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.

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).

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."

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

Peace and love all round

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.  

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.

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...

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.

Regards

Mike

Yes they have.

I am actually surprised about this - does he need the money that badly?  

He is only turning over a few items each week, and he (presumably) is spending plenty of time searching for rares.  Despite the occasional big(ish) profit, his hourly rate is doubtfully that good.  I know that you don't get much money for rpg writing (see endless threads on Y-S.com, rpg.net  and elsewhere), but I would assume his name would have edged him into a few decent contracts if he wanted...
