Especially since I know you can get copies in similar condition for significantly less. ' Everyone of that guy's auctions is a fantasy. He must not really want to sell anything, but if someone wants to overpay by quite a bit he'll let it go.

Turns out the seller triggered a bunch of my stored searches, but I didn't clue in to the fact that it was all the same guy.  Here I just thought there was a sudden rash of optimistic/delusional sellers. Taking another look at his items, I'm now trying to figure out which of them is the worst.  The $100 copy of Pendragon 4th edition is up there, in my books.

Maybe its a nasty DMs accessory to give to the goody two shoes cleric, after he gets captured by a band of orcs.

We do not leave positive feedback until the customer lets us know everything is ok by leaving us positive feedback. Ebay policy changes.  He's not getting it.   megnelwil Prolific Collector Joined: 24 Jun 2007 Last Visit: 29 Aug 2008 Posts: 404 Location: UK Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2008 5:42 pm     Kingofpain89 wrote: This nut put a bunch of Traveller items up on Ebay yesterday.  This one is my favorite of the bunch: http://cgi.ebay.com/Traveller-Grand-Survey-DGP-Freakishly-Rare_W0QQite mZ270248333014QQihZ017QQcategoryZ2547QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZView Item This is the fourth or fifth time over the past year that this guy has tried (and failed) to sell them for these outrageous prices.   Is it my imagination or has there been an explosion of DGP recently? Remember we were talking about the 'rare' Ref's Gaming Kit, just the other day. Since then I've seen 3 more up for auction and one of them just failed to sell for £9.99 (had a hint sheet missing). Alien Vols I & II just went for under $50 each. Something going on with Traveller?

That item is so rare it's freakish. Hey everyone check it out. Let's freak together.   FormCritic Long-Winded Collector Joined: 16 Jul 2005 Last Visit: 28 Aug 2008 Posts: 3999 Location: Washington State Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2008 12:29 am     megnelwil wrote: Is it my imagination or has there been an explosion of DGP recently?

When an item appears on Ebay for a high price, people who have that particular item tend to throw their own copy up hoping to cash in. It gets funny when a number of them do it, asking impossible prices because some other guy has posted a Buy-It-Now for $575. The $575 guy generally got his price by looking at listings on Amazon.
