Read all the way through my posts, please.

8O Did you just quote yourself, and then give yourself a reprimand for not reading your own posts? 8O

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)


No, he was quoting himself and reprimanding Mbass, I think... :?:

eBay and Paypal policies are somewhat stranges about this since if the seller surcharges Paypal payment with % fees, Paypal get this surcharge and get taxes on this surcharge so more money for them...



eBay figures this will discourage bidding.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

It's going to be interesting to watch these items and see what effect "celebrity status" has on their collectible value.  I'm referring to some of the more "common" items, in particular the 2nd Edition character sheets.  Will you be providing a "certificate of authenticity" or something for those, Tim?  
(I'm not being sarcastic, in case you're not sure.  I picked up a minor item from the last RJK auctions and got a free signature that way...  :) )

I have repeatedly said that I will provide provenance or sign, whichever buyer wants. I'm pretty mellow with whatever you guys want.

That being said, if you require two letters each on half a dozen items or more, don't expect lightning-quick response. I won't write a letter that will reflect badly on either of us somewhere down the road...

Fair enough?

Calendar; with TD#1 artwork on the cover.

Not especially plentiful, Tim; but haven't gone for particularly high prices either. I've flagged a few on the board in fine condition that still ended up at <$10.
Noble Knight is being slightly optimistic IMO re. their "Fair" copy for $15.

Do you know how many years they put out these calenders?  I have a copy of the 1982 one.  Also, was this art used somewhere else?  My favourite picture is the Blue Dragon (december 82) by Erol Otus but I don't remember seeing it anywhere else.

I was gone by then. The principle behind it was to use original art not seen elsewhere; whether or not they stuck with that, I cannot say.

For those who haven't seen it:

I don't intend to sell. The cover is art by a dear friend, since deceased done for me upon request. Partha then did it in lead.
