GW cracking down on EBay sales?

[Crab Battle]

I'm just wondering, has GW stopped supplying wholesale to their EBy-using stockists? Because all the 'shops' I ordered my recent stuff from seem to have gone under. One guy even told me that he wasn't restocking since GW weren't going to resupply him due to being a purely EBay seller.

This is just particularly annoying me since I had planned on ordering 4 boxes of Graveguard from buy4less, who offered a 2 for £20 deal on them, compared to the frankly ridiculous £17 per box that GW charge.

Suppose it could be worse... we could be Empire players... £25 for 10 plastic Greatswords is WORSE than what they used to charge for 10 metal ones...

Also, if anyone knows of anywhere online that still does good GW deals could they please tell me? Currently my best option is Wayland Games at £13.60, which isn't too bad, but could always be better.

They have a new name, Goldswords and are subject to much mocking.

I don't buy from ebay shops anyway, just individual sellers now and then.

That was who i was going to suggest. I haven't seen many better places in a while.

Aye, pity Tsolar is no more.


Well I'm happy as a new, independent retailer has started a shop not far from where I live, and he is a member of the local gaming group. I have yet to go there, but I have a feeling the prices won't be as high as GW's.

Other than that, there is only one place in my town which sells Warhammer, and they charge the exact same prices as GW....I haven't been in a long time, not half because of the price.

I'm surprised more stores aren't selling "damaged GW stock" out of the boxes.

They ship worldwide for free, so you don't nessecarily have to be in the UK to buy from there.
It's not going to stop me, because (after conversions) prices from there are HALF of what I would pay at the local GW..
