Every once in a while I check Craig's list but lately it seems to be as bad as Amazon for pricing:

Then again we should put it down to lack of knowledge rather than malice.  It still bugs me though that I always try to read up on stuff that I sell and some peeps don't.




Maybe by 'mint' condition, he means the product has holes in it, just like some varities of mints you can buy.  :)

I think I posted this one a few weeks ago - he has relisted it a couple of times.  I noticed that he has a bidder now - poor guy.  The item is also not even complete since it is missing the counters and another map.



I also told the seller that it was incomplete and not exactly mint but he didn't reply back or even change his listing.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way..*clap**clap**clap**clap*

Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

Offered as a 'buy it now' at a reasonable price, although sensible offers will be considered.

I'm not really up to speed on the value of the GAZ series but I would suggest that the BIN is a little removed from 'reasonable' - especially as condition is not spectacular


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Roll up. Roll up. Roll up ladies and gentlemen. Have a look at me wares. This tonic will cure everything. This one will make your hair grow back. And here we have some ultra-rare modules. Almost impossible to find in this condition. A bargain at this price. Don't tarry too long, these sell almost the instant I  put them up. Roll up. Roll up.

Two sellers selling Greyhawk Adventures paperbacks . . . but not mentioning Gary's name.  Rose Estes gets credit for all of them.  Ouch!

There was a funny article in this weeks New Scientist. Apparently if you search Enid Blyton on Amazon, you find she has written scientific texts, works on the American Civil war, dictionaries etc. It all traces back to one Seller, who accidentally listed Enid Blyton as the author of every book they listed!
