Yes. You make that perfectly clear.
And for some reason go out of your way to be rude when I haven't done or said a damn thing to you.
Please don't PM me any more.

And, as an aside, as you have already given a few members here a PDF version of this, (which I appreciate isn't as collectible as a print copy) I think you should respect your customer base I little better.

Please forgive me for wondering, but--did everyone suddenly decide they DIDN'T want a 2nd cover copy?

I am confused.

How long will it be available? I'd like to order but, like several of us, I am waiting to get several items in my cart to order (to avoid several shipping cost).

Who exactly are you referring to here besides MetamorphosisSigma and ashmire13?  I dont have a clue why MS feels the need to annoy people with his PM's.  Maybe he needs to lay off the herb.  As for ashmire....he obviously has an issue which he feels strongly about and is using the forum to voice that concern which is entirely within his right.  And at least he did it in a way which I thought was professional.

While I dont necessarily feel that he needed to post an apology, I dont really understand why there was the need to post the query regarding why none of the Acaeum members had purchased the 2nd print yet.  If that was the reasoning for the apology I dont believe it was posted until later when he edited the post after 1 am.

You've been a member here long enough to know it doesnt usually work this way Gnat.  And I really dont mean to be a dick here but you could heed the same advice when it comes to posting about Noble Knight Games' Ebay pricing and descriptions.  We get it....you think they are idiots.  

I went ahead and purchased the Crystal Skull adventure along with Hell's Outpost last night after I found a coupon which basically paid for my shipping.  Unfortunately there is nothing else of note on Lulu that I want or need right now.  Seems like most of the other OSR publishers are putting their wares on RPGNOW instead.

Sorry if that bothers you, but it needed to be done; I was just the first to do so (but not the only one).

Ah, but you misunderstand my intent.  It doesnt bother me when someone calls a seller out for a ridiculous price or an incorrect or misleading description.  I've done it many times myself and even emailed Aaron Leeder directly regarding the Chainmail debacle.  But when someone repeatedly does it over and over again after they have already proven their point.....that is what I was referring to.

Thanks KoP, I just want to make it clear that I'm not trying to create an agenda against Thork. Initially I was trying to get a handle on why this item was being bid up over $100. Gnat gave a good response to that.

Now that Thork appears to be getting angsty about members not purchasing his work immediately, I find that distasteful, especially as he just made 125 bucks!

With regards PMs, I also took offence at Thork implying in his unrequested PM to me, that he was implying that I am outside of his intellectual circle. Something for which he kind of backhandedly apologised.

I feel that Thork is creating himself a sense of self-importance and intellectual greatness.
I don't particularly care for such acts, so I have withdrawn my request for a purchase of his other Ltd works and won't be buying further from lulu of his work.

And as THeHistorian & KoP have said, purchasing is based on what's financially best and as lulu tend to do discounts on a monthly basis, I think a bit of patience would be professional on Thorks part.

Other sellers, such as PGS, BHP etc run items, are happy to sell what sells and then appreciate and look after their customer base.

I haven't been rude, but I agree that this conversation has run its course.

I hope that you continue to prublish decent quality products, as those I have are good.

Unfortunately text does not carry tone of voice behind it Gnat.

My posts where we discussed the rarity / quality basis of this product had no content where I am rude. If you feel otherwise, that's a shame because it is very rare that I get involved in confrontational discussions here, after being a member for many years.

If anything, Thorks PM to me may be construed as rude.

I will never consider myself a collector, certainly not in comparison to anyone here, but I am an enthusiast and I enjoy the forum, I enjoy the conversations here and I am still learning about the TSR products.

Only with two/three members have I ever felt that I wanted to comment because I was irked, mostly those who came here from T&T claiming that they were turning things around. And from the posts that I have been involved in along those threads, I haven't been alone in expressing my concerns.

Whilst I am in a minority here in regards Thorks product and (my interpretation of) his behaviour, I initially was only trying to find out what the thoughts were in regards this adventures collectibility.
