Yeah, I've got that auction bookmarked already thanks!
It's a sensible b-i-n price but what concerns me are the postal charges ... £3.01 for standard rate, which will basically be a 1st class stamp costing 30p!
A bit excessive I thought ...
I've emailed the seller querying this amount and how much they charge for combining multiple items and I'll be very interested to know their response.

9 hours later .....

Well, I got a reply and I'm not sure the seller has answered my question or not!
This is what I asked:~
Could you tell me how much it would cost for multiple items to be sent together please? Also, is the amount of £3.01 you've quoted on your listing for Standard postage rate correct? I'd be really grateful if you could let me know please. Thanks very much.


And this is the reply I got:~
hi
 
the buckbeak stt's are all £4 each
 
if you want more than 10 then i will let you have them for £3.50 each
 
regards

I thought I'd phrased the query rather well, but it appears they have just focussed on what they think the've read rather than what is actually there!

It costs £3 for the annual subscription to the Top Trumps website which in turn means you're eligible to receive the Super Top Trumps free of charge from them (I think they release six a year) ... so although it's a good b-i-n price, the seller is clawing his money back by over-charging on the postage!

Roz,

Did you get the Buckbeak special card as well. Mine came today and so did my normal pack. I ordered the pack on line last week and am pretty impressed with the service.

Aha so it was a nice morning for us all - the postman knocked and woo hoo there it was. I sent separately for buckbeak of course but like you they came the same day.

 

Jules - you know that during the course of the year there will be others you want - probably a Goblet of Fire and probably another Star Wars one, just sign your son up for their site and send off for another. Total cost £3.50 for the first promo STT card but around 50p each for the next few!

[Roz]

Eek - top trumps are now out of stock for this item   I wonder when they will appear in the shops?

[Nienna]

Crickey ... sold out already!!
I'm glad I got the ones I did!
My guess is it will take a few weeks to get them back into stock ...

Good point Roz and I know I'll give in eventually as I want a Buckbeak and a certain somebody not a million miles away will want one too!

[mcgonagall]

then i had better bid more on your auction roz

[Roz]

Not at all McG, I will get you a pack at the earliest opportunity. I could send you mine but I opened them to take the scans, so you would probably prefer a sealed set. They should be in the shops in a week or two so don't panic I will keep an eye on the site and order more when they are taking orders and I will get you some. I'll try shipping them straight through to you but that may not work so obviously I'll get them to me and post them on
