** expired/removed eBay auction **


I remember a scam years ago where they advertise a certain retail dollar value and unload 1 of each decent item and 50 copies each of crap CCGs. This reminds me so much of that.

The titles listed are all third-tier collectibles from the 3.0 era, including a lot of Sovereign Stone items and the sci-fi stuff that I assume did not sell very well.  The Lost City of Gaxmoor and Gryffon's Legacy were the only items I noted worth reading.

The nightgaunt & Nyarlothotep have had a little bit of additional exposure.

I have never had the opportunity to read through that particular book.
Does the write-up for Nyarlalthotep have any information about the"masks" or "thousand-faces" that appears in the later Chaosium CoC books?

It's appearing that Vol. II is the hardest to get though, as I've seen several people mentioning that they have I & III, but not II.  Dammit, means I'll have to fight more for it.

Andrew,
I've been meaning to ask you, was that Armed Services Edition of The Dunwich Horror in as good condition as it looked in the photos on the eBay listing?

Right, so having dug out the pictures and checked:

I'd say it's a little worse, but not much.  Bit more spine cracking than it appeared, and a bit rough on the corners.

Main flaw that wasn't readily apparent is some "rippling" near the spine -- likely just caused by age and the cheap cheap binding that these things were produced with.

Overall, I'm pleased with it and can't complain on the condition.

It's appearing that Vol. II is the hardest to get though, as I've seen several people mentioning that they have I & III, but not II.

That's funny. I have Volume II but not I or III.

New candidate for bad dealer on E-Bay.

I won an auction for a Box Set of Griffin Island in used but complete condition. The only reason I bid was the price was VERY low and the listing was ending soon. I already had a copy.

I won it for just $11.00, which is about one third its likely value compared to recent E-Bay auctions of RuneQuest items, including that box set.

OK Fast forward to today.

I get a package (Envelope actually) from the seller. It has a book one I had never seen before and certainly would never bid on.

It is a Psionics Book for DarkSun. Psionic Artifact of Athas.
Boy am I steamed as soon as I realized what had happened.

So I write them and tell them there is some sort of mess up. They immediately write back ( ) and say that they have had some mailing problems and that they had refunded my Paypal payment and they finished by asked me to send the book back to them.

Okie Dokie I thought. Sometimes those things happen.....

I mailed back.

"OK, so where is my Griffin Island Box Set? I still want it."

Waiting for the response to that last note.

Apparently what happened was that some boxes were
mislabeled. There were 13 items I shipped out, but once we
discoved there was a problem, we were not sure which items
were shipped incorrectly. Once the person who received your
box contacts me and sends the item back, I will contact you
directly and if you are still interested, we can work out an
arrangment.

Once again, I am very sorry for the mistake and appreciate your
understanding.

Again FAST response.
They sent a note back while I was writting the post above......

I am not going to slash them yet, they seem to have simply GOOFED up.
It happens.

Everyone, including some of the best sellers on Ebay, make mistakes once in a while.  The good ones make up for their mistakes.  I don't recommend posting a sellers ID here until they have completed their attempt to screw you over.
