I thought I found an early Player's Handbook. I'll keep looking.I think the guy now needs to be put in the "Shady Dealers" thread, I do. Here's why: I contacted him within 15 minutes of the listing going up and I asked him about the printing and the flyleafs endpapers. He repsonded to me shortly there after that this was a sixth printing. So in resposne tp that I sent him this:bclarkie wrote:Hi & thanks for the fast response. I am a bit confused now based on your response, as the photo that you have of your auction denotes a much ealier printing than a 6th. Looking at the cover, your book appears to be either a 1st, 2nd or 3rd print, so if the book that you are selling is a 6th print as you say it is, the cover should look much different than it does. So you can fully understand what I mean, please check this website to see the differences: http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/setpages/phb.html The reason I bring this up is b/c the 1st thru 3rd prints typically sell for more than the later prints & if your book is a 6th print as you indicated, to save yourself some potential problems, its probably best if you change the picture that you are currently using &/or indicate clearly in your auction that the photo you are using is a "stock photo" & the fact that the book that you are selling is a different printing then the one in picture. Hope that helps & thanks again, Brian.After taking over a full day and a hlaf to respond this is what I got in response:I did indeed download a picture from the internet as I do not have a digital camera. I am sorry if this caused any confusion.Now, not only has refused to post the answer to any of the questions posed to him in the auction so folks can read it, he has also outright refused to change the picture or add to the description so people know he isn't selling an early print PHB. At first I thought it was just an honest mistake, but now I am convinced that its being done on purpose since despite my detailed response and strong suggestion to modify the auction listing and the reasonse for it, he still hasn't done so. Frankly its starting to piss me off. I am going to send him one more request to let people know about this auction and then its going to get ugly.
