Contact some of the other bidders and ask if they also got second chance offers?

I have not received a second chance offer on that auction and was in the bidding for most of the week up until the last four hours.
But I am bidding from Canada which can be determined by looking at the recent items I have sold and some auctions that I have that are ending today.

The second chance offer is probably from someone in Nigeria running a scam. It happens with all of the bigger ticket items. I think you'd be lucky if you paid and got photocopies but I doubt you would get anything.

W A R N I N G

The auction below, for a call of Cthulhu 20th anniversary ruleset, looks like the limited edition version (i.e. from the individually numbered 300 print run, with the gold star). I doubt that it is as; (i) these were never sealed in plastic, (ii) his description is lifted straight from the original ad (and probably from Paul's Y-S.com website).

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I thought it particularly worth mentioning, since there is a Ltd Ed. 20th anniversary set (i.e. Gold Star) on ebay at the moment, and some people might be fooled. I have sent him this message.

"Hi there. Although your stock photograph makes this look like the very valuable limited edition version of the 20th anniversary ruleset (with the gold star), I assume that this is the less rare version with the red star (and no signatures/stamp/label etc..)? If so, you may want to amend your description to avoid a disappointed customer. Regardless, Best of luck with the auction."

Red_bus is right. IIRC the picture in that ad is from a pre-production mock-up that Chaosium published. Note the differences in the embossed square on the cover. The mock-up is just a square, the real deal has small decorative tentacles embossed in the corner of that square. And plastic wrap = unlimited. The limited were wrapped in paper and bound with twine.

The guy has been cool enough to amend his auction now.

Peace and love all round :flower:

I am sure a few people have seen this one:

Greg Stafford is selling a copy of White Bear & Red Moon. I wonder if his reserve will be met? As hot as this game usually is I don't see the point of a reserve. PDT_Armataz_01_04

Elric boardgame (Avalon Hill):

** expired/removed eBay auction **

How does this boardgame compare to the Chaosium version seen here:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/191923

And Greg Stafford's original here:

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/129931

Are these all essentially the same game?

edit: I seem to have answered my own question. From looking at ALL of the pictures on the boardgamegeek website it seems that they are all essentially the same game.

Didn't he just win a copy from another seller a few weeks back?

That really pushes the line at the bottom of his auction: "...from the collection of Greg Stafford..." There is a certain amount of vanity required when you can buy and resell items only adding your autograph in order to increase its value. Hence the reserve price.

Greg has posted here before; maybe he'll stop by again and let us know if there's something we're missing. But it looks like an assembly line of buy product-add signature-sell product to me.

I've never begrudged someone trying to turn a buck or two, and lord knows I've enjoyed many of Greg's creative efforts ... but, I gotta admit, I'm just not real wild about this latest development. It's not the end of the world either way, but I won't be placing any bids.

Maybe not interesting to many of you, but I find this item to be pretty cool:

Shadowrun 4th Edition Limited Collector's Edition

And another one

Other one

And Ghostbusters.

Probably not a huge deal to you guys, but I've not seen a copy of that game, anywhere, since it was released. I think I'll bid on it...

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Not surprised one bit.

He turned a nice profit on the recent Wyrms Footnotes #1 - I think he paid about $200 for it, resold with autograph for $350.

Like Xaxaxe said, nothing terribly immoral about it - but it's unlikely I'll be placing any bids either.
