Exchanging left over figures

Is there any shared forum or site where gamers can exchange left over figures or get hold of odd single strips? I know I have some that I'll never probably get to use and I'm in need of a single strip of APE16 (Persian with hoplite shield).

Interesting question. I understand the place is probably not here... after all this is Peter's business... there are some quiet appropiate places in FaceBook... groups of 6mm wargaming chaps etc... I will probably try there...

Good idea actually, especially at the moment when we can't place orders and may only need a strip or two to finish a unit, I found myself one strip short of a 36 figure battalion for example and had completely run out of them.

Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

I did write to Peter first asking if he supplied single strips, which he doesn't, or if the forum was the place to do it. I agree the forum doesn't seem to be the right place. So will have to hunt around or revise my unit structure.....

I felt I ought to stress the point is not to make any money but just to avoid sending unwanted figures to landfill. The Society of Ancients does something similar on its forums and I found a home for my stable of unwanted 25mm horses. The only money involved was the recovery of postage which won't be so high with the 6mms. PS. I do have about 10 strips worth of WOR08 if anybody is interested.
