Please, please, please... anything to restrain ya from bidding $639 on a PotVQ as soon as it appears, knowing that you'll be unlikely to win with that approach!

My brain hurts right now.......

Hrmm...

Why did I get away with #33-42 for $16, given you'd bid considerably more than that for #39 or #40 alone, now?

Doesn't make much sense, IMHO.

And even though http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5955378874 didn't have a #40, am sure the rest should be worth $30, by your schema.

Well, there's another #39 & #40 coming up soon. *fingers crossed*

(*points to 14 day free trial again on esnipe.com*; and am sure others have similar...)

I am quite certain that Anyone who has sold anything to me from E-Bay auctions is happy with my bidding the old fashioned way (without sniping). And I am also quite certain that none of those sellers would want me to Stop bidding completely until I am able to snipe their listings.....

As for the Mag listings you show above I do not think that I saw them. Obviously I must look harder than I have been.

Alas, I am limited as to my time searching E-Bay. Especially since I do not have sniping software, or Auction Sieve and so I must compete against all of you "up to date 21st century collectors"... with a simple keyboard, a mouse, and patience.

Someday I must get that Auction Sieve thingy..... :roll:

Don't feel too bad Aneoth, I still do it the good ole' fashioned way myself. No auction sieve (BTW, all those Minis are irritating :evil: :evil: ), and if I want to snipe an item, I do it personally

Ah! That's a good one! By the way, I am auctioning right now some D&D and AD&D miniature reprints, with photos, so if Lord Aneoth wishes to bid on them... :D

I am honored that you would invite me to bid on your listings, However, as I have stated on the forum before, ALL minis are completely and totally safe from me as a bidder, unless combined with a lot of other items that I do want..... I do not now and never have actively collected minis.

Except that I have bid on several Box Sets of minis in the past, but have never won one yet, as I always give in long before the mini collectors do. :lol:

:wink:

BUT, that does not mean that I do not have any minis, In fact I have several hundred metallic minis and some plastic ones too. It happened that I HAD to accept many of them as part of a large lot I won a year or so ago. (Shipping cost was rediculous too, and almost not worth what I was after in the other portions of that lot)

The rest of the many minis that I have were obtained through other lots. I had planned on selling them on E-Bay........ eventually...... but as you all know, my selling instances are at the least uncommon, and quite possibly rare. And when I do, it seems that I get far less than most of those here.

I have yet to figure that one out...... :roll:

So, anyone interested in several hundred minis, some few being plastic, most metal???

Mostly in the context of trying to disbelieve the current price given the condition (trimmed scans)... *g*. sorry!

Nothing rare it seems (other than the hex pad....missed that one) but a good bit of well taken care of older modules:

Fanzines. No idea if these are worthy of collecting as they are too late for me (pre 1983 is my preference). But the BIN seems reasonable. UK only though.

Thanks, John.
Well, up to 1983, if you mean to the end of Dragonlords?

A couple of quid each for the Balrog Banter, Thunderwind #0 and Games Gazette and some other stuffs to browse through. Seems OK to me

(Not all RPG, of course, but no complaints here...).

Hrmm.... Maybe it would be best I didn't try to convince you to move your 1983 cut-off to 1990 or thereabouts (the end of "Utter Drivel" and "Dagon" instead?).
There's a lot of good stuff in the mid 80s 'zines anyhow, IMHO.
(Stock still sadly depleted here, since those formed the majority of the titles I bought and lent out too casually at uni).
*
The many shortlived semi-pro and pro-zines were starting to muscle-in towards the end of the 80s and that combined with the downfall of the Dwarf seemed to put an end to the more widespread zine culture, although there were still a few niche zines still making good headway.

Hey, ho! *looks around for anyone with a few boxes stashed away, not currently being used*

Dunno.... Certainly wouldn't have placed a particularly large bid on those, anyhow.
(Trying to stick to my notional £3.50/zine limit for the older titles and a couple of quid for newer ones is kinda difficult sometimes, however).

There are a couple of titles which I don't recognise as being RPG, SF or Fantasy, as well.
Could possibly be RPG zines missing from Brian Misiaszek's list, which I've been reworking periodically since his other commitments seemed to have stopped his own updates.
If so, I shall be doubly happy from a research standpoint.
Will see...

(Should be some good reading, anyhow! Even with that Battletech title
