Or maybe she recognized the STAMPS.  

Yeah, someone should send her a medal.  Can't you just picture the tard trying to find a website where he can leave feedback for postal employees!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I feel I must say a few Cougar words:

All the dealings I've had with him in the past have gone smoothly.
Yes I found his Terms and Conditions a little overpowering for a newbie, but I got through it and came out a happy bunny.
He's certainly very keen/serious about what he does. He does seem a bit bullish or overbearing. Cornering the market in Bloodstone Passes seems to have worked for him - it makes him rich, which is what he's doing it for in the first place. Hard-nose tactics, but it's the real world and that's what people do. In fact, that's what we might do in our other fantasy world as well.

What I do find a little odd is that he's just moved house, but is still using the same local post office he used 3 years ago. Hmmm.

Anyway - yes I'd be 75% happy to buy from him again (except I normally get out-bid). If folk don't want to buy from him, then don't buy from him.
After all - we're a bunch of inane wafflers on here (self included and often it's far too easy to slag someone off.

Overall, I'd give him a T, if we're talking 1st Ed racial preferences. (P/G/T/N/A/H) Would have been a G, but you lot have influenced me!


Also remember - without evil there can be no good!

Just my $0.02's worth, stating that it's not all bad.

PS - Now from what I see of Maxwell, it makes me uncomfortable as we share the same christian name!

Yep, that's the feline in question — no doubt about it.

For some entertaining reading, use the search function on these forums and type in "Cougar" for the keyword. You'll then be directed to numerous Cougie stories under thread titles that contain words like "annoying," "shady," "idiot," "chowderhead," and "should be shot."

Hey folks!

Look at what I have just found in a Communications Arts magazine... and after a (small) photoshopping on my part:

Ok, I admit, this one was for laughs ONLY.

When is the last time cougar actually successfully sold a Bloodstone Pass. Everyone I have ever seen him list never meets his reserve price.  I can also almost garuantee you that Cougar is rich only is furry little head.

wouldnt mind getting my hands on the H series, but its WAAAAAY down my list of wants tho....

I have the whole set in Mint condition, I once put it up on Ebay as a featured auction with an $800.00 reserve just to act as a pointer to my other auctions, it worked well as my other auctions got good money. The set almost went though, I was getting uncomfortable when the bidding hit $700.00 so I pulled the auction. It retrospect I should have sold it then because the series goes for way cheaper now (this was about 4 years ago) but back then it was so hot!!
probably what cougar remembers is those days when H1 was routinely $200.00. Those days are not coming back anytime sood though!

so how much would you regard a good price to pay for a quality copy of all four in the H series now?

gotta admit...i know next to nothing about these really and i tend to run from stuff i am totally ignorant of...until i know more...

Rosie, which one are you missing? I'm sure one of us here has an extra to trade/sell if you need one.

Sometime last summer I ran across a larger lot of AD&D stuff (30 or so) that included the H2-4 in average condition. Mr. Kitty was the high bidder at around $120. I sniped his ass and got the whole lot for around $200.

Now I could care less about the H-series, but it just irrated me that the only reason he was buying that lot was to maintain his turf on Hs. I resold the entire lot individually and made about $150 or so. But the kicker was that Mr. Kitty asked to bid on the Hs (US only aucitons) and I turned him down. Then he bid anyway! I had some fun with that...

If he's rich, it's not off H1s. I consider that ill-advised attempt at "cornering the market" one of his biggest blunders.  He must be sitting on literally a mountain of these, as I NEVER see any bidder hit the reserve he has set.  I'll almost guarantee he never makes his money back on these.

I've never owned it or played it, but I want a copy just to see what I missed.  There's no way I'm paying more than $20 for it, though.  

Otherwise the voices in my head start screaming "It's a booklet for a game you don't even play anymore!  Now get off the internet and go take out the trash!".  At least that's what they sound like to me...
