Howdy folks - just wanted to let all my fellow gamers know that I started 22 auctions tonight (Sunday, March 22) on eBay. The auctions include mostly d20 items including modules, sourcebooks, and accessories.
And I listed two Open Design adventures written by Wolfgang Baur! These are patron projects and are not available to the general public, so this is an excellent opportunity to get them.
My eBay username is garyfran - these auctions end next Sunday evening, April 5.
Peace!

I just put bids on both of Baur's things and Green Ronin's "Vulgar Unicorn" adventure.
I'm new to ebay, only a couple purchases in the last month or so. I signed up for PayPal just for you (I don't even know what it is).
I haven't given feedback on any sellers yet cause, frankly, I don't have the time or motivation. What's the point anyway? Hope this isn't a problem...
Perhaps you can see that I've always paid immediately -- and that I've won every bid I entered... all, um, 4? of 'em.
I want these three items! Are you allowed to close the auction early? Like I said, I'm new to ebay and don't know if you're allowed to do that -- or if you'd get any stigma from it.

I have 6 days to outbid Molech... Hmmmmmm.....
Go for it Molech and good luck to the rest of you fellers if you wanna jump in! Oh, and if I had Steam and Brass I sure as hell wouldn't sell it - I didn't find out about OD until that product was already done and gone. And the senior patrons who helped design it won't allow it to be reprinted for the public. Oh well - still wish I had it. :)
And yes, I could end the auction early but I'm trying to get some money for Gen Con and so I need all I can get. LOL! Especially since I found out yesterday that the guy I'm sharing a room with isn't flying in until Thursday......and I bought my plane ticket to arrive on Wednesday! So...I'm gonna have to find a cheap motel outside the city I guess for one night.
Anyway, good luck on my auctions - those are some great gaming accessories and most of 'em have never been used.

Hey, this is kinda fun. I've never played this before.
Tell ya what, HedgeKnight -- tell me about these two adventures from Wolfgang Baur. I don't know anything about them at all; or, at least, all I know is that the Open Design thingy is where Patrons give designers a concept and pay for a written adventure. Oh, and I'm pretty sure "Empire of the Ghouls" is True Ghoul adventure, perhaps a sequel to Dungeon #70's "Kingdom of the Ghouls."
Here's what you can tell me to make me bid more than $100 or so:
Are they in color?
Is the paper quality strong?
Is the artwork strong?
How many words per adventure?
Is the writing strong?
Thanks.

What is "Steam of Brass" and where can I buy it?
you can't buy it.

Steam & Brass is an open design project by Wolfgang Baur that was limited edition and no longer available.

Feedback is important, for both sides. If you haven't already done so, I'd advise you to give positive feedback to the sellers you're already satisfied with.
It gives the sellers peace of mind that the item got to its destination, and they aren't going to be hassled for non-delivery.
And it helps them show other bidders that they give good service.
They (should) then give you positive feedback, which makes you more attractive to other sellers (or bidders, if you ever decided to sell your stuff).
Sellers have the option to block bids from members with low positive feedback, which would suck if you found something you really wanted, but couldn't join the auction.
Plus, if you do ever have a dispute with someone, and they give you negative feedback, it's not the end of the world if you've got a bank of positive feedback to act as a buffer.
One bad transaction out of 100 sellers, still leaves you with a 99% record, which is still considered trustworthy.
If the only feedback you ever got was the one bad mark, you'd have 100% negative feedback, and other members would boycott you.
Hope that helps

Okay, I gave feedback.
Advice, please...
I gave one of the sellers Neutral feedback instead of Positive. I wrote that I would make another purchase from the seller but that a package-accompanying personal letter: the "life history" of the seller, was "unprofessional, awkward."
A quick browsing of others' feedback has nothing like that.
I wrote accurate, honest feedback but am still concerned -- I was not going to mention it on ebay but the "feedback" thing kinda forces it. What'd'ya think?

I described the adventures briefly on eBay - both take place in Baur's world of Zobeck. And I agree on Ghouls - I think it is related to the adventure in Dungeon 70.
The inside of the books are black and white, including artwork which is not great, but decent for a module. Not sure how many words are in each, but the writing is pretty strong, after all, Wolfgang (IMO) is one of the best.The bidding is going very well - I'm surprised that Shadowcrag is already at 70 bucks!
Snorter is right - feedback is important to sellers and buyers alike. It helps build trust in the community and that's important for me whether I'm buying or selling. And Molech, it takes just a few seconds to leave feedback.
Not to change the subject of this thread completely, but eBay effed up when they took away the right of sellers to leave negative or even neutral feedback on dead beat buyers! And now sellers are at the mercy of buyers who CAN leave negative and neutral feedback! WTF???
Anyway, my advice is that if you as a buyer are satisfied with the item(s) you purchased, then leave positive feedback.

Well, I got 'em!
You're $180 richer HedgeKnight. $118+61+1
Not sure if that was you going after me at the end, there, Fray -- for "Castle Shadowcrag." I put in $104 w/ 6 minutes left, probably jumping the gun a little. 'Cuz I had to almost immediately jump to $113 at 4 minutes left. Final was at $126 with 1 minute left hoping the guy I was up against (you, Fray?) was going dollar by dollar instead of $10 by $10.
It was lots of fun; I look forward to seeing them come in the mail.
Have fun at GenCon, HedgeKnight!

Dude you rocked the bid war on Shadowcrag! Just boxed up your books and refunded you some shipping. Will ship 'em out tomorrow. Thanks again!
