Docnixon - A Fantastic Experience!
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:20 am
I've only been around here long enough to complete a dozen or so trades, and I mostly laugh at this forum because it doesn't seem to me like these people went above and beyond. 
On the other hand, the trade experience I had with Docnixon was so special that it deserves some mention.
Doc had a group of Ogre models, largely NoS, that I was interested in. After a pleasant haggling experience we agreed on the price, and I went out and bought Doc some NiB models, I didn't have anything he was interested in, but I was happy to buy it.
Expecting to receive an Orc army where some was assembled and some was NoS, I was shocked, and thrilled, to find that "some assembled" meant only six guys in the lot were assembled, and the other 40 or so were NoS. Finally, the six that were "assembled" we're just assembled. They were exceptionally assembled, and four of the six were covered in some of the nicest conversion work I've seen, an Ogre Blademaster holding a beautifully made plasticard cleaver is a sight to see, and the green stuff detailing, an Ogre in chainmail, Ogres wearing fur shoulder wraps, Ogres wearing spiked shoulderpads made from green stuff and some material I have yet to identify, and an Ogre with a pierced nipple...
Staring at it now, trying to match the quality of what I received, I am mind-boggled, and feel like I own Doc something extra. Occasionally you get far less than you expect when making a trade here, getting FAR MORE than I expected is a wonderful experience.
Thanks Doc!
