I'd bet it will be gone within the next few hours.

Might, might not

I got GS, KK, RotW and FH for 200 +shipping

well, I guess one has to know the market pretty well to fork over $550 for those boxes.
Frozen horror could sell for 400.
game system can go for 90.
and another 60 each of the other two expansions.
that's $610, and with the ebay fees and all, it might not be such a good idea for a reseller.
But a person wanting the frozen horror, could buy this lot and then resell the rest to make some money back.

I got my BQP and QEP for $30 each, but it was through the HQ newsgroup I think and before prices skyrocketed

I would have wanted to be in America while they sold for 15$ addon for core game. As they were released I mean

Well, the maximum amount of money I was willing to throw at this has been outbid (because the
shipping is half of what I was willing to pay, unfortunately).

Hope someone on here might be able to get it cheap.

That seems interesting: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Helblitzen-He ... 27e94b3283
The shield/swords pieces look very much like the ones from the men-at-arms.

I was looking at some of the HQ stuff on ebay today and couldn't believe the prices on some of this stuff. $8.99 + shipping for a single tile. Seriously?? Who would pay that? One of the tiles was the key tile from the Elf quest pack. A single square for nine bucks! That is some pricy cardboard. Or you can come here and print it yourself. Here's to the Inn |_P

I agree wholeheartedly.
Completionists among collectors are always those who induce pity in me.
I daresay that most HQ fans do not like the BQ and EQ figures the teensiest bit as much as the Citadel ones, but yet, they must have those two packs complete and pristine.
I hate those figures, the rest is printing, I do not understand the value some people put into these things. It's ridiculous.
Here's to the inn. |_P

I'll go so far as to say, every collector (who, by definition, should like the thing he collects) has a personal responsibility towards the thing he collects and the value thereof.
As long as some moronic idiot buys that tile, the prices will remain ridiculous.
And here's why I call such a person a moronic idiot very freely: The seller puts his own collection out there, thinking, "I don't really wanna get rid of that stuff, but if some dumbass pays that price, I'm gonna seperate from it anyway and replace it WITH SOMETHING PRINTED ON THAT SITE I FOUND. HA!"
These things have gone crazy since - guess what - eBay has made its price policy so, that you don't have to pay a fee upfront for listing your stuff. At least in Germany, I don't know from listing prices in NA.

I am grateful for the support the Inn gives most people. How do you end up valuing something? I find it's all relative. A diamond or gold has no value to me personally since I can't use it and does nothing for me. If I were to have them in abundance the only reason I would care is that I know other people are willing to pay for them. That's the same way it goes with HQ. For most of us I'm sure we can't just keep dishing out $$ to get what we want. If however you didn't have to worry about the money how many of us would pay a bit more (supply and demand here...) for a product that's not being produced anymore. The same holds true for classic cars for my dads generation. The reality is most of us have limited budgets need to work within those and as such the prices make it difficult for us to pick up anything easily. I took advantage of it and sold an entire HQ set of my own. I took all the best of everything and put it all together and got a premium for it, so I could get other minis and supplies and paid some bills with it. I just keep an eye out for low(er) priced HQ stuff and hope to get some eventually. There aren't any NA Ebay fees to list things up to a certain number which is why I keep a few revolving items listed.
