I agree that it is just about the best hard back ever; with it you could easily never have to buy another rule book. As it happens I've had three and sold them on - typical of me though, now I want one I can't pick one up for the right money (Oddly - all 3 of those I had were charity shop finds and I've never paid more than £3)

(BTW I'll give £12 for one if you've got a spare )

A new guy - feedback (4) - who presumably had to have that one right now. :lol:

I was a bit like that at the start. Or in fact still am :cry:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0037477747

should actually be posted under the topic "silliest bid of the year", but as it doesnt exist, then i leave it here...

btw, i'm always amazed when i see the outcome of two or three ebay newibies fighting for the same item!

You have at least one of the bidders with a zero feedback bidding on multiple auctions from the same person.

Looks like the possibility of a very strange shill in progress (not sure about those Paris Hilton pants) :-)

Has anyone seen this guys ebay store in Australia. The prices are so high it is offensive. For example he has a RuneQuest Trollpak for $200. This usually sells for $10-15. Since he listed all this stuff in July he has made three sales.

I was going to post that this week but you beat me to it. Three sales since July and I believe not one of them was for RPGS? Even if he sells something at inflated prices I don't think he's going to makeup his ebay fees at this rate...

http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 0039622913

...and pls consider that there are 4 days left...

(we're exactly at the same level of the jade hare auction for both price and time ... but personally if i have to choose, i wouldnt think more than 1 nanosecond what item to choose...)

Am I missing something here?...

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Especially given this auction ending 1 day later...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... &rd=1&rd=1

By this logic, this 2nd auction should settle at around $1000
