Hi Paul and welcome

TBH there are always bargains to be had on Ebay, and seeing as most of the members on here are not from the UK the added shipping prices will mean that the price may even be more then the usual Ebay prices

PM King Darkness. I hear he has the hook up. that's why he's soooo Awesome!

thanks for the really fast replys!
sorry but where is the want to buy section?
i always get outbid on ebay at the last minute and it seems when i want to buy theres not much on there but when im skint everything appears lol!
thanks again

The WTB section is a part of the Commerce area.
If you go into the Commerce area it will bring up 4 sections(well 5 if you include the links section), click on the WTB/Trade one and you can then start a thread stating what you are looking for etc.

Also as GG stated, some good bargains can be found on evilbay too

Don't listen to thrifty. He's pulling your leg. Even if he isn't, King can't read very well. Anything longer than a short sentence gets ignored. How awesome is that?

You gotta be more diverse with your searches...deffo include 'weta' in your search as well, seems these were produced by 'Sideshow Weta' not just Sideshow...or just 'Lord of the rings statue' or 'lord of the rings bust' etc etc In short think outside the box a little bit

Here's an example for you:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/lord-of-the-...3|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50

Is that Sauron the £175 one? Is so then that is a decent enough price...especially considering the item itself rocks

Nope afraid not...it has literally taken me years to get my LOTR Sideshow Weta collection to my satisfaction...and i'm still looking for some pieces still

I respect that you want perfect condition, but just remember that some of these items are 6-7 years old so perfect is sometimes subjective considering their age
