The Loose Association of Wargamers

I'm sure we've all bought stuff, kept it nice & new in a box for ages, and then sold it on. Have you ever bought the same stuff back again?
A couple of years ago, I had a clear out, and at a table sale, sold two boxes of Ceasar miniatures, Orcs & Scarey Skeletons. The purchaser was very happy with them, at £3 a box.
A year later, I was wandering a table sale at a show, and amongst the tosh, saw these two boxes. Ideal, I thought, they'll go with the two I already have.
The seller looked a bit familiar. As did the handwriting on the price tags. But, at £3 a box, I had to have them.
It was only later I realised that I'd bought the same two boxes back. And I've never found anymore of them.

Not the exact same stuff, but I did buy a bunch of Redoubt Trojan war figures when they first came out, then sold them about five or six years later. Ten years or more after that I bought some Redoubt Trojan war figures again Nothing as epic as your Vappa find though

I've lost track of the number of times a small Spencer Smith 30mm Bavarian army travelled to Newcastle and back.

Far fewer times than any money changed hands...

I did not know Cummings did Spencer Smiths.

I don't think he does.

A mate of mine has some painted figures, which I'm certain I had previously owned, painted & sold on. He strongly denies buying them and says he painted them.

Indeed.

He’ll have the time to do so now.

Nah, he does voodoo dolls, blonde ones. And blond ones.

I once sold Mr Troop a load of Dixon Grand Alliance 25mm stuff in the car park at Bovington* in the early 2000s; a few years ago, I (knowingly) investigated buying them back, looking to build a Bavarian army, but he'd used almost all the appropriate stuff and there wasn't enough left to make it worth it.

(* I was going to add that it was flooded to see if anyone could put a date to it, but thinking about it, back in the early 2000s, Bovington car park was always flooded on Battle Group South weekend. )
