I can't Google up any reference to the supplements, so I don't know what the heck those are.

I get the feeling that the other books are not actually related to the RPG book but just coincidentally have the same name "RUS" - probably historical RUS books.  RUS in the RPG book has the two dots above the U and it is the same in the other supplements I have seen.  The extra bits in this auction don't have them.  I placed a curiosity bid

If you want a tracking number, YOU MUST ASK FOR ONE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.

I understand the perils of selling on Ebay and I am sympathetic...but this is another seller who has missed the memo.  It is the seller who needs to track an item to prove delivery, not the buyer.  Without it, the seller is completely vulnerable to a PayPal dispute.

To some buyers that is like a sign saying "get this for free".

I know it's on my list, which means it has to come up at a point when I've decided not to do any buying for a while.



(And, like Mars, I'm curious as to whether those other books are really for the game or not.)

Rahasia, but not the best seller feedback ever:

Last one went for $1625. Let's see how this one does. Often wonder how many watchers something like this gets.

this looks particularly nice condition

Assuming you're in the 90% he ships the items to

I really wish the Acaeum would get rid of some of the subjective quotes that people then copy into their auctions: "and possibly less than 20 still remain."

These seem to show up about 2 or 3 copies every year.  Documented here and on the Tome are sales for about 10 copies sold in the last few years -which probably means there were another 5-10 sold that were not recorded.  This also doesn't include the copies that people have in their collections from before the recent sales, GenCon sales - I seem to recall Blackmoor picked one up in the GenCon auction a couple years ago, and Crazy Egor sold one from his booth, etc.

I think a more realistic number would be 40-50 copies still remain in existence.
