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

On the other hand, Tonya's Titan Games explained their heavy shipping fees up front, but didn't exactly get respect for it.

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.

And the writing in those memoirs is hilarious. Wheaton is a good writer and his observations on Star Trek The Next Generation are funny as hell.

I pointed that out more than once.

Tonya hurt herself with mean talk and surly customer service.

In his newer work, he plays the main bad guy of "The Guild" 2nd season alongside Felicia Day. http://www.watchtheguild.com/

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

That's not a bad deal.

EDIT: It was so good, I bought it. :oops:

To re-sell, of course.

Hell, I would have too.

Furthermore, I would have put it in the Non-TSR thread. Filthy, nasty WotCeseses! They burns us!

Curiosity over. 30000 views with no influence on ending price - actually I think the buyer got a pretty good deal.

Damn you Will Wheaton. And your bad luck too!!! *shakes fist*

J/K

Surprised me. As well documented as it was, and all the attention, you'd think it would have approached the $5600 one last year. Everyone more concerned with the Gygax auctions, maybe?

When I saw it was the same one I sold to Bombadil a while back, I only bid what I paid for it $3000.00 since that's what I sold it for as well. I didn't want to see if go for less than that or I wanted it back myself ....

So it's at about the right price, if I'd gotten it at $2500~$2900, I'd have been surprised, but wouldn't have complained

I'm pleased that it ended at $3k and hope that the new owner will cherish it as much as I have. Good deal all around.

I'll say, especially in the non-TSR category (like quite a lot of stuff from Pacesetter, the TSR spinoff company).

This seller has an interesting bunch of stuff, including this lot:

And this lot:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Don't know if the starting prices are too high or not, but there's a LOT of stuff in those lots.

Both are pretty high starting bids but maybe not too crazy.
