get good metal sculpts for the same price

I think I may have some of them, if so they will be listed on ebay in the next 48 hrs.

Why don't you try to get a deal here by private messages and avoid ebay provision? Same money for you and cheaper for Little Ted

First sorry but I must of sold them already, I only have strelets Napoleonic command sets, my apologies for getting your hopes up. Kesko Why would I sell them privately for say £10 when I could sell them on Ebay for arguably double that ? , the logic escapes me .

Well, my first thought is that you want to help fellow painter/collector (first quote). But obviously you want to sell them to one who offers the most (second quote). Little Ted just wanted help and (maybe) a favor. And you didn't do any of it by stating you don't care who will buy it as long you make double amount of money

Kekso, who ever won them on ebay would be a collector who wanted them too. But, if someone knocked on your door and asked to buy your house because they needed somewhere to live and offered you x amount would you accept to help them out, or would you assuming your willing to sell, get a professional valuation first and proceed from there ? the principle is the same.

This is a topic where Little Ted asked for figures. Not whoever.

But, if someone knocked on your door and asked to buy your house

Comparing buying a house (place to live) with a box of plastic figures (toys) is missed analogy.
And guy didn't knocked on your door. You knocked on his = you replied on his post.

Your actions are rational in general but you had no intention to help Little Ted. And that's why I reacted.

Little Ted, if your in the states check the online shop Sprue Brothers.they have the union set 2 at regular price and in stock.

Unfortunatly I am not in the US, I will keep looking around though thanks.

I did wonder as to why post on here that you have them and then not want to sell them but never mind. I will find some eventually.

For some reason the link to Miniatuurwereld.com doesn't work for me Paul.

Only when I use this one it works: http://www.miniatuurwereld.com/

Did you ever buy from Dragons Cave?

I did some times, Peter. The shop is absolutely reliable. And Reinhard Hankofer is a nice guy.
