Ebay Supremacy!!!!

May. 30th, 2005 at 5:22 AM

Phew. Good job I set my alarm for 4.55am :p

There were a whole host of items on ebay which I was after that finished between 5.05 - 5.20am which I knew would be hotly contested. How hotly I wasn't aware until the closing minutes though.

Someone managed to beat me on two of the items in the closing seconds, just pipping me by a single dollar. Still I managed to win 11 of the 13 I was going for so now owe a lucky man in the States just over $380 + about $80 shipping. Ouch!

The good news is that I'm now most definetly up for a weekend 'Supremacy' bonanza in the near future when everything arrives!

:D

Back to sleep for me I think. See you later when I wake up at a decent hour!

game fun

Just got back from the con. Sorry, there were no Supremacy items, but it looks like you got some anyway (yay!). I got some nice minis, an old boxed set of Glorantha, one of Paranoia, a Blue Planet core set, a Fading Suns supplement, and best of all, a beautiful a/state core rules and supplement with lots of signatures and pen drawings even from its creators. yay! I also got lots of Pirates of the Crimson Coast packs and a strange little circus card game in German (haven't looked at it yet.) My game (Dead Inside) went well and the games I played went well and there was a brilliant party after. I also won the T-shirt one only gets for gaming for 24 hours straight. I gamed for 32 hours, er not counting Sunday. Wheee. Yay Guinness. Yay caffeine. On the flip side, I'm currently less than coherent, but haha. It is all definitely worth it!

Re: game fun

If you like A/State check out LJ Users rpgactionfigure and boxninja as they are two of the minds behind the game. I can't remember how to do LJ User Link code in plain text but both are listed on my User Info page.

I've been meanign to check out Dead Inside for some time. I brought a copy on PDF last year but haven't managed to get the time to have a proper read of it. It sounded really good.

Is the German card game anything to do with a Flea Circus by any chance?

Congrats on all of your purchases and weekend gamery btw!

you tel it what you want, and the max you will spend, and it will bid for you as the auction closes. and keep bidding up to your max.

It will also allow you to choose "If I don't win this one bid on that one" and so on.

it's excellent
