Hmmm... perhaps the feedback being from one person only tells a small part of the story.
I noted that Shelley made no reply to the negative feedback.
I certainly would have if what was being stated was not true.

If you are looking to bid on multiple items, it is always worth asking about the fee to combine auctions.

If you look at the auction the buyer won, shipping for 1 polyhedron magazine is listed to cost $5 by media mail.  I'm sure all 5 magazines could be shipped for this amount by media mail.  If the seller adds on an extra $1 or $2 per auction, then the handling fee gets pretty high.  If the extra shipping charge was a flat rate $2 per auction, then I would definitely be leaving negative feedback too.  This type of charge is what stopped a lot of buyers from buying at "Tony ass wap shop" too.

I'm not sure what extra fee they are charging but having a DSR of 4.6 suggests that their handling fee is fairly high.

When prices are up front, there is little to complain about.

I agree.  Sellers who do this are usually vague when asked and rarely state their fee within their auctions because they know it will drive customers away.

Anybody recognize that Player's Handbook? By elimination, it's the one in the middle...

That's a book cover/skin.  I have most of them, including that particular one.  They had a nasty habit of gluing themselves to the book permanently!

Wil Wheaton? The geeky kid from Stand by Me? Wow, reality is stranger than fiction, I guess!

Well, yeah, and he played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: TNG too. He's become quite the geek culture chronicler in recent years, and has published a couple of memoirs through Subterranean Press, which I haven't read.

BTW, love the quote below your name...that's from G1, right? I saw it a few weeks back and it rang a serious bell. I got a G1 as part of a lot I bought and saw it! The hammer actually says, "here's a kiss for you, runt".  

Hector.

Yep, that's where the quote variant comes from

Seriously, he has a lot of geek cred.  He has survived being a child actor without negative consequences, and he's a geek.  I have listened to the WotC podcasts where he and the Penny Arcade crew play 4E, and he sounds like he had a blast.

Maybe he can get hired as Charlie Sheen's replacement.

I'm curious if that will actually translate into a new high selling price.

Not sure. Can't hurt
