Not only is he one of the many "we-want-recession-in-the-US-so-we-won't-accept-money-from-foreign-countries" guys, not only isn't he the slightest inclined to compromise (the would-be bidder had a friend in the US and PayPal), he also replies in monosyllables. Good thing I'm not an eBay administrator, or I'd ban such sellers for moronism.

TSR put out black and white reprints of some of the the books after original stock ran out. I have a Blackmoor version that I bought from TSR. I cannot say if all of them were reprintred in this manner though. They could just be personal copies...

Someone here a while back mentioned there was a final "photocopy" release of Swords and Spells but I didn't hear anyone backing that claim up. With the cover of Eldritch Wizardry being black and white I am guessing it is a photocopy - authentic or not.

That just sounds like trouble. Are the covers still a thicker cardstock or just paper as well?

Looking at the bigger pictures, I'm tempted to say that there's some staple rust on them.

Of course that doesn't mean they're authentic, just not new copies.

Excellent! You should post that in the TSR kitsch thread.

A must have for the TSR completist. How many in that series I wonder?

The quintessential 1980's/Miami Vice color scheme: hot pink and teal blue... Nice... And it's "flame retarded"! That's important...

bonk!

Just have someone here act as a go between for you and purchase it. Then send it to you via mail from the US. it'd have to be someone you trusted on here, obviously.

Fourth question might be "are you selling RPG stuff because you lack the verbal capabilities for playing it?".

Yeah, you've made your point ... :roll:

Look, the guy is clear in his instructions: he does not ship internationally. It's his decision; deal with it.

And let's not claim the moral high ground here. We all know those are fake questions to begin with.

I was only making a petit jeste at his specific referencing of certain nationalities being to blame. But, fair enough, I will desist from any further now.

I was referring to one specific post; I should have used the quote function.

I admit the guy is a little bit over the top ... it's one thing to mention "I do not ship overseas," and it's quite another to go on and on about it and specifically mention some nationalities. That is a little much.

OTOH, we've already got "shipping debate" threads here, and this thread tends to get derailed easily, so I was also getting concerned about that. I'd get us back on track if I could .. but I haven't done any TSR searches lately, so I'm completely useless in that regard.

Ah yes... I think I see what you were referring to Monsieur X :wink:

But back on track: one Groovy Poster. I would love to frame this one on my living room wall... But then I would never get laid again.

Still it does look nice.
