With the Nomadic invasion of Akesoli, the Republic of Darokin prepares for war.This module is billed as "A BATTLESYSTEM(TM) Game/War Machine Spectacular!" It uses the mass combat "War Machine" rules from the Companion Set, and the BATTLESYSTEM Fantasy Combat Supplement included with the module, as well as a large map of Mystara and strategy game tokens. There are a number of "Chase Flow Charts" used to direct encounters through an abstracted landcape as players pursue others or are pursued themselves through the streets.

I'm surprised you lost an NSAD, buyers practically never lose those, i'm assuming his really vague descriptions helped him out here.3. That being said, i can't believer he'd take a chance on crapping up his feedback by not giving you a refund of some sort. In the long run it's just not worth it for a seller to stand his ground on something like this, especially when you weren't exaggerating how bad the condition was. Sounds like in this case he knew he was running sort of a scam.4. Ironically, in the next few months onward you are going to get more and more sellers who are going to be shipping you shit and not caring what you leave for feedback, even with "raising" seller standards. The reason being the standards after June will be raised to a standard most sellers can never meet, so rather than bend over backwards they may just tell you to fuck yourself in certain situations. For example, I can only keep a top seller rating now if I print out my shipping ONLY via Ebay (never through paypal, or just bringing it to the post office); if I have a 14 day refund period (think that's stupid, but I'll do that) or guarantee a one day turn around (not gonna happen, I have NTRPG con coming up and a summer vacation week, I cannot guarantee a 24 hour turn around time in those cases). There is simply no incentive now for me to be a "top rated" seller, so why do I care if I get a few bad ratings now?Mike B.

grubbiv wrote in e-Bay sellers you should avoid:I asked deneeteres if the rulebooks had any rust on the staples and she replied "no". Her response was suspiciously fast, but I exercised the BIN price at $150. Then she wrote back and said actually there was some rust on the staples now that she had a chance to look at them. I took up her offer to cancel the order. She said she hadn't realized how much these books were worth, so it does seem like she was just telling me that to weasel out of the deal in retrospect.
