Re: I hate snipers
Thanks for all the comments. I normally don't do auctions, but with these books it's the only time I've seen them available for years. Trying to out-algorithm auto-bidding sites is clearly a skill I'll need to learn. Practically impossible to bid at the last moment - takes time to enter an amount, p...

I hate snipers
Grrrr. Thought I'd got the Tony Bridge book of QL Adventurers on eBay. Watched - less than a minute to go all was fine - and then over the space of 6 seconds the price was upbid beyond what I had bid several days ago no less than 7 times. 4 different bidders. Apparently. Wouldn't be surprised if one...

Re: QL Book of Games
I don't think that any games were typed-in. This was only the second time that I could find the book for sale, and there are no scanned copies of it. (so it was you who beat me on the bid by 50 cents :) ) No two other people beat me :( If I ever get a copy I'll try and type in the games and then se...

Re: Today I Received...
Actually a couple of days ago I received a box full of QL Today magazines from Rich Mellor
which was nice.
Also a self-assembly bookcase/cabinet which I have half completed.
Now waiting for a tiny widget that's required to do the cabinet.
And a couple of books.

Re: Today I Received...
Arrived today 8 years worth of QUANTA magazines.
Two years are duplicate but at a price of just under a pound per mag for the rest of the 6 years it's a lot cheaper than I've been paying
The dupes will find their way to a marketplace in due course.
