just paid $135 for a raider from Gen Con on Ebay.
did I just make a mistake?
I don't think so, I think I will love it!!!!!
RAIDER
NO YOU DIDN'T! (pardon my screaming - I'm just jealous)
Yes. But not a horrible one. That isn't too overpriced.
Not too bad, unlike people trying to sell the hounds tooth for $90
But WHY? Why would you give someone 35% over retail when with a little patience you can get it for at least 20% under retail? You basically just paid double for it. How quickly is it shipping, by the way?
Murphy's Law: By the time they ship it to you it'll have been released locally.

Not unless they find a shipping option that quotes delivery in 1-2 months...

I couldn't wait, and if last year is any indication on release dates for the raider and wave 7, then im still getting it months before everyone who didn't get a gen con raider
That's not too bad of a hike, but I could never do it because I find the people who are selling them despicable.

Lol, Its going to be released 8/11.

I'm all for impulse buys and impatience, but not when I have to pay this much extra on ebay. But, as much as I don't like this practice of asking ridiculous prices for in-demand things, that's the free market for ya.
Hopefully you get your Raider quickly and enjoy it so it was money well spent. Have fun!
http://www.miniaturemarket.com/ffgswx30.html $69 for one. $138 for 2 with free shipping. Patience and $3 would have bought you two...
That being said, I envy you the chance to cradle that beautiful ship in your arms in a day or two.
