The time has come for me to find a new home for the Jade Hare.   I am however not sure the best way to do it.  I would like people to have a chance to obtain it so I am leaning towards an auction of some sort.  Anyway, based on feedback I'll make a decision in the next few days.  Don't get me wrong...It is being sold.  I hate to part with it but a cash crisis has forced my hand.

Have you thought of doing a private sale here, rather than an auction?

How long has it been since we've seen a Jade Hare with a cover up for sale?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I haven't seen one in five or six years (but it is just as likely I would have missed one).  Here is an interesting thread from the acaeum archives:


search.php?search_id=790716324&start=380


Could it be, Sir Kill Alot, that the seller you bought yours from was the last person to sell a covered jade hare on ebay??  If 2002 was the last year one went up for auction, who knows what the price might be  :D

The free-wheeling guy who was selling things out of his van a few years ago sold one on ebay more recently than that, if I recall correctly.  He flared up here with a lot of intensity for a few months, and then just vanished.  Anyone recall his name?

Cover...sorry for being cryptic, my original post was done so late at night that after reading it today, Bozo could have typed something better.

Here are pictures I took a year ago.

I will take more\better ones on request.

There was one other auction of the jade hare back then.  I fell out of collecting shortly after purchasing this and the tournament Tsojconth so I am not up on its auction history.

Here is the thread of the from the auction you mentioned back in Nov '02.

Quick question for people...I have 4 messages sitting in my outbox right now.  One to bombadil from Sat night @ 8pm, one to bbarsh from 1pm this afternoon and 2 to ScketreWhisp®.  I thought maybe they sit in the outbox until the person logs in and reads them.  Is that really the case?

Some people seem to have them sent to email and never click on them on the site, as best I can tell.  I have a lot that never got moved over, but that were part of discussions that moved to email.

Put it on Ebay if you decide to sell. You get more Degassy types bidding on there than you will here in some limited auction imo. Selling it on here just reduces the visibility of your item. If this is "rare" as some poeple make it out to be then you will get much better action on Ebay.

it's not something in my league, but I'd agree, there should be an Aceaum auction thread.
possibly more publicity on ebay could be outweighed by seller costs and the chance a schmuck buys it to just re-sell rather than having such a rare.
This sort of thing should stay in the hobby via private bid auction.
Just my 2cents

That's why I put up RPGMarketPlace.com

So put up an auction there if you only want (or mostly want) Acaeum members to bid on something. Just advertise it at the Acaeum.

There are not quite 200 members there, but only about 10 sellers I think.

The classifieds don't work well to auction off an item, especially with no replies, and trying to PM bids can be a pain... thus: rpgmarketplace.com was born (that and eBay fees suck)

That was my original reason... seems it mostly gets used by Italy and the UK users than any one else, although Jason Zavoda has put a number of items online.

Of course, perfect solution. Ridiculously, I keep forgetting about that place to check out goods...  :oops:  :oops:

Now added into my favourites!  :)

Let me know when it goes up for auction and where.  I'd love the chance to purchase my namesake module.
