City of Heroes Items Auction
« on: July 13, 2014, 07:23:54 PM »
Ok, I decided to try selling a few of my City of Heroes items on eBay, but because I've not tried that before I decided to start small and list a couple of items to get used to the process.

I've put up for sale one of the City of Heroes / Villains Art Books and one of the Desdemona Mouse Pads that I have.  You can find the auctions here:

Art Book:

Thanks!

Just be aware that the mousepad is more of a mousepad sticker (at least mine was.) it has a peelable back and you afix it to the desk. Would have been nicer as an actual pad.

You could make your own with a high quality scan and one of those mousepads that you slip a photo into.

Not knocking it, just wasn't what I expected.

It's like a foot by a little over six inches. I don't have a measuring tape nearby. o.o;

I don't have the Desdemona one, but I do have a razer sphex mat. They're nice. I like that I can mouse pretty much anywhere I want on the right side of my desk lol.

...the back peels off?

*pick pick pick*

Hmm. Mine doesn't, and the back is textured towards making it stay put.

And pick up a large load of crud judging from the look of it. Ick.

Mine did. It had the demon summoning woman whose name escapes me.

I checked into shipping to Canada and Sweden. 

Shipping to Canada is about $15 and shipping to Sweden is about $19.

If you are still interested in either item, I will have more of them for sale over the next several weeks.

Also, if people would like, I can include a personal thank you to you (or your character). 

I used to work at Paragon Studios and worked on City of Heroes for over 8 years.  I used to post on the forums as The Dark Watcher, hence my avatar.  My entry in ParagonWiki: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Dark_Watcher_%28Developer%29

Last 24 hrs for this set of items! 

Once I've shipped these off, I'll put up a larger set for the next auctions.  Of course, I'll post here to let everyone know where to find them.

Thanks everyone!

As much as I want that mousepad, i'd rather not explain to any friends I have over that it's not what it looks like.

I've posted a few more of my items for sale on EBay.

For those of you who are out of the USA, EBay has recently started a world wide shipping program to help handle international orders.  It's supposed to make shipping and customs simpler and I'm willing to give it a try if the buyer of the items wants to try it.

Also,  I included a note to the winners of my last auctions thanking them and will do that for these auctions as well.  The person who bought the mouse pad seemed happy (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2205011305/permalink/10152556462561306/) and it made me very glad to see how great of a community there still is for City!

I wish I could be surprised that the AT pins are already as high as they are, since I for one didn't even know they existed.

But I'm not surprised.  Not really.  I'll be curious to see just how high they go. :)
