What a great scenario. Best possible outcome would be for Al to win these on the cheap, Cougar loses his ass, then can't rip Killjoy on the shipping or Al will marathon run over there and feed him some fist. Worse outcome, but still entertaining, is Al wins, then Cougar either "loses" the items when sent to Al, or insists on trying to stick Al with a gigantic shipping bill. Still entertaining, because then Coug might be waking up in a hospital bed picking bits of Al's marathon delicious mint cakes out of his nose, ear and arse. Sweet! Al, I might have you start bidding on Cougie's items for me if this one works out well!!!!!! :twisted:

well truth be told, i already have one of each, so i am not THAT bothered really. the plan is, IF i can get them, is to keep the best one of each and then sell the other, so lets see.

will be very surprised if nobody else bids tbh.

Al

I think everyone should deliberately NOT bid, and let Al have it for stupidly cheap money. Then perhaps he can pass it on to someone in need for a really nice price. Coug gets fuked, and everyone involved is ahppy.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Indeed. One of the main reasons I haven't sunk my claws into them yet. The other being I just can't bring myself to bid on that shit-bag's auctions.

Let mirth prevail!

Since Dave is unlikely to reply to my queries, I am very unlikely to bid. He has never replied to a shipping enquiry yet.

It would be hilarious to see it go ridiculously cheap,
and see Coug's face pucker up like the south end of a north bound camel.

That would be amusing :lol:

Although that does put pressure on Al to sell it for a 'really nice price'. He may be happier just putting it up on ebay.

You're also assuming he ever receives the item...

If Coug could stiff a billion people and do the right thing by just one then Al would be the one got his parcel! (Remember Dodgy DM Dave is WATCHING

)

(I notice a few 'names' bidding on Cougs Beastmaker and Blasted Lands - anyone manage to get a shipping quote yet?!)
(And why is his L3 going for £50 already - go to Asgi.co.uk (waves to Al) and get the set for £65)(been meaning to ask Al, how much to ship that puppy?)

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

so what did you make of that then?

two somewhat unusual wins for a french bidder with 9 feedback who has one totally unrelated ebay win in the last year, to shell out so much for 2 items and amazingly to bid right near the end too!

well there ya go

defo something going on there mightily unusual. yeah the "buyer" was getting other things off guido, but would someone so new, just bounce in and pay quite large amounts for 2 items off the beaten track, one someone new wouldnt necessarily know what they were?

ah well anyway no matter.

Wow

I knew that I had kind of screwed myself when I put up Kobold Hal with a BIN of $69.99 that I had made a mistake but after looking around here more closely I now fully realize just how bad I came out on the deal. I have since made demands of all my friends selling their stuff to look at this site way before even considering listing items on eBay. I think I should be added to your Christmas card list bclarkie for essentially giving you that module ::sigh::
