Yes, it's mine. I haven't been active here for a long while, and I've played SWM even less. Decided to finally make room for other stuff.

I probably should have broken the map lot into smaller lots, maybe by map creator or something. I've had a couple people inquire about picking it up or shipping by UPS and I'm open to it. It's a huge lot, and the lamination doesn't help any. in that regard.

I've also had a couple complaints about shipping costs in general. When I set up auctions, the shipping is always estimated, and I'd rather that estimate be high, so that when I send the final invoice to buyers, I can actually send them a lower price, if possible. I've had too many auctions where the final cost of shipping was my estimate, plus the closing price of the auction. Not that I expect that to happen in any of these auctions.

On top of that, I'm sending most of these lots out with insurance. That adds around another $5 to the shipping cost. The few final invoices I've sent so far have come in around $3 or 4 less than the calculated cost of the auction, so while my estimates might be a little high, they're not insanely so.

Of course, everyone is interested in winning multiple lots, so the listed shipping costs will be mostly moot anyhow. I suspect that a couple of the smaller sets could possibly fit in the medium or large flat rate boxes, meaning two sets will end up shipping for the price of one, or not much more than it.

This is why I find shipping costs the most annoying thing on eBay!


(And I got a hold of that Sith Temple map by donating $100 to the kickstarter project, you'll note I still have two copies of the map from that project)

That is a real nice collection. The Ultimate Mission Books were awesome! I have most of the maps but the Sith Temple MAp is a must have! Glad to see the Counter was up to 185. I wonder who it is though. I'm always sad to hear when someone is selling their stuff and moving on though.

"Watch this auction" is your friend.

So is using eBay's proxy bidding system the way it's supposed to be used.

Was talking to someone about some other auction they were bidding on. He was upset that he lost an auction that he would have been willing to pay much more than the closing price on because he deliberately waited to the last possible moment and tried to submit his bid. I guess he clicked the 'insta-bid' button and it only put in the bare minimum needed to win at that moment, which got outbid by someone putting in an actual amount.

just depends on what you consider high

MP1 : $40
MP2: $30
MP3: $40
MP4: $30

Sith Temple : $25

5 Chris West Maps: $60

Laminating them all : expensive

So just for the Non-WOTC maps the retail is well over $200. Then the laminating is normally at least $10 per map (sometimes less)

So even at a really high price, this is still a "deal"

I am considering bidding, but haven't yet as I am still trying to figure out if it is in my budget to acquire these. The problem is that I already own most of them and would only be looking for a couple of them.
