HOLY CRAP!
That seller had about around 100 BIN listings just a couple of hours ago.
Now just 25 listings period...

Apparently the MERP BINs were too good a price to pass up.
I do not collect them so was not really paying much attention, but there had to be about 25 or 30 listings of MERP stuff alone.

Perhaps the listings were pulled for some reason. Here is a list of the seller's games items sold for the last 15 days:

No MERP anywhere.

That list does not show the Warriors of Mars book either.

However I know it sold... almost at the same time as the two 1st print supplements that sold earlier than the Gods-Demigods and Heroes I listed above.

Here is the Warriors of Mars right here:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

At the top it states "This Listing Has Ended" and shows no high bidder ID.

When I did a completed search for Warriors of Mars it shows the BIN price in green which to my understanding indicates a sale.

http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_trksid= ... =1&_ipg=50

What weirds me out is that normally when someone buys with a BIN and you look at the auction listing after it has ended, it shows at the top of the auction listing "This Buy It Now Listing Has Ended" and shows a bidder. That's not the case here.

Got me....have you tried asking the seller if someone bought them or not?

Wonder why the WoM did not show up in your original search?

Mystery of the buyer is that I am he... Which is why I am so certain it sold.
At that price, I could not help myself and it was on my wish list anyway as I do not yet have a copy.

No, have not asked the seller about the MERP listings as I am not really interested in MERP and do not collect them.
I only mentioned them above as a I Know that many members do like them and collect them.
I suppose it is possible I got two sellers listings mixed up, but I honestly do not think so, as I posted the note above right after hitting the Mars Bin.
(Did not wish to risk loosing Mars by drawing attention to the sellers listings)

Could have been an Ebay glitch? I did a normal search again earlier just to make sure that I didnt accidentally click on something to change the way the items were listed and it didnt show up. But after you posted this I did a search on your items won and it showed up. I then searched solintari's ended auctions and now it is showing up.

Still not seeing the MERP items though. Go figure. :scratch:

EDIT: Just caught my error (I think). The original search I did only shows 12 items and they are all listed under Role Playing Games. The later search shows all 14 items listed under Games. And the WoM was listed under Minatures, War Games. Still dont see any MERP items though.

Thanks, it was pure luck...

I just happened to be cruising the new listings just moments after it was posted.
I also bought three of the four 1st print Supplements that seller had listed and the three Dungeoneers.

The G-D&H Supplement was just a tad less perfect than the others and just a hair more than I wanted to pay or I would have BINed it too.
Even so I thought it was BINed at a good price.
Looking back, I should have hit that one too. :oops:

King's filter was for the Role Playing Games category. If you open it up to include all Toys & Hobbies, the listing appears.

Great pickup! Congrats!!!

Those auctions went for good money. I project out that each shrink module went for about $25- $30 apiece [though many of which are fairly easy to find cheaper]. Each module went for about $10- $15 apiece [not sure their condition merited that much, but you never know]. Amid all that gunfire I came out with two OA modules in shrink for 30 bucks!

Sounds like you never played Dragon Dice The Game (vs Dragon Dice the RPG accessory).
