I was never aware that miniature or smaller versions of these were produced. Anybody?

Yes it does exist, I have one. It was brought out by 21st century games a few years ago.

Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

[Edit: Seller says 'Yeah, I need to replace the picture. There are only SIX books in this lot, the manual of the planes I sold in the last lot.']

That is a nice lot, too bad they have a name written on all of the books.

Nothing special about the item, which is a 1st ed DMG (later printing) in Near Mint shape, but this has to be one of the most flamboyant listings that I've seen

His gallery fees alone would amount to half the auction value of the item!

Very artistic however!

Seller's got a bunch of other early issues as well.

P.S. Nice bidding, bclarkie :lol:

I've never understood the mentality of nickel-and-dimers like that other guy. He can chip his way to the high bid eventually, but it just makes it patently obvious that anyone who wants the item only needs to bid a few bucks more to be high bidder.

Yeah, that guy has been doing that with all of his bids. He just keeps bidding in $1 or $2 increments until he has either maxed out your bid or just barely topped it. I can't figure out if he is just a dick with nothing better to do or is intentionally trying to inflate the price as much as possible without winning. :roll:

It finally annoyed me to the point that I figured I send a message.

Needless to say, with the exception of the first two "topping" bids, the rest of my bids are rather small amounts. :wink:

Its Auctiva.... (www.auctiva.com) - A listing service that offers free pictures and free supersizing (if I understand it correctly). They make their money by trying to sell your buyers postage insurance at the point of checkout.

I've signed up but not sold anything with it yet to try it out. On some other parts of Ebay I frequent (Archery) it has taken off big time and most of the frequent posters use it.

Cheers
