The Trading Post progresses slowly, but it is open. http://stores.ebay.com/Topkicks-Trading-Post

Currently the only listings up are for Wargods of Aegyptus. Bear with me as Southpaw and I work on getting everything checked and double checked before posting them for sale. Warzone, Chronopia, Celtos, GWAR, Shockforce and Legions of Steel will all be posted as soon as possible. IF there is something you can't find and need PM me -- I might just have it but just haven't got it posted yet.
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: DogOWar on June 13, 2007, 08:27:25 PM: COOL!! Can't wait for the Chronopia to go up.
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: Southpaw on June 14, 2007, 08:51:06 AM: Interested parties can also e-mail me (off the boards to abide by the policy), at the address in my profile, for any needs. We will strive to get the other lines up as quickly as possible. Thanks for looking!
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: Southpaw on June 17, 2007, 07:08:15 AM: UPDATE 17JUN07

Celtos and GWAR lines have been inventoried and will be listed soon.

We have large collections of Chronopia, Warzone, Legions of Steel, and Shockforce which will be forthcoming.
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: Topkick on June 17, 2007, 07:41:14 AM: Southpaw speaks true. I want to apologize for the delays and share the reasons for things taking so long.

1) Work -- Yes that ugly monster keeps getting in the way as I try to clear projects in time to get off for Origins.
2) Space -- I have never gotten totally moved into my new gameroom (see item 1). That has made space to inventory in the middle of chaos limited
3) Scope -- Until we actually started packing things up even I didn't know the scope of what all there was to box, move, inventroy and list.
4) Deal -- Before I could start I had to work out the details on how to set everything up and divide the income with the lFLGS which is allowing me to list his stuff. If you see Thom ask him how it is to deal with Scott T. at Castle Perilous. ::)
5) Origins -- The other 500 lb gorilla. I have been coordinating with GAMA and the crew to make sure we provide the best possible group of events. I made two promises to myself when I took over event coordination a couple of years ago; A) Every event listed gets run and B) To do better every year.
6) Life -- I admit to being stingy. I could have skipped Talamania and a few other events that were important to me but I'm self-centered enough to think I am entitled to an occassional weekend to have a good time and I took them. Sorry about that. ;)

Bear with us. Celtos and GWAR ought to be up this week. I am sending Jason the inventory for both today and he should have them listed soon afterward. As for Warzone and Chronopia - we got everything organized so that each product line is in the same box(es) so it will be easier to check on. Drop either of us a line and we will try to pull as we inventory.
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: DogOWar on June 17, 2007, 08:04:47 AM: All I can say is good luck to you guys. I for one know what its like trying to get things organized for a store. Life seems to always get in the way. My gaming group has a hard enough time getting together to game once a month! I for one am as patient as the rock. Whenever you get it up(the store ;D) I'm sure I'll be ordering something from you. I've even held off buying a few things in anticipation of checking out your stock. I'd rather see the money go to someone I "know" than someone else.

Post by: Topkick on January 06, 2008, 10:49:36 AM: After many delays I have posted the inventory of the Trading Post in the 1st post of this thread. This is not a complete list - it is only about 2/3 of the total of the figs I have. I hope the next batch will be listed soon. At the end of January I will be adding the items listed here to Ebay but you all get first dibs. All figs are $ 2.00 each unless noted. PM me with your requests and I will fill them and mark the figs off the master list. Thank you in advance for looking.

Post by: Topkick on January 06, 2008, 10:35:45 PM: That's the last of the additions for today. I have every faction listed except Bauhaus and the Tribes of Earth. I hope to get those added tomorrow or Tuesday. Then comes Chronopia Singles.

After all my singles are listed I will begin inventorying some blisters I got from my FLGS on consignment. That means more every every faction and more Chronopia.

Just wanted to let everyone know that, due to the upcoming policy changes at eBay, Hal and I have had a discussion and have closed the Topkick's Trading Post eBay store.

Sales will still be listed here.

For any and all members here that are sellers on eBay, even occasionally, I STRONLY urge you to view the upcoming policy changes. You will not be pleased.

I'm not a seller onm Ebay - but am curious what the gist is?

There are several major changes which has the selling community on eBay in an uproar. eBay is fundamentally changing it's business model, whereas before, eBay has always courted the sellers, as we are the ones who bring the traffic and income to eBay.

Now, with CEO Meg Whitman stepping down amid lackluster stock performances and plummeting profits, they are now switching gears, with buyers being top priority. This, in and of itself, is not necessarily a negative thing. How they have chosen to do this, however, leaves much to be desired.

1. Many sellers complained at eBay's continual hikes of Listing Fees and Final Value Fees (the comission eBay charges based upon the final winning bid of an auction or Buy It Now listing. So, Listing Fees will decrease 5%. However, in a move that hurts smalll part-time sellers the most, Final Value Fees for items that sell for $25.00 and under will nearly double, from 4.5% to 8.75% of the final winning bid.

2. The feedback system is also changing, and the sellers are again taking the worst of it. Starting Feb 20, Sellers will not be able to leave Neutral or Negative feedback to a buyer: only positive or nothing at all. Buyers, however, do not have this limitation.

3. A sellers feedback rating will only be counted for transactions within the past 12 months.

This is only a few of the major changes.

Needless to say, I am less than pleased.

Post by: warzoneD on February 02, 2008, 08:57:12 PM: Yeah - that does sound bad for sellers. I don't blame you for being aggravated.

The only gripe I ever had with sellers on Eby was that some of them would wait until YOU gave your feedback before they gave you any, even if you paid quickly etc.

Anyway - I hope these changes don't mess thigns up for you too bad.

Best,

Yes, I've thought about them and will have to look into them more seriously.

Rumor also has it that Google has an auction site in the works: Gbuy. And is working on getting development finished as thousands of sellers have voiced their displeasure with eBay, and have been closing stores and seller accounts in numbers thus far unheard of.

Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: PhillySniper on February 15, 2008, 02:28:27 PM: tell me about it. I was going to list some stuff and when I saw the changes I decided not to.
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: Topkick on March 06, 2008, 08:08:33 PM: Updated the listings so that everyone will know what is available. This weekend I will remove all the orange listings except BigNasty's. He has seemed to disappear (no sign of him for a month) but I will hold his order for a bit longer. All the other orange listings have been completed, or will be as soon as I mail Moe's package tomorrow.
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: Topkick on March 22, 2008, 11:50:47 AM: Big Nasty has not been seen since February 21, 2008 so I have highlighted his order in yellow. If he fails to respond to emails in the next few weeks (30 days max) then I will return the figs he requested to the general list and make them available to anyone who wants them.

Post by: Stalker on March 26, 2008, 04:12:17 PM: Hey TOP,

Can you add the Embalmed, the Orc Swordsman leader, and the Capitol Infantry Major on to my order as well? Originally I requested the Stygian Guardian and the 8 Capitol Desert Scorpions. Also, I'll check with Sylvas to see if he wants anything from your lists.

Cheers!

Post by: Topkick on March 26, 2008, 04:17:51 PM: Capitol Major is done and Jason is handling the Chronopia consignment items so I will pass your requests on to him
Title: Re: Topkick's Trading Post
Post by: Stalker on March 26, 2008, 10:17:05 PM: Thanks Bro!

BTW - Wish Jason a happy belated one on my behalf. I still can't post in any thread in the announcements section.
