That brings me back to my original question. Why buy your own items against real buyers. He's bought two now.

Remember Maxwell and Tommy9896? Tommy9896 bought like 15 of those WotC banners from Max. Who knows?

Hey, you two...! A little more reverence for the holy artifacts of RPGdom, please!

You've still not answered my question, David.

*reads back*. If it's that question, is still at the postal depot

And only just arrived today, apparently, unless they forgot to tick the "recorded/registered" box any of the earlier "unable to deliver" cards. Got a small stack of these now (nearly two weeks worth) since they've recently decided only to re-deliver "priority" items on Saturday... *meh*.



That's what I get for telling them it's not OK to fold-up or otherwise crush any package until it fits through the letterbox.

There may be a small stack of those 'customs charge required' cards there too.  :wink:  I'm tempted to get a big pizza box letterbox for my door.

oh now there's a surprise ***NOT*** - didn't see that one coming ***feigns shock***



wonder what the reason is going to be this time then



prb for the best anyways if you ask me!

just got this e-mail from "the directors":



Hi All,



After much consideration and discusion with my partner I believe it is too risky for the bidders participating in this auction to be bidding so highly on the pictured packaging materials.



I am not comfortable selling to people at such a high price, especially since a few of you have been e-mailing me regularily and have been very pleasant. I would have been more than happy to have got £180 for the whole box, but as someone has already pointed out, I might have been told to 'keep the rest' and ship only a few items.



I'm sorry for all the inconvenience. It has been quite an eye openner for me. I'll stick to Lego in the future.





so ummm are they like keeping it or what?  8O

didn't you read the rest of it?

"No shipping or insurance costs. I will ship to the winning bidder with full insurance and a tracking number. This will be either Special Delivery for UK bidders, or AIrmail Airsure for international bidders.

From advice given to me by various bidders, and one or two non-bidding parties (possible the snipers that I have been warned about), I have a value that I am comfortable selling this lot at.

I will circulate an e-mail after the initial responses have been received and list the upper few bids with no names against them. That way each person can identify their own bid but not the other bidders.

I will also give everyone the oportunity to amend their bids up or down as they see fit.

The final bid price and the winning bidder will not be disclosed unless the winning bidder choses to disclose his or her identity.

I would ask the nutter that offered a £1000 valuation to take this seriously. If I get an offer from you in that area, I will not be selling it to you anyway.

If you are interested in the above items as a single package, please e-mail me with an initial offer.

Thank-you for your interest.

Bella."

tell ya guys, i dont like the sound of this one bit. i won't be going near it for all the tea in china!  :?
