Some good news, I bought myself a Scanner and so I’m able to provide
Scans of the games upon request. So if you’re unsure what the games of
your choice look like, feel free to ask me to send you a picture. (Will
be difficult on bigger games though....)
More games are gone - winners will get a seperate notice. (I’ll send out
winning bid notices with the next update as I’m short on time right
now!)
Min Increment is $0.50.
I’ll only post the ‘Top 3’ bids of each item - so if you placed a
bid on an item and don’t find it - that might be the reason.
At http://www.gamecabinet.com and http://www.neonate.org there are a lot
of English rules for German games available. If available I mentioned it
in the description. You can also find a lot of Knizia-game-translations
under http://www.cix.co.uk/~convivium/filelist.htm If anybody knows
other sources for English rules for German games - please let me know.
Also have a look there if you want to get an idea about what the game is
about.
Another thing I found out is that shipment from Germany isn't as
expensive as I thought. For most games (up to 4lb) shipment costs will
be $9. Shipping more games at once will lower shipping rate.
I'd like to run this auction as a 'steady auction' that means I'll add
up to five more items each update. Updates are three times a week. The
going, going 2x phase starts one
update after there's a bid for the item.
Feel free to mail any questions you have concerning the games.
* Payment via Money Order or Check, cash at your own risk.
* I'm alway open for trades. I'm specially interested in out of print AH
titles and 3M games.
That's all for now. Happy bidding!
Thanks for reading and please forgive me all the mistakes I make when
trying to write in English.
