Doombeard:
its not just her warhammer crazy does it as well. i had a lobg debate with them both about their prices an the oop bit. they just argued that although they are in stock, they are not being produced any more making them oop
Pyro Stick:
Arguing with them is pointless. No matter how good your argument is, and any argument you could make up is much better than any excuse they could come up with, they wont listen.
Willmark:
Actually it can be argued they are back in print as GW seems to be creating models “on demand now”.
cornixt:
They are still being produced, how many does she they have had in stock these last few years?!
rolljordan:
Actually they are in some countries. For example in the US they ran out of two bull centaur bodies and seems they will no longer be casted. I believe they can be considered OOP.
Also she “Essexgirl” is a pretty accurate seller buyer and if she listed them as such probably they are OOP at least in the UK where she is.

Erm, no. She has listed loads of things as OOP which haven’t been for years. Only recently have those BC parts gone out of stock and it is probably due to the restructuring of mail order. She just uses it as an excuse to inflate her prices to those who don’t know.

Will write her tonight and ask why she states OOP if they are not.

Pyro Stick:
Are you friends with her or something? Because you seem to be sticking up for all these vultures in a few threads.I wouldnt call her prices affordable. If you multiply her prices by 0.25 then that is how much the models are worth. Also, everytime i have had contact with her she has been as rude as can be. She gets like that if you tell her her prices are wrong. If you ask how she arrived at ther prices she wont answer.Erm, no. She has listed loads of things as OOP which haven't been for years.

Maybe she is unaware that they are still available. I bought some times some stuff listed as OOP or Unreleased when they where not, once I discovered they where available at MO I had a fit..... last s#$@auction is for the two listed "UNRELEASED" Chaos Dwarf that I just found out they are not Unreleased :( since they where available at MO US for quite a while.... damn 21GBP for crap..... well too late now :)

2) Her prices are NOT affordable, I'll help you: "Opportunistic Price Gouging" is the phrase you were looking for.
3) I'm not a betting man, but am willing to bet the farm she knows exactly what she is doing in regards to pricing and how she labels her wares...
4) Sticking up for, or giving even the appearance of defending essexgirl in any way shape or form (even if its only perception) isn't going to win you any friends here, quite the opposite frankly.
