Very much so.

At best, this is a fishing expedition ... at worst, it's beginning to sound scam-a-licious.

i dont think i would even entertain shifting that kinda money to someone i didnt know or who wasnt well known anyway...know what i mean?

i am far too suspicious in my nature like that.

does sound a little odd though i have to say...but who knows, might be genuine.

funnier things have happened....such as JonB wouldnt con anyone, maxipad was a a nice guy and paypal are the most helpful company one could ever hope to meet  :P

Nope.  I think it's someone here playing games, honestly.  But that's ok, I like games. ;)

Probably jacking us around, or has photocopies for sale.  

What's up, Bergstrom?

Dragonlord is a pretty neat game. It's a large pad, basically, stapled together, with maps that you detach and use. You command armies of dragons, using the cutout chits. It is similar to most miniature rules games.
In order to use it, you have to take the pad apart. You could probably photocopy everything if you wanted to. I imagine the reason it is so rare is just that, the need to disassemble it to use it. Most people probably used it, bagged it up, and eventually heaved it.


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

I agree.  Suspicious for sure.  Maybe it's the same person in disguise that unethically swindled that big lot of old goodies, including WW items, off ebay a while back when there were already bids placed.

Okay, after a little back-and-forth with the guy, I think this stuff is for real.
