The best bet would be to alert WotC. An IP holder trumps an average Joe as far as EBay is concerned.

The last time I tried, their site required an account to get in touch with them. Their loss.

I think the seller was stating that this version reprints the originals.

If that's the case, the buyer got a good deal. But the same seller now has an identical item up for sale at the same price.....

In Search of Adventure was a compilation of the B series of modules - B1 through B9 in one super-module, it's legit.

I own a copy myself, but it is curious that the seller has two of the same item at an usually low price. These often sell for over $100.00. If something is too good to be true.....

WANTED: A list of noteworthy UK sellers who ARE reputable, for the community's benefit! Is scamming D&D products by sellers in the UK a thing? I'd hate to think there are copycats of cougarrinard :roll:

This space can be YOURS if the price is right!!! (Okay, still working on this . . . :p)

Also note: the "hardback" version of the "Dawn of the Emperors" Gazetteer boxed set by the same seller. Good gravy. Not only scamming the buyers with cheesy reprints, but also giving them a hardcover binding.

Hold the phone folks. Every item I checked from the seller are available on DriveThruRPG in the formats stated. Given the bar codes, I'm pretty certain that's where they came from. Selling them at the price he is when they are available cheaper direct through DTRPG is rather cheesy.

Not really worth the effort IMHO.

At least the seller ought to be honest about the fact they are officially sanctioned reprints? Shady, shady, shady . . .

He did state they are reprints, though not from where. I'd make note that they came from DTRPG myself in the auction to avoid this possibility.

But that's just me. *shrugs*

Not sure how copyright law works in this case, but I'm sure the image is still copyright and might even be trademarked.

I reported both of the ones that showed up in the classifieds, as well as several others by the same seller a few hours ago. I positvely love the sellers claim that, "there is no copyright, because it`s from a private collection", which might be one of the most idiotic things that I have read in a long, long time.

These people are coming out of the woodwork these days.

Legally scanned by whom? If it was you, then it's not legal to sell bubba.

ACK! Look for item #293058088431

Pretty much everything that guy sells is illegal pdfs. That`s probably why Foul has him blocked already.
