I have several of those with a couple of them being opposites of each other, one with nice cover and less than nice booklet and one with a nice booklet and not so nice cover. I put the less than with the less than and the nice with the nice. I had wanted to make a gift of the less than. There was somebody I knew who wanted one real bad but could never afford it. I was going to gift them the copy with the condition issues. Well, you know how that turned out. It never occurred to me that trading components of the same item printed at the same time by the same people at the same location would be an issue. Selling game parts for the purpose of completing games with missing parts has been an industry standard for years. All of the game stores keep parts. I understand there's even a thread at that other site devoted to it. But the presumptions in the community always lean towards the nefarious. Anyway, I don't mind being the bad guy. It just makes me spend more money

On top of that, the whole "secret forum" is a bunch of crap too.
He created ToT in a baltant attempt to divide the community and to secretly subvert Scott and the Acaeum. If there really is anything to this "divide", it was ToT forum that caused it, not the other way around.

If you don't you have no cause for complaint.Shipping goes hand in hand with feedback in the things that generally irritate people about ebay - the best answer is to not let it bother you too much .* though the number of people that still ask I pretty much ignore those questions I'm afraid - customer service is one thing, but I have a low 'stupid person' tolerance threshold
