-----------------------------------------
my auction rules
-----------------------------------------
1) Bidding and prices are in US dollars (increments in
   full dollars, no fractions please).
2) Payment may be made over PayPal, or otherwise with 
   a cheque in German currency and drawable on a german 
   bank. Cash at buyers risk (As cash, I will accept US$ too).
   After I have received the payment, I will ship the parcel.
3) Buyer pays postage by a shipping method of his choice.
   Shipping costs overseas (my overseas) start at about $13 for
   a small packet, that allows a max. weight of 2kg and
   offers no insurance, therefore buyer takes risk of loss
   or damage. Takes 4 to 8 weeks to deliver. Economy parcels
   are faster, offer insurance and more weight. They are
   starting at about $31 for up to 5kg, with the final price 
   depending on weight (5, 10, or 20kg possible).
   Parcels within Germany or Europe are much cheaper.
4) I reserve the right to add games and remove ones without
   a bid.
5) I use the GOING, GOINGx2, GONE method which advances each
   update without a new bid. Updates will be posted 2 or 3
   times a week.
6) The bidders will be published (no complete email-addresses/
   I accept nicknames) When similar bids occur the first bidder will
   hold the highest bid.
7) I have a digital camera and can provide pictures of the games, which
   I will upload to http://www.tobihh.de/Bilder/index.html on demand
   Otherwise I will answer all questions you may have
   about the games and/or their condition. Just ask.
8) Send all bids, comments and questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
9) Don't blame me for my english :-)

There are two major sources if you are looking for english reviews
and rules for german games and I will refer to them in the
descriptions of the games:
The Game Cabinet at http://www.gamecabinet.com
and Boardgamegeek at http://www.boardgamegeek.com
