Too bad you cant at least snap a picture of the entire contents of this and the Queen of the Spiders modules, so that we can see what is there to judge for ourselves if you dont know. These super sized modules (If complete and in good condition) normally sell for upwards of $75. Yours might get $6 because (it seems) you cant be bothered by it all. Best of luck.

I sent her a note before the one above asking for additional information about the contents, but she said she had no idea and no time for that.

Such a great question that the seller added it to the listing but not the ones about not being bothered to check if there was a map book.

It's really tempting to ask if she ships to Canada.

I wonder if she would allow a Canadian to pick items up in person at her place?

I DO NOT SELL/SHIP TO CANADA! If you bid and are not in the US- I will report you

Makes me want to bid just so I can be reported. :wink:

Her feedback is even better:

I just sent her a note for you, Mike: "I live in the US, but could you ship the item to Australia should I win? Thanks." Everyone should drive her nuts by asking her to ship to Denmark, Senegal, Qatar, etc....

I really feel sorry for her husband...

Hi,

I live in the United States but I'd like to have it shipped to my step-son in Denmark via my brother who lives in Zambia. He moved to Canada once.
Is that ok?

Thanks,

Hi
The auction picture is of Deities and Demigods, though the description says Legends and Lore. Which book is it? If it is the DEities and Demigods can you check if it has 128 pages or 144 (the 144 page version will have Cthulhu and Melnibonean Mythos). (There is also a semi-mythological 3rd version - known in D&D collectors circle as the 'Canadian DDG'. This book has 155 pages and contains the 'Python' Mythos, detailing the gods of Lumberjacks and Ice Hockey Players. If it is this one you would be well advised to amend the listing and would expect a glut of questions from Canadians (generally decent people, though notoriously dishonest, much like the English).
I wish you well with the sale, several of your auctions will no doubt already have many watchers.

I have a feeling I might be blocked from her auctions...seeing as she has given up answering any of my numerous questions.

I wouldn't normally be this annoying to a seller but the auctions she has posted really are a bunch of train wrecks. I just got an email from a lurker who said she replied to him that the Queen of the Spiders has no mapbook, but they'll include a photocopy. Nice of them to let this be known in the description...and nice of them to tell me "They don't know" or whatever.

Quick response

Dear gotyourgames,

Hello- I put the IBSN number in and Ebay put the above information in. My husband (who knows a lot more about this stuff than myself) said something about the two books are actually the same but they changed the deities & demigods because some parents had a problem or something- so it became Legends and Lore. Apparently they changed the IBSN to the new name- even though this book clearly says Deities and Demigods (It is the book in the photo). I guess I will have to add something in the description. I appreciate you brining this to my attention-this book does have 144 pages.

And my question is in the listing now - she must like me more than she likes Mike - perhaps she thinks he's Canadian

(Though her auction won't be hurt by the 144 page thing - inadvertantly I may have done her a favour

I asked if she will ship to the UK and if the Supermodules have mapbooks. I got a, "um...sorry, no" as a response.

I have just asked her which question the no was to.

I'd say distasteful and embarassing to read. Immature, petty and pretty contemptable too. I remember slapping guys around in grade school who liked to humiliate and harrass other kids.

This isn't gradeschool but it is a public forum. Choosing to harass this women publicly is not just wrong, regardless of the reasons, it is mighty stupid.

Hello, this is the lurker that sent Badmike the e-mail about getting a response from "funfearlssfemale" about the map booklet in GDQ1-7. I noticed that she answered your subsequent question about DDG by saying that it has 144 pages. Isn't that impossible, given that the pictured book has a TSR face logo (4th+ print)? Just wanted to point that out since I almost jumped on it (looks to be in great condition and considering her feedback, etc., thought I might get it cheap) without noticing and figured someone else might do the same.

Regards,

Nerelas
