Was this the game Space Fleet (including 2 Eldar Wraithships, 2
Imperial Gothic-class battleships, two pages of rules, and a lot of
cardboard)?

If you can get it for $15 (and the postage and money order costs
aren't too steep), it is fine; but buying it out and paying $7.50
each (plus postage and money order)  for four plastic ships seems a
bit high.  (Converted via SEK to GBP, $7.50 (+ P&P + payment costs) 
almost buys me a fresh-cast metal starship model directly from Games
Workshop! Why, then, pay almost as much for the plastic...?) 

Of course, if there were additional ships in the lot, the situation
changes...
