"Keep you hands where I can see them!"It would seem to me the fellow has a right to anonymity without being taunted, but what do I know. I am sure in reality he is evil, rips people off and eats babies. Nonetheless…Welcome, Flatlander. It is nice to see another Washingtonian in these parts.

How else can the guy find so many n00bs to pay what they do for the "RARE" 5th printings of Keep on the Borderlands?I am no code breaker(though I did watch that goofy Windtalker movie one time) but I am close to figuring this guy out. I think that each "!" that he uses is code for an ounce of coke. Each "NEW" is a gram of weed and I think (and I emphasize think) that RARE is code for the number of Oreo cookies that he includes in his shipments. Hell yes he is scrambling to fill your orders. He can't freaking believe that someone is actually interested in books.Dare ya to buy one of his items and simply delay payment for two months offering back to him the bevy of 2 bit excuses that he peddles like a modern day snake oil. Strike that...what would his wife rub on his scales after a long day of not filling orders.Whew...I feel better now. I suggest we help him come up with a new name. We can email him our top choice.Andy

I've been collecting this stuff for no good reason for several decades. I specialize in purchasing the affordable downtrodden and forgotten bits that other people pass by on eBay. Then I look for specific printing tidbits and post them in a randomly selected thread that has nothing to do with the topic at hand...it's fun.

I got my info about the printing from this site, so I thought I would check out the forum since I wa thinking of getting an ebay password and bidding on some things. I can see now that I made a mistake.
PM-Knight wrote:BC, In all fairness, the seller (a Mary McWhorter) did not advertise the book as a 1st print, as I have been watching it. We (NetRodent) are the ones who posted it here as a first print. Mary was kind enough to send me additional photos and the ISBN on the back cover tipped me off, as I forgot that the number of pages should be 232, as opposed to 238 On the other hand, you are correct about the image for the item, as the photo of the cover she sent me does not look as nice as the one on eBay. If someone wants to see these, I will post them, but I did not want to take up too much space unnecessarily.

Boreas wrote:Wow. Maybe I am a tad bit slow, as has been so eloquently proven by the forum police, but what exactly did she do wrong? At this point, I am asking the other bystanders and not the police/judge/jury/executioner.I have been exchanging pm's with Lorin who is trying to determine exactly how she deserved this. I am afraid I can't provide much in the form of an explanation aside from consoling her and insisting that this is not typically how folks are treated here.
