Hi Jason, unfortunately it has absolutely nothing to do with BINs at all. I could really care less. It has everything to do with the fact that your prices in a lot of circumstances are ridiculously high and in the rest of those circumstances they are down right insulting. Also, when someone from your store comes on here and actually tries to condesend me the way that was attempted, what kind of response did you expect?Additionally, despite what the previous posters claim was, it is absolutely 100% against Ebay's rules to buy from yourself whether or not you are "testing out your new software" as was claimed. Just so you know, I even emailed Ebay just to be sure. Even if that was truly the case where you were "testing out new software", then why did you guys also find the need to leave yourselves feedback?So in conclusion, "ridiculous prices" + "stealing other people pictures and claiming them as your own"+ "shilling" + "lying about your shilling" + "coming on here trying to make me look like an ass"= not too many good things are going to be said by me.

jhaynes01 wrote:If I'm not mistaken, and I'm sure you guys would know, but a Lost Caverns of Tsojconth went over $2000 on ebay last year, and it wasn't one of ours.
Simply put, If it's selling at these prices, and going high on ebay at auction, then our price is probably not far off the mark. If things are selling at a decent rate period, then our price is probably not far off the mark. If it's not selling for us, then our price is definitely wrong. There's very few D&D items though, from my initial inspection, that are not selling for us at our current prices.

You'll never appease your customer base by arguing with them directly -- the argument will simply escalate out of control and you'll come off looking even worse. The best way to get "out" of this thread is to stop replying defensively, and to address the concerns of which you've now been made aware. We're a pretty savvy group, and if you take steps to resolve the issues, you might actually gain a few customers in the end.If you have a specific question/comment regarding pricing, you might start a new thread in the appraisal forum. Similarily, if you have a particularly interesting item for sale, there is a Classifieds forum for that purpose. (There's also a lot of collecting-specific stuff that may or may not interest you.)
