These auctions are a little older now, and I don't know this seller, but they should know better than to do this:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


Collector's need to be informed before making purchases for items that are listed for this much.

bbarsh wrote in Shady Dealers:First, I will go back and read through some of these later tonight to answer objectively and coherently. I will say that at this time, I know nearly all sets were shipped. As everyone clearly is aware, the massive length of time it took me to complete and deliver this project was certainly, well, horrible. That is in me and I have always taken responsibility for that. The problem with delivery of some sets is that KS has removed some
Buyers who are no longer on KS OR WE HAVE. BAD EMAIL ADDRESSES. I have noted this in updates.

So I will our this right out there, if you have not received your set, please email me:  [email protected]

Again, I have made plenty of mistakes on this and I am truly sorry. It doesn’t go a long way, but there it is.

I will read back through these and respond as I can. Especially to backers. Speculation by those who aren’t backers is fine. I’m a target-rich environment regarding this so it is what it is.

Respectfully
Bill

I’m going to stick this back up, as Bill (surprisingly) never responded, even though it’s 5 months later and not the next night as suggested. Not even logged onto the site since the first week of May, so I would suggest staying clear of any future KS or sales offered by Pacesetter Games unfortunately

What is a real shame is that the quality is really very good! It’s just let down by lies, broken promises and missed deadlines.
Maybe Bill will recover something credit one day, but for me, I’d never order anything from him ever again, which actually does upset me.

I’ve only backed 5 KS projects and unfortunately, 2 came up fine, 1 didn’t deliver anything and the guy disappeared, and the other 2 kind of delivered some goods over the course of many years, so it’s not something I’ll go in with again either

This just wastes everybody's time.

No, not as new. Nor is the white box set you have up "museum quality".

Seller already has one -ve feedback specifically to do with poor quality as well.

And yet, and yet... bids and bids.

Aha!! ... you are less sleepy than me this morning. I wondered why the bids were still rising.

For those of us not paying attention to dice collecting, can you spell out how this rates as shady?

The dice are lo-impact. If the buyer tries using them, they might be disappointed to find the plastic wears down without the benefit of modern polyhedral technology. If they try using the Holmes-era D4 as a small caltrop, their enemies might charge over them unhindered. No one wants that mentioned in Ebay feedback.

Agree. I have been using modern d4s for home defence, quite successfully, for some time now. They need to be pointy!

Better defence than Lego

Hello People and Others,

I know I don't post much but rest assured I have been here more days than not, learning from you bunch of passionate collectors. Sadly I am preparing to sell a large portion of my collection because - finances. I am not the savviest seller on ebay but I can manage. One thing I wanted to do was update my Blocked Buyer list from the "you know whos". To some they would be happy to hear that I used the search function! Several times, and for multiple things! Amazing what one can find. Anyway I copied and pasted the list into ebay and I thought I would offer that a few ID's are no longer in service:

Your blocked bidder list has successfully been updated with new information you submitted. The following user(s) were not valid and therefore not added to your list.

I've read some very good discussion for and against having a sticky with an active list of Shady Types. However if someone has had wanton and negligent dealings with a particular buyer please feel free to let me know so I can add them to my list. I'm starting small with the listings and working my way up to the more "interesting" stuff. Once I get my listing up all make a note in the Classifieds.

"For example in picture #2 what looks like a stain is from the original copy and not a real stain on this book."

How often do we get to appreciate a good dog-vomit stain, without all the unpleasantness of actual dog vomit? The seller is performing a service.
