Given the couple of nuggets thrown in here, this was a nice pick-up for someone.

What problem needs to be "fixed" exactly? I understand people get frustrated when they get outbid on something, especially at the last second by a sniper. But shit happens and you move on. In this particular regard, Ebay has made it simpler by hiding bidder ID's. Now I dont have to worry about outbidding another Acaeum member because I dont have a clue who else is bidding on the item I am interested in. Used to be if an item I was interested in had already been bid on by another Acaeum member I might not bid on it just out of courtesy, but that depended on the item and how badly I wanted it.

It is not really a problem, and I knew if I left the wording that way someone would jump on it. Back in the good old days, I generally avoided bidding on those "hidden" gem type auctions if an Acaeum member had already found it. Call it professional courtessy. That did not apply to well known items (either posted here, or easily located by the simplest scans of ebay).
That said, all is fair in love and bidding! But overall, I liked it better when I knew who the competition was...

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

The seller also has a couple of the gold character sheets that werent made publicly available. So who is willing to fork out a couple hundred bucks for a couple of sheets of paper? :wink:

Saw this. I'm trying for the Greyhawk Folio and D3 myself, though I doubt they'll remain in my price range very long.

Didn't see this when I posted the Easley painting. Jeff is also selling some original art "game board" for a TSR game of which I have 0 clue...

When you say 'Jeff', do you mean that's Jeff Easley on Ebay selling it?

Wow. That's so curious. You know, I was wondering why his website isn't up any longer. I'd check it out from time to time, but I remember a couple months ago, it wasn't coming up and I just thought it was a server-related issue or something.

Me too. I talked to him awhile ago, via email, and there's some stuff happening with his representation I believe...
