Yeah, that's insane...glad I'm not the only one that thinks so.  Actually, I have a SW one if anyone is interested...(it's bloody annoying, I can't open it!)

I actually just got up and saw that one myself.  I tell you what, if someone is interested in that auction, I have both of those books in better condition, that I will happily sell for half that. :wink:  Where do these people come from. :roll:

Good lord!  I could toss a Deities and Demigods into a woodchipper, force feed the pieces to my dog, and he could still crap out a better looking copy that that.  :D

Besides, now that I think about it, weren't those things going for $1000.00 just last Christmas. :P :lol:

thx for the reminder. That one went rather quiet... Crazy seller!

Hmmm, its that empoweredguy guy. He bought a bunch of stuff from me over the last few weeks. He only bids on shrinkwrapped modules and he absolutely refuses to get outbid straight up on just about any auction regardless of the cost. :roll:  Best thing to do is to let him lead early and snipe him at the end. :wink: Assuming that someo other idiot doesnt come in and get into a bidding war with him on some of the other modules, watch and see there at the end and I will show you. :P

In looking at the stupid amount of money he has thrown your way in the last month I would have thought you might have spoken better of him. Heck maybe you should stop using Buy It Nows and he can run up your auctions.

Actually, I wasnt really speaking bad of him at all. He spent abou $300-$350 on my stuff over the last month or so and paid right away no problems. :)  He seems like a decent guy to me as well, but I just question his bidding strategy. When you consider the fact that my BINs that he used were at best half of a lot of stuff that he bought from other sellers, then maybe you are right.

He is willing to spend money. I guess I worded it wrong. His willingness to spend "top dollar" and then some worked out for you. I was just commenting that if was not willing to buy no matter the cost perhaps not all of your auctions would have closed with BINs.

In either case here is some one shooting for the moon.....

Hmmm, nothing quite says "noob" like an Ebay auction on a small lot with an opening bid of $350.00 and a reserve price. 8O  :roll:

Bummer, I was really interested in OP1... Not for $76.00+ though!  Sheesh.  Anybody else have one at a reasonable price?  :)

You said it about the bidding war!  Man!
