Wouldn't worry too much: JG didn't go in for highly bleached paper. :)

that looks to be a good deal on the face of it, but why unethical?

Thanks! I've gotten a ton of bargains on ebay, but for every one that I have gotten I've missed dozens, and for each one I've also watched thousands of non-bargains roll by.

Speaking of unethical, how is that eBay can state that it is up to the eBay community to police other members when they remove the tools for us to do that? You cannot even see who won now, not to mention the bid history!



How the hell are we supposed to police the community when eBay ties our hands and removes data to do it?



Nice win, though not unethical :roll:

Check out the sellers infringing copyright thread. I've reported this same bozo half a dozen times now, and ebay does nothing. I can't stand ebay. I've now sold a couple of things on RPGmarketplace and I don't know why more people aren't using it. I mean anyone who has two copies of the same item should at least put one up there. The more people who start listing things the better the place will get. Things like that snowball. If enough good stuff starts appearing on RPGmarketplace people will start shipping there.
