I've tried using the search but the results it returns don't make sense to me.

Tried: dragon magazine
Get: Some dragon magazines, but also get chainmail, gamma world stuff, traveller stuff, etc...

Went to advanced search and tried: dungeon (with defaults) and it returned no results.

Is it me or is it me?

I have already complained about the search...

When you search Dragon Magazine, it looks for both "dragon" and "magazine" in titles and descriptions ... so you get a lot of hits since the word magazine is in many descriptions as well.

Not sure if they'll make any changes to that, but I can't get it to search for only "Dragon Magazine" as a whole either...

hopefully they will put some login into the search down the road.

Use boolean notation

eg +dragon +magazine
or +dragon -magazine

How do you select Buy Out only? The sell form won't let me through unless I enter an auction value greater than zero.

I took the plunge and listed one of my original contributor copies of the Chaosium monograph Undying Leaders on the site.

It is set as a two week auction. If this one sells I will order a few more in the near future and sell them there also.

Check out my Chaosium sourcebook.

Put the starting bis at $100.00, then select the "buy out" and put $100.00, then it's a "Buy Now" type auction

Thanks Doug, I'll give it a try. Just to let you know, I've had a couple of emails I sent to adminATrpgmarketplaceDOTcom four days ago bounced back to me. Can send you all the headers etc. if you need them.

jasonw1239: I noticed you mentioned there was no Canada Post in the shipping list, please let me know if I need to add things to the site... I have now added Canada Post...

Same goes for listing categories.. I tried to use The Acaeum and other sites to determine a good way to list items, but it can be changed, added to, etc.

Thanks Doug! I just changed the text in the listing to remove that reference.

Another thing I noticed when I listed my first item, was when I tried to set a specific date/time for the auction to end and it seemed to keep defaulting to 30 days. I could however select the two week option from the drop down and went with that. No big deal, but it may be something you can test when you have a chance.

this is actually a cool site and i will keep recommending friends to come here.

i listed an item tonight to try and get used to it. will list some more over the next few days - little long-winded maybe, but still quite cool nonetheless and its pretty straight forward!

take a little time to get used to it i guess

thanks guys

Just received the manuscript, notes, and original hand-drawn maps for Cairn of the Skeleton King from Al. What a beauty of a package!

BTW it looks like someone ponied up the $2200 for the Ghost Tower Limited edition. I think I recognize the name, one of our Italian members?

Go to Advanced Search (on the banner) and click it, then click "Closed Auctions Only". Oh, and make sure you click "Both" under the Listed In category....

Well got regsitered and after looking all over and I could not find a list it button. Looked through this thread first, saw nada. Went back and finally noticed the store button and a possible solution came to me. Went to my personal area and I Started a store thinking that was the only way to get an item listed....

Did'nt think to read the FAQ's.........

Okie Dokie... asshat......
Oops :roll:

sorry again......
Now I am using an Acaeum registered insult.
On myself no less............ :oops:

A suggestion.

Create a note on the main page showing asshats and idjits how to list instead of placing it in the FAQ's.

Yeah I know most folks will look in the FAQ's first before tromping about in their own muck......Most men dont ask for directions.
