“ THIS ITEM IS MINT SEALED HOWEVER THERE IS A SPLIT IN THE CELLOPHANE” :lol:

Looks ok inside the damaged shrink, but not sure how makes it Mint :roll:

Rolls a '3'

Thunderdave wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:My pleasant Scott Bizar / Barsoom memory:

When I was a kid my local fgs was Waterloo Hobbies in Stony Brook. I want to say it was Scott’s family that ran it (could be wrong) and he frequently worked the counter (1982-ish?). They had a an excellent fantasy fiction section, shelves and shelves!, and when I happened across Burroughs, Scott recommended the series, suggested I read books 1-3 in order, and that set me off on a lifetime love of Barsoom, fantasy, sci-fi, rpgs and gaming. I’d probably only read Tolkien and had a basic set at that point when I started visiting Waterloo, by high school I was elbows deep in the rpg hobby and Waterloo & Scott were a big part. Super nice guy, always had time to chat with little old me, and I had no idea he was an author/game publisher.

I’ve since collected just about everything FGU and have tons and tons of game books from his store. Happy memories . I hope he’s doing well.

Thanks for this! Cool that you met him in the old days. Can't say I know him real well, but Scott is today a feisty and engaging 70ish-years-old. Always an interesting old days anecdote every time we meet up. I oughta interview him if he's amenable.

Seller listed this as used however it looks to be still sealed. Possible chance to pick this up on the cheap?

Maybe not... :wink:

Edit: long day folks... Apologies, 'Sealed' in the item description. Disregard this... Ugh.

Waynes_Books wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:You're right. This is why I love the Acaeum. You guys have saved my bacon more than a few times.

I asked Scott if he'd provide a note. He is sending one to me now, and it'll be added to the book.

Very cool. Thank you.

Well, that just added $200 to final bid price.

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

Here we go. Another copy has surfaced, maybe due to the recent sale?

** expired/removed eBay auction **

This one might be missing the last page, according to the seller. This copy also isn't registered on The Acaeum, but it does look authentic.

I just registered it.

Note that the actual number is #266, not #288 like the auction title says.

Ah, I saw that it popped up and thought I made a mistake! I already noted the discrepancy on the Facebook Acaeum posting but not here, so thanks.

IMHO, in that condition, I'd say so. Mine is in way worse condition and I think I paid a bit more at the time.

The math doesn't look too bad for this auction start price. Same seller that has the Tsojcanth tourney module.

Dragon Dice (newer).

That guy has been selling games for *ages* I think. Do I recall buying MERP from him over a decade ago??
