I kinda thought that having 100% on 350-odd auctions would have been some sort of indicator of honesty though.Think you are wrong about the muppet comment though. I hope so anyway, otherwise it makes me look a bit like a muppet.....Interesting remark about the pix - didn't think of that one. Assumed that people would realise it wasn't a stock photo.Cheers.

Linking to an outside web site is also apparently a NO NO. Several auctions have been closed recently by E-Bay for listing and linking to this site as an information source. Sometimes a seller will fail to mention that the picture in a listing is NOT the item being sold. In fact this is SOOO common that MANY large stores on E-Bay state in the auction that the picture is the actual item in that specific lisrting and others state that the picture is a stock photo and that the desription is the way to determine that items actual condition.IMO: The pictures in your listing show FAR more detail than words usually do. I had no trouble at all determining that those issues had been hole punched and I never had a problem bidding on your auction, even with the hole punched condition. That is until they got to a price I am not willing to spend for them. They are after all just 12 single large sheets of double sided press printed paper folded in two..... I also never saw any reason for sending you any nasty notes or to resort to name calling.And even though those above who spouted out about muppets and bad seller behavior in your listing (I agree that they MIGHT have a limited point in this case) I feel that they went overboard in the critisim and harrasment too.There are some here who take this hobby FAR more seriously than they should.

mbassoc2003 wrote:Kiwi17 - Okay. Sorry for flaming you. It was a sharp introduction to a board that is normally very welcoming of strangers. Your set of PANs are doing better than I thought they would, but then we don't see those on eBay too often. It's been a long time since we've had the Tortured Souls rare issues up (10 and 12), and GameMaster Publications GM1 A Flight of Eagles, and GM2 Find the Lady, haven't been seen in these parts for a long time too. GM1 could hit £100 in the right condition. And if you've got ST1 Up The Garden Path, you're minted.

For my part, I really enjoyed the "muppet" discussion but was dissappointed no one took up a discussion of "twat". If it means the same in England as it does here than perhaps it is best left alone.Like I said, Welcome. Look forward to you posting in the future.Martin
