| Greeting all,
I am seeking some advise here, I am trying to buy some minis, as singles, but I am having a hard time finding a good store that has both good prices and good stock. Most of the have one of them, but not both. Also it is important that the store is realiable. (trust worthy).
Any advice?

| The easy answer, if you have access to ebay, is Auggie's store there.
http://stores.ebay.com/Auggies-Games-n-Movies_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZQ2d999QQftidZ2QQtZkm
His prices can't be beat and his reliability is unquestionable. He's gotta be the best mini seller out there.
Meh, you'll have to copy/paste the link. I dunno how to make it clickable on the new forum. | |

| | Evildani is right on, most places have good prices and no stock or vice versa. Wraithborne is right about Auggies as well - Auggies has good prices and selection. And his service is amazing. I ordered some Bloodwar mini's from him last week and got them two days later. I highly reccommend Auggies. | |

Greeting all,
I
am seeking some advise here, I am trying to buy some minis, as singles,
but I am having a hard time finding a good store that has both good
prices and good stock. Most of the have one of them, but not both. Also
it is important that the store is realiable. (trust worthy).
Any advice?
Daniel
Online
stores tend to have higher prices, imo. However, some of them have
extremely good stock. With all due respect to those who operate their
own e-stores, I almost always stay away because of high prices.
Do not buy from paizo.com. Their prices are just silly.
I prefer ebay. I've bought quite a bit from Auggest.
If you are very patient, bidding on auctions can net you minis at good
prices. If you take the time to scour ebay, you can find some good
deals even at fixed prices.

| First this is what I am lookig for:
Crow Shaman
Frenzied Berserker
Archmage
Eliminister
Rikka
Green Fang Druid
So far I have found 1 GFD in Auggie's store, 1 FB in Vesivus, and thats it.
Right now price is a very important issue, as is payment method, because this will be a gift from my older brother who is going to pay with CC.
I can tell you this, so Far the stores that have the stock I need are extremly expensive, and the cheap one dont have any stock.
I will keep looking.

| Even Auggies has problems with keeping certain pieces in stock. When you have great prices too many people like to snap up everything that is currently below the market average which of lowers the available selection AND raises prices due to possible greed. Besides the impossible to get Stirges the piece I had trouble with was Boba Fett BH, auggies would sell at a $30 (high but one of the sets top pieces) when most sales averaged $40+ but the first buyer would often snatch them all up within an hour of listing.
When buying singles (from anywhere) you really need to pay attention to the SHIPPING charges. The best sellers offer fixed shipping costs with some allowance for numbers while some charge a base amount and then add for each additional mini (be careful buying "cheap" minis this way as the shipping may cost 5x what the mini does) but the worst charge a full shipping rate for EACH mini purchased.

| Before I send this thread to makertplace, (grin) I'll add that auggies, 1000's of minis, and others mentioned above have all proven themselves to be reliable over time.
Always check postage as said, and type of postage. Some will have a default postage of land which seems a little cheaper but takes ages.
There is also Oryan's shop here at maxmin is which is competivly priced.
