Someone has the Hat Nassau infantry set on Ebay UK starting @ £25 plus £3.40 P&P would you pay this for a set that's maybe going to be restocked in a few months anyway.  |

He's put the BUM Spanish Cuirassiers on too. See the posts in this forum.
It's not that long since a used box of KGL Cavalry was bid up to £25 when the shops still have them on the shelf. I bought a spare set for the stash at that time for £4.50.
So to answer your question, they're worth what someone will pay and we all know sayings about some people and parting money from them.

Steve. The question you need to ask is do you have unpainted figures you can work on while you wait for the restock. I know I have. I checked out this listing on E-bay. The starting price in Australian Dollars is $42.50 and the postage $29.10. If these are that rare in the UK do you think I could swap a couple of boxes for a cottage in Ambleside?  |

You cant blame anybody for selling a rare set for a huge profit, if there's any fault its the manufacturer for not knowing his market & not restocking more often. Hat is the worst culprit for this but its not only the customers losing out but Hat itself. If it is the guy who posts on here its a shame he's not listed the Austrian grenzers, as that set & the Austrian grenadiers are top of my most wanted list & I could maybe be tempted by them.

Even though they're also being restocked? |

Yes even though they could be restocked but I will believe it when they appear through my letterbox I have very little faith that what I need will appear as restocks in the next year or so. Look how long it took to get the peninsular dragoon sets out & how long the crowd funding is taking there is no official list yet telling what sets are being restocked, only the Nassau & some Austrian sets have been mentioned no specific Austrian sets have been confirmed, yes I would like the Nassau set but I NEED the Austrian sets for my Austrian army & restocks seem well down on Hats priorities.  |

I wouldn't consider the Dragoons to be out. |

Just to put this to bed the Nassau set went for an amazing £43.69 plus postage I know what I would be doing if I had a spare box. |

Doesn't mean you'll get that for them, I've seen many "rare" kits go for both high and very low prices, and there's no guarantee this wasn't shill bidding... .-)

This wouldn't be happening at all if there were more frequent & better targeted re-stocks ,the post that lets people vote for the restocks they want has been active for over five months, Still no official sign or information on what if any of these sets will actually be restocked.
