This is more a curiosity than a collectable item:

Second picture: what does the description mean? Are these "unbalanced" dice?

Haven't seen these character sheets before:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


The seller has sold one prior to this listing, so they might have more copies.

Not sure, but I'd be a little more concerned about this blurb on the back: "California Proposition 65 Statement: WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."

Does "reproductive harm" mean a kick in the balls?

Don't worry, if you don't live in California, you won't be harmed! Those chemical sh*t affects only californians...

Bidder #1 (possibly a reseller) put in a bid for the item that they thought was more than enough for this item. They were misjudging the shrink market of course. Then bidder #2 came along, placed a bid (and also outbidding bidder #1 on the other ICE module Red Bus has up currently), prompting bidder #1 to place a much higher bid on both modules. Bidder #2 replied and happened to pick the exact number that bidder #1 was at. Bidder #2 then (hours later) placed a higher bid. Bidder #1, possibly incensed at being outbid (and possibly still bidding because someone has requested this item) placed two higher bids until finally placing a bid that is currently the highest bid (although exposed, almost daring a reply). Will bidder #2 retort? It doesn't seem that bidder #1, even with their thousands of feedback has learned the lesson that the best way to bid on ebay is to place no bids at all until the last five seconds of an auction. Which is why (besides the large feedback number) I'm guessing they are a reseller. They bid on many things and can't (usually) be bothered to bid at the last moment; they would be spending too much time at the computer.
The other ICE module that Red Bus has up currently is Ghost of the Southern Anduin. Bidder #1 has bid the same amounts almost identically on both items, again making me think they are a reseller. The high bid on Ghost Warriors is currently 205 pounds. I would bet money that the high bid on the other module is also 205 (although we can't see at the moment because the bid of 180 is at the bid increment). If there are no more bids we will never know. So I hope someone else bids to see if my theory is right. I would laugh if bidder #2 bid 205.01 at the last moment, not giving bidder #1 time to reply...

Is auto-snipe bidding still around, or was it banned or something? I never used it because it would have resulted in winning too many auctions, while I rely upon my own laziness & forgetfulness when  not remembering the end of auctions, to avoid spending too much. It's like work-ethic in reverse.

You mean money, right? Asking because compulsive buying might happen alongside compulsive eating.

Thanks!  I now have some afternoon entertainment scheduled.  Will it be a dud or a nail-biter? :)

And...I was wrong. Bidder #1 had put in a high bid of 185 on Ghost of the Southern Anduin.
Percentages, it's always percentages.
In any event, congratulations to Red Bus!

LOL. That was one of the first POD printed RPG titles ever, back before they could support 8.5x11” sized books ;)

I don’t recall our print run size offhand now, but it may have been as low as 300-500 copies.

Allan.

Ciao Allan, congrats in any case! My first print run counts less than 50 copies!!! So you had a great success thinking also that you made it at the dawn of the POD model!
