I ship stuff from E-Bay sales often, and I rarely use Delivery Confirmation with gamers. They have yet to pull the "I didn't get my stuff" routine with me and this has saved me hundreds of dollars of shipping costs over the years which has allowed me to keep my shipping lower than most. The only time I do use Delivery Conformation is with auction wins over $40.00 or so.

The same can not be said of kids buying Yugioh cards. I ALWAYS use Delivery Confirmation when I ship Yugioh stuff. This is probably because most Yugioh players are kids and most gamers are adults, but the level of honesty by gamers is inspiring.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I always use DC. It's so cheap, but provides such peace of mind. I'm not worried about people ripping me off, but I've had a lot of packages that have taken forever to arrive, and it's nice to be able to tell someone what's up with their package.

Big thanks to Alan (Killjoy32) for a great service. Really easy to deal with, items always as described (or better), top rate packaging and superb presentation of the items (everything bagged and tagged) and always on hand to answer questions, give advice and make sure the whole buying process goes smoothly. Very pleased with all my orders. Thanks again Al.

Thanks to JohnGaunt for an excellent swap! Chaosium Magic World / Super World arrived today, a lot sooner than I had expected and in even better condition than described. Hope you enjoy the B modules!

Thanks Killjoy32 (Alan) - It probably would have taken for ever to find those copies in such great condition. Five stars again mate.

Much thanks to Alan (Killjoy32) for an extremely speedy and ***free*** delivery of the Ironhoof Highlands I purchased last week from his ASGI RPG STORE (www.asgi.co.uk).

(the free delivery is not standard, just something I jumped on when he offered it to the Acaeum in this thread).

And as to Ironhoof Highlands ... it's as bad as legend would have it. Though I spotted a few good tidbits. I'll post some more thoughts on it later once I give it a thorough lookover.

ASGI.com is the place to go for Judges Guild and a number of other good deals.

UK buyers ought to go check out Allen's store...where the deals are often better than Ebay.

US buyers have to think about shipping and exchange rates, but usually the totality of good deals and great service outweigh other concerns.

Certainly, everyone on the Acaeum ought to check out ASGI.com
