Nice to see someone go that extra mile and put in the "grunt" work when listing an item.

Better than them copying it without giving credit.



Al, no disrespect intended, but I don't know how you're selling any of the TSR common/uncommon stuff on the site. The majority of prices that I looked through (the first two TSR categories) were way, way more than they'd be on eBay :(    Are prices on eBay.co.uk way more than eBay.com?

the time i have spent looking, what ppl sell privately is way different to what sells on ebay and believe it or not, a LOT of ppl dont even like ebay.



i have used 6 or 7 sources for prices and we are either the same or lower than them all (and a LOT lower than most of em too).



we are still filling the site up and will take some time yet - as well as all the RPG material to put on, there are about 3,000 miniatures that my mate has.



you cant always base your opinion on "what ebay does"



*goes back to scanning* :)



ps. btw just fyi - ALL of my JG books are cheaper than noble knight games cos i just checked a few hours ago, bar for 4 or 5 items. i share this site with my biz partner and he sets his own prices on his things :)



*shrugs*



i won't even go into certain e-bay shops i was browsing earlier.

I didnt see anyone else mention this auction but I figure several of you have noticed it.   Didnt think it fit in the shady sellers thread, just a seller with lots of bad feedback for ungodly shipping practices.  Someone is going to get this item at a very low price but then get screwed on shipping.  If the price stays at $4.50 though it wouldnt be a bad deal even if the shipping was $16.  :?

Never dealt with this seller that I remember. May have though. Not accusing them of anything just find the behaviour strange. They have a mixed lot including a Deities & Demigods. I ask them about it in a message because they had it pictured but not listed. I ask them if it was included and and how many pages. First reply was yes it was included but no page information. Sent another inquiry and got back a snide comment....



"come on, are we really concerned with page numbers or the content? why not just ask if it is the version with the cthulu / melnibonean sections? It is not."



My reply...



"I ask by page count because some sellers are not familiar enough with the item and asking about a particular mythos can confuse them. If you knew that was important enough of an item why not list it in your auction description?"

Right off the bat I put people like that on the blocked list. No room for cocky asswipes.

Hmmm, Since it seems to bother them so much, I think I will ask them how many pages are in the Deities & Demigods book. :twisted:  I will post a repsonse if I get it. :wink:  Question:
Dear Seller, I am interested in this lot you have for sale, but I have 2 questions. First off, you have a Deities & Demigods in the picture, but it is not listed in your auction description, so my first question is it included.  My second question stems directly from that one and that is if the Deities & Demigods book is included in this auction, how many pages are in it?  Thanks for your time.

Here's a random thought:  what's with the time stamp on these boards?  When I'm not logged in, I see the posts stamped according to my local time.  When I'm logged in, I see them with completely different time stamps.  Can someone explain that to me?

Stephen, check your personal settings under your profile. From there you can set your time. :)
