Simple typo I guess but made me laugh:

Dungeon Module D1-2 "Descent into the Depths of the Ear

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

That actually would make a very interesting module...just some extra powerful potions of diminution and you're set. You could call it 'Fantastic Voyage'...wait, it's been done! :lol:

It must have been relisted too.

I saw that same book early last week.

Um... no... I don't think so...

RPGâ€™s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. Itâ€™s bonded me together with life long friends...itâ€™s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

My white box set sold for less than half that much last week.
Box was better, though the books about the same.
Plus I had a 4th pring Greyhawk in the listing with the box too.

Though the buyer has yet to pay for it.
I might be relisting mine very soon. :lol:

I usually give a week from date of sale, even though I'd prefer 3 days or less. Some folks need time to transfer into their PayPal acounts. Sucks, but it happens. The nice ones let you know ahead of time.

$91 vs. $165. Or were you meaning $0.99?

That doesn't take much doing...

I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST ITEMS IN THE MAIL.

Someone needs to tell this guy it doesn't matter what he wants, it is what paypal and ebay will stick him with as the seller.

He has 100% positive feedback with one neutral in the past year, so that isn't bad.

He says this dog-rogered module is "very rare."

How very unintentional but true.

Cthulhu Bedtime Stories?

Nothing particularly funny except the item being sold (and the complete lack of description of what it is).

This lot is neither huge nor rare. Seller lists the score or so of character and castle cards from the Ravenloft boxed set as Books.

So which copy do you choose as your listing picture, the beat to crap X1 or the decent looking X12?
