Like I said before Paul(Stromber) just sold one a couple months ago in the Tim Jardini auctions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5173461064Because of the obvious mitigating factors involved, Stromber's Collectors Trove auctions will almost always do better than a regular sellers auction.

I don't care who had it so long as it meets my quality standards. I personally do not worship TSR staff or their croneis...man, I am beginning to sound alot like Deadlord...

bclarkie wrote:I never said that anyone "had to bid higher" or anyone "should bid higher" based on the previous owner, I only said the people DID bid higher because of those factors. Also, trust is a very important factor in bidding and Stromber is one of those sellers that folks are willing to trust, particularly on high end items. The burntwire bros. get the same kind of extra action because of peoples trust factor in them also.
