Oh - I have no doubt in my mind that a lot of these eBay sellers have ghost accounts where they purposefully bid on their own items and drive the price up. If they wind up winning the bid, well, I suppose the have to pay eBay a little bit, but otherwise no harm.

Yeah, I doubt that most would care. And from what people have told me about the way eBay settles disputes (pretty much eeny-meeny-miny-moe), I doubt that they would really investigate unless the price is in the thousands.

Just makes it all the more important to stick to your guns and not overbid.

The ultimate trick to getting good deals on E-bay is patience. If you put yourself on any sort of time limit you'll get taken to the cleaners. If you're in a hurry, it's better to just buy new from another company unless you ABSOLUTELY have to have GW Official Stuff. Best advice there is on Ebay. Agreed. I have gotten a lot of minis from Ebay but have always just casually perused, taking my time. Putting 20 plus things in my watch list and sometimes don't end up bidding on a single one. Or sometimes bid on one or two but don't end up winning. Personally I really enjoy looking through minis and seeing what is out there. So yes, I probably win one auction out of 50 that I put on my watch list which takes a good deal of time but it is a labor or love and I always get a good deal.
