Tell us on what occasion you have been priced out by GW

when i  saw the price of a box of troops(berserkers)  hit £40 i knew it wasnt long for me. 

i dont mind getting the big boxes as im happy to budget for a larger box and spend longer doing it but they are now harder to get  and even they are getting out of hand.

for me selling off stuff i don't want has massively brought down what i've spent overall, as well as trying to pick stuff up 2nd hand 

 

i've got half my kill teams from the double boxes where i've sold off one of them. its been a good way to get the ones i want cheap, as well as the rules/tokens/terrain. 

selling my plague marines and necrons also got me back what i paid for DI and Indomtius. I'll sell my tyranids at some point and get back a big chunk of the cost of leviathan (95% of my space marines are from a new edition set or hachette mags).

when i got back into necromunda i managed to get a copy of Ash Wastes off facebook for £125, sold the terrain and the nomads on for basically what i paid - i think it ended up working out as £10 for the orlock basic gang + the orlock vehicles + the templates/dice/rules. i think that was less than what the necromunda dice cost. 

 

i've not played AoS yet, but i've got some slyvanth and goblins, and again - all from hachette (or facebook/ebay buys of people selling hachette stuff)

 

i really try to avoid just buying regular boxes of single units as much as possible, and just not keep stuff that i'm not really bothered about.

Always handy when possible but in effect someone else's over-buying is subsidising that discount.
