Whew now I am mad and I don't even dislike the cougar.

FWIW as far as Guido goes, Cougar as usual, is lying.  There is only one person that I know of on this forum that had a bad transaction with Guido and it never made it here, it was left on Ebay.  The only thing that people used to say about Guido had absolutely nothing to do with his buying/selling/Ebay tactics at all, it had to do with that awful story that he used to run on his auctions.  When Guido started posting here last year he even admitted that the story he put in his auction was awful and everyone had a good laugh about it.  As much as Cougar wants to dispute these facts, its all a bunch of lies. I ask everyone to not even believe me, check for yourself:

There are 111(now 112) posts that contain the name Guido and see for yourself if any of these posts contain the same language & tone of disgust, that gets held for the Coug.  It doesn't.  

Lets face it, Cougar's shitty reputation is not something that we have contrived here, it is something that he has been well earned through his own tactics on EBay(and actually off EBay for that matter i.e selling photocopies of rare items to his list of people that he spmas on a regular basis), by outrageous S&H, fees, bullying in general, feedback extortion, mysteriously non arriving shipments, harrasment of both buyer & sellers, bidding on auctions that he is not permitted to but does anyway, etc.  We didn't amke this up, just check his own feedback and it tells the story, and its not a very pretty one at that.   Once again, I invite anyonme who doesn't believe me to check it out for themeselves.  Look here(it may take a few minutes to pull up, be patient   )

Negative/Neutral Feedback received by cougarrinard

Now looking at that, how many people on that shit list there are actually members of this site?  

Now look at the feedback that Cougar has left for others:

Negative/Neutral Feedback left by cougarrinard

Once again, that is not members of this site that are in all that nasty feedback, that is other people totally unaffiliated with this site. It is factually in print and it is not being made up by us.

Another thing that I find quite comical about Coug is that he seems to have this sick infatuation with his feedback.  The question is though, how many of those feedback that he so loves so much are actually BS.  I am not even talking about the feedback that he has "mutually agreed to have removed" and the the feedback that he has bullied his buyers into giving him. I am talking about the feedback that he has acquired by buying from feedback boosters.  You know the ones where you buy a picture, a recipe, or some other intangible item for $.01, that you don't even pay for, you just leave the seller a positive feedback and he in return gives you one.  How many of those are included into his almighty feedback?  100? 200? Who knows.

         But I have just about come to the end of my rope when it comes to this clown.  Coug, either man up and defend yourself here, or stop referring to us in your oh-so-oblique way in your About Me page and form letters.  I'm done giving you any benefit of the doubt, if there ever was one to give.   
   BC is right....the majority of "warning" emails don't come from Acaeum members but EBAY MEMBERS WHO COUGIE HAS PISSED OFF.  I personally have had several UNSOLICITED emails from Ebay members (not Acaeum members) who I have never dealt with and don't know from Adam who specifically asked me what do I know about this guy bidding on their collection.  This typically happens when I am also a bidder on said item.  I can only suppose they have COMPARED feedbacks and being frightened with Coug's very dicey array of negs and mutual withdrawls, have instead gone to me with inquiries since I have under double digit negs and no Mutuals. No, Cougie, you are not a paranoid jackass for no reason, I guess everyone REALLY IS out to get you. Sheesh.
  Until BC brought it up I had completely forgotten the photocopy selling of rares and the buying of feedback on Ebay (clear violation of their rules).  Another two nails into the coffin of Cougies reputation as a dealer and a human being.

It took me a while, but I finally figured that one out: DM Dave's entire sense of self-worth is based around his eBay activities.

There is no job, no outside activities, no hobbies, and — I'd bet money on this — no actual interaction with other humans in a social setting. His view of himself is based solely around "sales" and "powerseller status" and his feedback number.

It's actually quite pathetic. It should be sad ... but it's not. This is the same guy who sells incomplete items, then blames the buyer for "not asking." Using that logic, he could sell blank pages, then claim the ink was missing.

Bottom line: absolutely the worst seller on eBay. We should retire the "shady dealer" thread because no one else even comes close.

Actually, this guy is just confused about a few details from a conversation 25+ years ago.  He obviously knew Bob Bledsaw and we ought to mine whatever he can remember about the old days of Judges Guild.

I haven't been through this thread in a while. So this may already be in here somewhere.  I haven't posted anything in a while either but I got a kick out of this while searching for a copy of VR.

Do you think I can get a recipe for a nice "ghoul-osh"?

If this is only funny to me.  Sorry

Was it...maybe...sitting atop a furnace with another book on top of it?  I don't know what would make those marks besides heat and smoke.

Dude its 10 modules, a few hardcovers,  a pile of Dragon magazines that you would be lucky to get $1 a piece for and the rest is pretty much odds and ends. Payment Plan?  

Aw, c'mon.  You didn't even mention the best part.  He has a 20-point grading scale, with no grades under 15!

I think they used it as edging to stain some trim
