One other way is get involved in the local hobby scene - most have WhatsApps groups for players to trade kits and parts. My experience has been good as most people have charged a fair price, been happy with a trade, or even sent me bits for free / only asked for postage because they just want someone else to use a kit that’s been sitting in their pile of shame for far too long. Speaking of the pile of shame - now could be a good time to start decreasing it! Hobby heresy I know 🤷‍♂️

Ahhh yes good call and I forgot Facebook Marketplace as well. Hit or miss depending on area but I've had good results on FB marketplace in Vancouver for warhammer purchases

That only means that recasts go brrrr.

If I was GW (or a GW "KZbin promoter" (NDA-infused _ShiII,_ let's be real ) I'd be worried about where GW sales are going to be by the end of this decade: when 3D Printers will become as *_ubiquitous_* as a PC & Color Printer in *_Every_*_ Home.."_ "We're working Hard to Keep Prices *_Down."_* It's _not _*_hard to believe:_* it's downright *_INSULTING_* to consumers with even rudimentary _intelligence._ ) 🤖🖨Just bought a 4K 3D Printer & Washing Station for the Cost of 2 Combat Patrols (w/ no Primer, Paint, Glue etc.) I'm done being taken advantage of by this *_Greedy Corporation_* that thinks we're Dumb Plebs who'll believe anything they say. 🤖🖨_*Beep, Bop, Boop.....Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*_ = 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖 (pause) *_Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr_* = 🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖

30 € in Europe? No Way. In germany (4th highest) its about 12,5 €. If you earn about 30€ an hour you are a top 20%ter in germany. Sweden: 399/193 is about 2 hours

[@VanCityMinis]

I knew Swedens numbers were off TY. It was hard to find a baseline for the EU given the variance, I did think 30 was high at the time as that would have been 44 cad an hour which is middle income level cash but I also know income taxed tends to be higher and It's the average that Eurostat have me, google says Bulgaria has 477 eruo a month average income while Luxembourg has a 2571 month average so maybe the wide disparity leads to a disproportionately high average. I think the next time I do such a breakdown I'll pick a few EU countries instead of using the exact buckets GW did

[@TheAbcbc]

@@VanCityMinis Yeah it is hard to compare and even if you calculate the taxes there is stuff like "purchasing power". Germany has a bigger net purchasing power than Luxembourg. Anyways, thinking about working for 66 hours to get a 2000 points of necron warriors makes me a bit sick.
