$45 Primer? Hobby Supply Prices Starting To Skyrocket…
The global crisis we face has forced many businesses (including GW) to close down for a time. Since almost everyone has shut their doors, from stores to warehouses, hobby supplies have are becoming harder to find.
Now, if you’re like a bunch of people who have been hobbying to stay sane, you might be starting to run low on a few paints here and there. Well, if you go to places like eBay, you might find that sellers have exactly what you need, at an increased price…
Staple spray paints like the Chaos Black primer going for $45 on eBay!
If you go on GW’s webstore, this same primer normally only sells for $17…
Coming from the same seller, they’re selling Nuln Oil for almost $20. Keep in mind that this normally sells for $7.80.
What’s even more outrageous than the price jump, is that it looks like people are actually buying them with almost 50 and 100 sold on those items respectively.
Before you go out and spend more money on arguably already-overpriced paint, make sure you read the latest word from GW. They’re going to be opening up their retail stores again soon in some areas! Plus there are tons of more responsible vendors you can visit at the link below as well!
