Flatlander wrote:I see, thanks. I dont yet have an eBay account, but I've been thinking about it. Mostly I trawl the local gaming shops in my area, and garage sales and such like. If I open one I'll let people know. Why? What's the theory behind avoiding each other's auctions?
Flatlander wrote:I dont think this lady meant to decieve anyone. Copy of her reply to my similar inquiry below. Just someone that doesnt know the item. I take it you were the angry e-mail she got:"Dear Lorin,Thanks for your clear and thoughtful description of the "D" characteristic. My camera was not working at the time so I used a stock photo. Yes it appears that I have ruffled many D and D collectors' feelings/feathers. One very angry one has already angrily written me. I'm just a Mom selling an unwanted item. But as I told him, I would never tarnish my 100% rating through misrepresentation. I have even written the loan bidder and asked them to review my revised comments and photo. Should they decide to renig, no problem. I would rather end the auction and donate this book that I have no need or appreciation of to Goodwill before I would jeopardize my standings with Ebay.Thanks so much for taking time to educate me on the first edition status vs 3rd through 8th. I was unaware of multiple printings. I really just hoped to make less than 10 bucks on another unused item as we downsize our home and possessions. Thanks again, Lorin. You were kind.Best wishes,mary"L

In fact, it's darn near impossible. Those of us who get along well will often try not to push up each other's bids needlessly, but it's not a "rule"
