Can't help but note that all his auctions have reserves -- the Master Player Screen as well.

Been a while since I paid any attention to it, but what's the going price for one in shrink these days? To me, $10 seems about right, but TFM obviously thinks otherwise...

$10.00 is about right. This item used to be quite common in the shrink.

I've NEVER believed only 20 existed. Dunno who came up with that idiotic stat. Hell, there are WAY more than 20 Fazzles/Tsoj/C1-2's in existence, and those would be MUCH harder to keep intact than a bound book.

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

I guess he wanted more since the reserve didn't get met.

And we have a sale! TFM's Orange B3 in the shrink, for $1800, reserve met.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Congrats to the purchaser (whoever you may be, now that eBay is hiding winning bidder names too). Of course . . . since it's in the shrink, you'll never get to actually see all those pictures that led to it being banned. :twisted:

Damn, and I'd just saved enough to consider a purchase like that when this stupid "have to have your wisdom teeth removed" thing came along... oh well. There'll be another, some year.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Irritating that - does anyone try and keep track of bidders by checking out the feedback numbers and second-guessing the random letters. I admit that I just stopped looking, or trying to work it out. (Though i admit to looking at a few peoples recent wins, just out of morbid fascination.)

For Instance I see Bclarkie has bought a few odds and sods lately

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0301144387

(Winning bidder is r***k - so 5th and 6th letter, which makes me o***u.

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

No, it doesn't work

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0301144387

e***b is red_bus, 2nd and 5th letters

.

(Too much time on my hands it seems. No offense meant to BC or Red btw - just happens that they were the first couple I checked out. Could easily have been many more buyers - mostly members here

)

I wonder if it was re4321. Not sure who's ebay account that is, but I've noticed him/her as a winner now and then.

Actually, I need to edit this message...the winning bidder on Ebay for me says "e***1", and definitely re4321 has more feedback than 31...

His feedback is at 734 - he's still winning a few rpg items - nice guy as far as i remember from the dealings I had with him. (IIRC he went through a period of buying lots of original art, but I could be wrong)

yep - going through his feedback, looks like he has bought a lot of stuff from the 'specialist' types over the years - burntwire,tsrart,collectors trove,dracoshorde,btb.galhavoc(is that Monty Cook?), as well as from loads of the 'standard' rpg selling names.

Just got the weekly Noble Knight Games email and it says:

Prices are:
Ghost Tower of Inverness, The (Limited E (Module) NM- $2,495.00
Lost Caverns of Tsojconth, The (WinterCo (Module) NM- $1,795.00
Lost Tamoachan (Limited Edition Collecto (Module) EX $1,995.00
Up the Garden Path (Module) VG+/NM $2,995.00

Noble Knight just announced their giant year-end sale. 10% off everything in the store! That might be all well & good, except when they jack up the prices of everything so that the 10% off isn't a sale at all.

I checked out the above items, and they were all jacked up a couple hundred dollars so that the 10% didn't lower them. :roll:

I am a big supporter of NKG. I do most of my online purchasing through them, and they are my first stop when dumping portions of my collection. However, I gotta say I hate it when I see stuff like this though. Makes me wonder if everything was jacked up...

I guess he is not as noble as he says he is :lol:

Doesn't surprise me much though. This is the same outfit that tried to charge me $20.00 to ship a few packs of dice, he was whining that they went to cheap on ebay. (My response to him was don't sell them on Ebay then)

His big sale...........pay the same price :lol:
