"Two previous owners felt the need to sign their names to the inside front cover of the book. While Robin S. did so neatly in the upper corner, her successor, Mike K., not only felt the need to scrawl his name across the entire page but also to disparage Robin S. in the process. This bit of juvenile drama may be tied in some way to the near-loss of this book in the Great Big Gulp Deluge, though I cannot attest to this with any certainty."



Love that...   :lol:

Why would you need to carefully pack this for shipping?

I just thought of a fun game... and we can start with the joke on this seller.



somebody here should bid on this and when you win it DEMAND that he doesn't pack it carefully but just slaps a mailing label directly to the book itself... then we can send it around to each-other and see how much worse we could possibly make it...



Hmmmm, maybe that's how it got in that condition in the first place...  8O

That is some funny shit. Carefully pack a book that looks like it's been raped by a heavy-grit sanding pad.

T&T would then resell it as Fine condition - may or may not contain cover but a photocopy has been substituted.

Seller Says it is a First Print.

Actually it is a FIFTH Print.

Lists all kinds of data to (He thinks) back him up, yet his own LONG story lists the First prints being published in 1985 and HIS second picture shows a date of MAY 1987.....

ISBN on rear cover and the Yellow TSR LOGO in middle of front indicate Fifth print.

That rocks. Original value less than $50! I'm only asking you pay 60x that amount!

I think this is the first time someone has actually copied the description of one of my auctions (probably because I don't auction much stuff):



My auction:



http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0399102083



Their auction:
