Depends on the Post Office. I've heard different things from different Post Office workers. If the magazines are current, it's almost certain they'll say no, but if you tell them they are 20 years old or so, I've sent them no problem.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

That's great to hear. Has anyone managed to sway eBay sellers to ship media? It looks as though many sellers don't intend to ship media, which can make postage excessive.

Dragon Mag Archives Issues 1-250 plus Stratgic Reviews 1-7.

Complete DVD Set with a BIN at just $75... $6 Shipping in the USA

If I did not already have a set of these DVDs I would not have bothered to list the link here as the BIN would have been hit immediately.

In fact, If I had enough ready funds Ida done it anyway to resell at a higher BIN later on.

Even though it is a 30 day listing, it wont last that long.... :lol:

Maybe so. I place my bookmark bid, and the auction was cancelled. :evil:

Someone probably offered up some money to end it early. Oh well.

Hopefully Amanda did receive my message and that's not the case: if so, expect those to be relisted separately. Shall see...

I expect they wont. One of the Wilmark Dynasty items just ended early as well. Someone is getting what they want, and probably at a decent discount too.

I just dont like it when sellers end auctions early AFTER people have already bid on them.

Yep. It angers me.

Best,

I agree. In most cases the seller is probably getting less money than they would have letting the auction run its course and telling the "deal maker" to bid like everyone else. And the unethical segment of our community is looking for naive sellers to rip off in just this way.

Agreed when that happens (rather too often and not just on eBay...).
Listing those separately should be better for everyone; well, aside from resellers, sorry.

I sent her a note to let her know their value and that she would get max value from listing them separately, she claimed they were listed as a group by accident.

So, there's a chance they'll reappear.
