Absolutely. Just let me know when you'll be by. Do you go to Foxwoods or Mohegan at all? I'm usually there once a month to make a withdrawal courtesy of the red man, we could hook up and I'd be happy to bring some of my stuff down.

I haven't been in a long time, but it's more for a lack of people to go with than anything. If I end up going for some reason, or next time I'm heading up to NH I'll send you a PM. Are you in northern or southern NH? My family lives in Manchester.

Woohoo!! Tamoachan came! This is by far the mintiest tourney module I've ever seen. Super slight spine wear, couple tiny dents and creases near the spine, no stains, no tears.
The 297 is in black pen, so the 1-100/101-300 theory is wrong in part at least. I do recall 193 being blue marker.
I meant to ask before: Is anyone here able to get in touch with the Hickmans? I'm really curious if they would be able to tell what the print run for Rahasia and Pharaoh was.

Put me down for one too please.

Why I never picked one up at the time I'll never know.

My cousin was given ST1 by someone who was working at the Stoke-on-Trent garden festival.

Hey John - I like your postal-points on your ebay listings. I live in south london and the local sorting office is a black hole. no really.

The Royal Mail really seems to be going down the pan. 18 years of underfunding followed by several more of regulated competition for the lucrative business market. Given that there is no affordable alternative I'm not taking the blame for these mistakes. So, I give the option to collect in person. If someone wants to take the risk with the PO, then I act as an their agent to purchase the post and insurance. It's their choice.

But saying all that I haven't had too much stuff go missing. Only 2 of my sales. And about 6 items I've bought never showed. But do I complain?

... and if you do complain (as I have done) you get.... a book of stamps (at least they still have a sense of humour).

This just arrived (Thank you Post Office!)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 3192427674

Take a closer look. G1/2/3 and D1/2/3 Australian monos!

Although the photo doesn't do them justice. The modules are unused and in excellent condition. Not sure about the price though. A bit high?

But even more interestingly the modules came with this sheet:

404 Not Found

So, apparently an Australian combo of G1/2/3 & D1/2/3

Sure looks like it. Went too high for my liking.

It is definately a nice group of items. They look pretty clean. But I'm not too sure about the price. Seems a bit high to me. But you do have a few nice items there...so if you are happy...all is well.

That module pack is very interesting.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I didn't think the price was that bad, for what was in the lot. I bid up to $444, but I suspected there would be a few others out there who would out-snipe me. If I'd won, I would have been pleased to pay that for what was in there, and stretching to $500 I don't think is paying more than the items are worth.

Congratulations John - all the stuff looked to be in excellent condition and I'm glad it turned out that way.

Regards

Mike
