You have got to love blatant Ebay rules violations right in the listing.

Anyone know anything about these guys?

Check out the collection of rares! They must have one of everything. The only reason I've listed them here is on account of the prices.

So, does anyone know anything about them? Anyone dealt with them before? Do they visit the board?

I bought from these guys at Gencon when they were primarily Magic card dealers; at that time they had great prices . At the last Gencon in August they sat at the front in the auction and virtually bid on every item until it got to expensive for resale. They probably think old AD&D is the next big thing in collectable games, they may be in for a bit of a surprise. Stick with what you know.

Actually if you look, they really dont have anything really rare in their inventory. They have items listed and have prices for them, but the quanity available on almost everything is 0.

I missed that. So they have no real stock.

actually, you know, just looking back at their site again, did you get a look at their prices?  8O  8O  8O  8O  8O  8O

holy cow!

Evidently, they visit Acaeum, though perhaps not the forums section:

How else would they have come up with the "3rd print beta" terminology?  And yes, those prices are ridiculous.

At the auction they were bidding real high on some of the rares, hard to believe there is any room for mark-up. I think they went $240.00 for shrink R2 with is above retail.

The thing i hate most about moronic numbnuts like them, Titan games, Creep, etc, is that if they bought out my entire stock, they would STILL have plenty of room to mark it up to heaven and make a huge profit.  Same with Guido, BTB, BClarkie, etc, we have have room for massive markup.  But mostly my stuff, since I wouldn't mind selling it all and having some moronic numbnuts double the price on it and then sit on it for a year or so......  Plus, I need the  bread.

I've gotten burned by them twice.  They give very detailed descriptions to back up their claims on printings, versions, etc., but what I received IN BOTH CASES was not what was described.  They offered a refund in one case, which I took them up on.  I think it was a falsely advertised 1st PHB that turned out to be a 6th print.  I'd steer clear.
