If so, your store would be grossing around 1/4 million a year, and NO game store sells that much. If you strip the bullshit out of your posts, you will get a much better response. Well, not from the other resellers maybe, but most of us.If you manage to rape some fish for huge money on your items, more power to you. Just don't try to bullshit everyone here. Even the casual collectors here know twice as much as you about RPG's and the industry in general.

Every one knows more than me. la la la .. thats why I'm able to profit from the stuff, and others are stunned by the sales. Your right, I didn't do 30k last month. My accountant told me I did 33,7xx. Sorry 'bout that little error. I would n't be stupid enough to totally rely upon ebay. Although ebay did help with about 23 or 24k of it.

Last month I DID sell 5k in RPG material, hey like it or not, and I could care les if you belive it. If anyone is smart enough, and wants to dispute my sales, its easily researchable in abou 15 seconds on ebay. "Hidden collectors " What the hell are you talking about, I run a public store. I have people contact me from all over the country, every week. People who exchange valuable information, goods, and cash. Yes, cash is what I want. Reputation ? Here. In one speck of the world. The is not the international trading station of D&D. Sure, there are alot of knowledgable folk here. I'm sure there are even some good people here. There are probably even one or 2 smart enough to run a business, or form an enterprise. NONE who know me, my true reputation, the volume of goods I own, or exchange. No one here can speak of the volume business I do. I have not been here for months, because I just don't have time for the entertainment. lol To much business to be done. OH .. whats this. A few lttle sales. Most importantly, Brian , you can't call me a liar now, I proved that I could sell one for this price. Infact, I don't have time to mess with your ridculousness, but I have sold 3.

Don't buy from the Creep1962 guy. Any particular reason why (other than the fact his price is ludicrous)? I bought from him about a year ago without any problems.
He charges way to much and many buyers from maxminis have had a problem with him. Several months back there was a thread just dedicated to this guy.
If you like having to send a few e-mails asking him to follow up on your items, because its been a few weeks since you paid, or if you like your stuff smelling like cigarette smoke, go for it. He completed my transaction, but not before much hand wringing and e-mailing. It would have to be an extremely good deal before I would be willing to go through the hassle with him again.
Creep1962 - I ahve a Gate Knight listed on ebay for 49.95.
PZombizzle - !!!!!!!!!! thats steep! it may seem like a good deal now but keep in mind the gate knight will be a regular tournament prize soon.
Creep1962 - STeep ???? It's the only one listed! ANd I have $50 each in all 3 of mine, and I'm willing to break even on one. That sounds ... FAIR.
Folds - Dude, if he thinks the price is steep, he's probably right. I too think the price is a bit steep. Remember, people have to want to bid on it to make it a good price.

So, in other words, your sales of "vintage D&D" items don't amount to all that much? In contrast to:creepydealer wrote: Your right, I didn't do 30k last month. My accountant told me I did 33,7xx. Sorry 'bout that little error. I would n't be stupid enough to totally rely upon ebay. Although ebay did help with about 23 or 24k of it.Why should anyone rely on your appraisals when there is so much inconsistency in everything else you've, for example, posted here?
