Is any rhino worth

Between saving the world and having a spot of tea said

> $237.50 ?

The other day I saw an American pay NZ$1400 for a strawberry shortcake
doll on a NZ Auction site. Even with a favourable exchange rate - which
it was particularly - that's still a lot more than the Rhino went for.
The Rhino reflects a great deal more craftmanship and what I'd consider
intrinsec value.

However I'd also like to point out, you asked the wrong question. You
should have asked _Is this Rhino worth $237.50?_. There's a subtle
difference.

I'm a pro painter myself, recently started up (and since I'm mentioning
it I'll take this opportunity to blatantly plug my web site
http://home.btconnect.com/rickpropainter). At auction painted models
tend to have an exponential relationship between quality and price - a
model that is merely "OK" will not sell for enough to be profitable,
but once you reach a certain amount of wow factor the price will
usually shoot up. This particular item is attractively presented with
clear photographs - both essential to getting high prices. The interior
detail adds massively to the value as this definitely comes under wow
factor and prestige value. Of course being lucky enough to have two or
more bidders who want your item badly is also helpful Also,
remember that the type of people who buy painted models tend to have a
lot of disposable income and are willing to spend a lot for quality.

Oh, and Black Templar stuff always seems to go for a lot. I've noticed
one guy who seems to sell endless numbers of converted black templar
high marshalls.

There's an old piece of trivia. It is odd to me to see the old
blue style on a DA with all the green I've seen over the years, but I
would certainly say it's a nice paint job. I think his Bretonnian Damsel
and the Ultras Termies look pretty sharp too.

I've been thinking about the useless units posted in the ongoing [GW]
(Eldar) thread. So I thought I'd post a list using 'mostly' useless
units.

I think it should be called 'And they shall know no second turn'.
