This is a private listing. Your identity will not be disclosed to anyone except the seller


let the speculation begin :D

I don't think it's money laundering.  I think it's "stupidity laundering".  The sellers know these prices are crazy, and want to protect the ID of the foolish bidders (if any) so that good folks like us can't warn them. ;)

Need a partial collection of 1993 collectors cards? Well it will only cost $1400.00 if you are interested. 8O 8O 8O


What, no takers yet? I can't believe the deal everyone is seemingly passing up. :roll:

BTW, I think that seller could also be listed in the shady sellers thread.  Not only is this stupid ass auction listed as private, but look at the sellers feedback and some of the "auctions" that he has been buying and selling. :wink:

I just sold #15 for $5.50:

cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&a ... T&rd=1
I'm sure it would have gone for more had the condition been better. However, it went to a well-known reseller, so I'm certain these are going up in value. I just wanted the thing out of my house, so I was happy to take the $5.50 and run. :wink:


I had #22 go unsold at $5.00 (not the best condition)

I'll group it with the #15 and see how they do together...quiltmom or stephen may be interested!

Are these things in short supply in Italy?

Stranger still is it paid for the entire lot from whence it came

Maybe I could tell that in italy prices are different ...
maybe I could tell that I need that item ...
But the truth, the real truth, is: I'm stupid  :?  :?  :?
what can I do??
if you are sellers, keep notice of this fact!  :)

Careful with that wink; the buyer's on the board (Giorgio/<radagast>).

[edit] too late!

Hiya, Giorgio... Are you still needing 1st prints of the supplements, or are you happy enough with those?
(still got you email to answer: thanks :))

Thank you! :D

I definitely have a "spare" Blackmoor lying around, somewhere. Certainly no later than a second print; possibly a first.
Will have a look, later, if you're interested in a free copy?

(Beats getting "taken" for another $100+ sale, anyhow).

I'm always interested :D .
Seriously, I'm bidding on a copy of supplement II ... (and think that only saturday I've bought a copy of the four supplements from Sotteraneo) ... I start to be worried by my craziness!  :?
BTW, if you have something to sell ... you know I'm here :wink:
(the only problem is that I've not got the Neverending Money!!  :roll: )

ah, I see;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5199445496

Is "only" a Wizard logo copy, but doesn't look too bad. (Hopefully the scan being trimmed isn't hiding anything).

OK; let me know if you don't win that one, if I forget to check later...

Know that feeling well! :P

What is this "sell" business, though? ;)

What can I say?! I don't know. The only word I understand is "buy".  :D

Probably, this summer I'll spend a couple of weeks in England (my wife is in love with England!!): she would like to visit the south (south west).
any advice?
thank you in advance

Hey, if someone has a spare Blackmoor, Eldritch and Gods lying around and doesn'y know what to do of them, well, remember myself too...  I am known worldwide in taking good care of orphaned original D&D supplements :wink:
