[ fortressat.com/forum/10-ameritrash/19555...icially-out-of-print ]

I was fortunate enough to purchase GOW the Board Game during a Miniature Market daily sale back in early January. I'm glad I did; great price, great game!

Charlest posted an official response from FFG a few days ago (link above), and I thought, "Damn! I better get that little expansion pack!" By which I mean the POD 'GOW the Board Game Mission Pack 1'

So I tried my two FLGS. Sold out. I tried the two online retailers, CSI and MM. Sold out. So I restorted to eBay.

Paid a little more than CSI, but no big deal. Buy-It-Now, credit card charged, email confirmation. Done and done!

Until it wasn't. 48 hours later, my credit card was refunded and the seller apologized stating the item was accidentally out of stock.

Okay. Shit happens. So I did it again with another eBay seller. Paid an additional two dollars, but whatever. Done and done!

Until it wasn't. Same damn thing as before.

Okay. I sometimes make shitty dice rolls so I give it one last go. Three times a charm! Third (and last) seller on eBay, paid 16 bucks. Done and done!

Until it wasn't. Here's the message the seller left me after refunding my card:
"Hello ,
We are very sorry to inform you that during the handling and shipping process, the product was damaged. We do not ship damaged products to our customers.
Unfortunately, this was the last one in our stock .
We asked our suppliers for additional product but this might take few days to verify .
We will refund your money ASAP .
Sorry and thanks
Item currently removed from ebay listing"

This was on 1/25. Well guess what happened today (1/27)? The mother fucker posted the item again (3 of them) for $61.26!

I just reported the case to eBay, and I contacted the seller. Of course, nothing positive (for me) will come of this scenario, but I wanted the limited satisfaction of letting the party know I was onto the dick move.

So hey everybody; eBay seller amirpriov is an asshole.

UPDATE: Apparently, good things can happen! I sent the case to eBay as a fraudulent auction, and contacted the seller to let him know. The next day, I get a notice from eBay that an item has been shipped. Yesterday, the mailbox had a brand new, undamaged copy of the GOW MP 1. Interestingly, my credit card was not charged again after being refunded from the seller the first time. I'll keep checking my statements, but apparently - I got it for free.

Many thanks for the support everyone! Special shout out to CharlesT who had my back in case I was left without officially sanctioned GOT missions.

Fuck man... shitty!

Keep an eye on MM and CSI, I got their MM copy of POD and that was after everyone else was reporting it was gone. It just popped up.

Also, someone in that other thread said their local game store might have on the peg wall. You might be able to arrange something with them, if they were willing?

That'd be me. Bought it, and looking at it right now. I already have it committed to someone right now, and I just let them know I had it yesterday. So, to that person check your PM's! But if he backs out or decides to pass I'll put you at next in line.

Thanks for the back-up offer VonTush!

I should not have been surprised that some prick would pull a stunt like this on eBay. Still, I needed to vent and you fine folks at F:AT were the recipients. Thanks for tolerating my bitch post.

My local store has it in stock, and I know that because I was holding it in my hand on Sunday.

I posted an update at the bottom of the OP.
My lingering question now is; how do I rate this transaction on eBay?

If you're worried about him negging you in response to whatever you leave, don't leave any feedback at all. If you want to protect others, I'd leave a negative or a neutral (at best). Sure, you got what you paid for (or didn't pay for) eventually, but you had to go through the system to do it.

Edit: I guess sellers can't leave any feedback but positive now, so do what your heart tells you.

That sucks. It's not just Ebay. I found a copy on an obscure UK games site and ordered. That was over a week ago, and it's still not come in the post - and while I was waiting, it's sold out everywhere else. They're not answering the phone and they're not replying to emails. I paid with debit card rather than credit card or PayPal, so I'm not even sure if I can get my money back.
