It seems doubtful that someone could have accumulated that many rare items (and multiple copies yet) without having used Ebay at least as a buyer. Furthermore, I would think that any serious collector wanting to liquidate his AD&D collection would have posted a notice to the Acaeum concerning a sale. Something just doesn't seem right with that auction. Unless the seller is willing to make some water-tight guarantees my gut instinct would be to avoid him. Low feedback and a list of items that sounds like my Christmas list - I dunno . . .I think I'd take my chances bidding on those wads of chewing gum that Britney Spears supposedly spat out before I tried bidding on this auction.Regards,The Egg

It would be next to impossible to go after him. Even if you used Paypal, he is apparently not a covered seller, and all he'd have to do is withdraw the money and close the account before he hopped off to Bora Bora. Unless he offers escrow, I wouldn't touch that auction with a 10-foot pole, even though they usually only cost 1 s.p.
