HMGS Online Marketplace

Introducing the Marketplace.
Post your ads to buy or sell, search for specific keywords, find just the right thing to round out your army or start a new one! This online classified section is like a 24-hour flea market with unlimited table space. Just the thing you need if Santa brought you the wrong figures!

Marketplace is the new tab above (note that we combined the Photos and Videos tabs to make room for it!). Anyone can post a “For Sale” or “Wanted” Ad there, or search through the Ads for whatever you need.

Download the Marketplace Quick Start guide here and start posting your For Sale and Wanted notices today! (Note this is an Adobe Acrobat file -- if you cannot view it, you might need to download or update Adobe Acrobat for free from the Adobe website.)

And congratulations to Scott "Capt Taco" Dowling for being the first to post an Ad on Marketplace. "Capt Taco" will receive some random bits of HMGS schwag for his efforts.
