@Paul: I tried to work out who from the previous auction histories, but no luck on that...

Yeah, that is like beating your head off a wall. Yea, Ebay.   It would be interesting to see who came in third on that with a pretty hefty bid of $736.  I suspect I know who it might be, but it would just be an educated guess.

The sad thing is there have been some auctions I have walked away from due to this ebay feature (and I use the term loosely).  The popup feature which shows the bidders stats is just a pain in the ass.  

Now as soon as I see a new bidder who is only bidding on that auction and has 1 to 9 feedback I just assume it is a shill and walk away.  

Now if only another player could make a good go at it.  Then what we need is one site you can go to which will serahc all auction sites rather than individual searches.

Well, in case there was any doubt, I can honestly say I was NOT on the bidder list.  No way would I drop any kind of money on that item.  It's just one of those items I don't see any appeal in owning.

Not to say that wasn't a great win, Paul.  Congratulations!  

The latter.  

Actually, I probably over-paid, as usual.  They're the first sets I've owned, and they arrived today.  Really nice!

I've noticed that most of the recent Dragon Dice auctions only ship to the USA/Canada (apart from one international auction the other day that I got outbid on ...)  Anyone know why this is?  Is it because the dice are small and the seller doesn't want to risk them going missing?  Or is international shipping too much of a hassle?  A shame either way - I'd love to get a set or two (without paying silly money, lol).  I'm sure there have to be some sets floating about the UK somewhere...
