E-bay Fraud 16 years 8 months ago #1

I read a funny E-bay listing for a True Dungeon token.  In the listing the seller specifies that the token will be useful when True Dungeon is run in Europe this year.  Nice to see the usually quality of honesty from E-bay sellers. <br /><br /><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< QUOTE FROM E_BAY LISTING >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /><br />OK, all you 18 people that are watching this item....I am changing my payment preferences and my shipping locations.  As we all know, True Dungeon will be in Germany in a SHORT amount of time.  Therefore, I will ship to Germany, and Australia.<br /><br /><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< END QUOTE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br /><br /> cgi.ebay.com/TRUE-DUNGEON-TOKEN-GEN-CON_W0QQitemZ120153763201 <br /><br />

I saw it too.  Someone else called her on it and her reply was she didn't really know, she was just a mom who never played and couldn't get any answers about TD when she asked.  So she assumed that when GenCon went to Europe and Australia that WoC would take TD there also.  You really need to read the whole thing to see what she has to say.  This is how rumors get started and things get out of hand before you can turn around twice.

I have sent her a note via E-bay.  I wonder who she talked to that couldn't answer her question.  I can only think of about 25 people hanging around the dungeon enterance and registration area that would have known for sure Europe was not happening.

And she's listing it for $250?!<br />I can't see anyone who knows True Dungeon paying $250 for the Scepter of the Dead.  It's a nice item, but not THAT nice.<br /><br />I hope she doesn't sucker some poor soul...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[edit to correct spelling... oops]

<br /><br />I can't actually see anyone using it any time.  The speak with dead scroll is green and doesn't cause you to take damage.

<br /><br />And I seriously doubt there will be any.  It is valued at less than $50 on the token guide.

<br /><br />I can see someone using it in a group with a tough puzzle if they have 3 or more ghosts in the party.  Would allow for a little more discussion, and sometimes it might be worth it to take the 5hp instead of the 4 (or 5) remaining players taking 6hp or more each.

<br /><br />Thats a guideline but yeah, there is no way its worth anywhere near $250.  TOP URs are going for $100-$150 and the Scepter is one of the worst.

Ah, thanks. Ya know I was on that page but completely overlooked the PDF links. <br /><br />It looks like there was some very nice gear from previous years that's been discontinued this year. So sad.  =(
