I just bought Archon from them. Email communication was good and the game arrived in time. However, I had also bought Neuromancer and they said there was a problem with the buy it now items and the games (they had multiple copies) were actually already sold but Ebay automatically relisted them.

WTF? I thought maybe this was shilling or something, but I see Peter Olafson bid $350. Looks like Dan was prescient when he said about selling the games a la carte. Stuart -Original Message- From: Josh Lulewicz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 12:04 AM To: [EMAIL

OH. MY. GOD. That's insane. I have a complete shrinkwrapped version of Cannonball Blitz. I happen to love Olaf Lubeck's work and CB is my favorite game of his. But wow, I would never pay $455 for the disk and manual. That's it - I'm gonna put something on eBay around the week of the 17th.

$100 for the disk to a Donkey Kong clone. Nice. This keeps up people will start selling individual games a la carte ($25 for the manual, $50 for the disk, $15 for the reference card, etc.) On May 6, 2004, at 10:22 PM, Josh Lulewicz wrote: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
