Rather than starting or resurrecting a bad customers thread, I thought I'd start one for people to give shout-outs to eBay resellers who aren't Acaeum members (as far as we know, anyway), with whom they've had good experiences. I'll start:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Role-Playing-Games-/2543/i.html?_catref=1&_ipg=&_ssn=tkgameshobbies&_trksid=p3286.c0.m1538

tkgamesandhobbies. His understated descriptions are a little sparse and don't employ any grading terminology, so at first glance I was a little hesitant. I took a flyer on three monochrome modules, and was pleasantly surprised to find they were in better shape than expected (VF or better when I was expecting Fine or so). Prices range from right on the money to on the high side.

I once dated a woman who sold stuff on ebay; I'm pretty sure she wasn't an Acaeum member or D&D player. I guess you could say we had our share of good experiences, though it gets kind of personal & I don't really want to describe things here.

I've had a few good experiences with Crimsonpermanentinsurance. Several rare items obtained at reasonable prices. I love the people who are willing to "make an offer."

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Guy Fullerton just shipped me an item lightning fast and perfectly described.

Me too. Except I think it was crimsonpermanentassurance. I'll be sure to check out this other dude, though, with the similar handle. Sounds promising.

Yeah. Sorry.

Too much annoyance with property insurance confused the synapse.

However, I do appreciate the ass-etry.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

mikesgreatfinds1 on Ebay is an excellent seller.
I bought from him already two times: it was each time just perfect : kind & prompt communication, perfect package and immediate shipping, accurate description. This new seller has posted here one time in classifieds if I'm correct. I confirm he is trustworthy and offers top-notch service.

amanadub deserves her own page.
Or at least some praises from us here as I know many of her RPG items are being purchased by Acaeum members.

Everything I have purchased from her has been spectacular in condition.
That might have a little to do with the specific items I have won being mintish...
She is easy to work with, answers questions in good time, has no qualms about combining listings, she is even willing to wait a short time if you are still bidding too.
Shipping is always fast, secure and though I have not tracked it, I suspect that shipping paid is very close to her cost.

Not too mention the collection she is working through is comprehensive... it's mindbogglingly large and diverse.

I've spoken to Keith (Amanda's partner/husband, I gather) several times over the phone. He told me there were upwards of 20 - 30 boxes of RPG items in Amanda's father's storage that were DISPOSED OF by other family members when he passed away, and what they're selling off is what remained when Keith and Amanda stepped in. Haven't had any direct interaction with Amanda, but Keith is a top-notch guy, very friendly and honest.

Let mirth prevail!

I just received an item from amandadub and can add my endorsement for excellent service. The rulebook is in great shape inside and out, with no staple rust! Good packing job with plenty of cardboard to keep it from getting bent or creased in the mail. Bummer to hear that a bunch of stuff got sent to the great RPG recycling bin in the sky, though.

I must 'third' this assessment. Got two sets of vintage dice from Mike's...fast, trustworthy service. Will buy again.
