This sounds like a nice problem to have. I must typically make mine too difficult; never really been in danger of this.

Most my games involve supers like The Question.
I expect investigators to know what they're looking for before it even happens.
I like games where characters make up the mystery as they discover it. (there is no solution outside what players want, find, create)

It's not you...it's them. Seems like this is happening more this time around. I had the same thing where I saw a game but wanted to think about it...came back 5 minutes later to place a bid and it was gone.

I feel like I'm going crazy. Last night I saw a copy of Apiary with the expansion posted for $35. I said I would take it. Then a few minutes later it vanished from the list. I felt like I assume the seller deleted it? I thought we weren't supposed to delete items, or is that allowed now?

Or find other ways to act on the knowledge that will not get the characters in trouble, after all, the villains of these pieces are often people with power. Even if you have the proof, if it worth the immediate danger to see it through? Is there another way to get justice? Getting Tony "the Shark" jailed for murder may be satisfying, but he will not forget who put him there and neither will his organization.

If they do, good for them. But they still have to be able to prove it in a court of law / justice / whatever, so their still have to put the work in collecting evidence and testimony, getting their case iron tight. This is its own sort of problem in the Legend of the Five Rings setting where testimony is weighed more heavily than "evidence" and word of people of higher social standing counts more. So even if you know, with complete certainty, that someone committed a crime, sometimes the best that you can do is force them to sacrifice some resources to shift the blame elsewhere.Or find other ways to act on the knowledge that will not get the characters in trouble, after all, the villains of these pieces are often people with power.

I just tried subscribing to a couple of games and when I click on my profile and then on subscriptions, I only see the items I subscribed to in the VFM. The games are not in my wish list either. Where can I find the list of games I subscribe to?
They are under "Items" in the Subscriptions page (under the Subscriptions submenu).
Oh, got it! Thanks everyone for the tips! 🙂
I subscribed to games I’m interested in and when they show up in the VFM I don’t receive a notification for them. I only receive notifications when there’s something new on the page about the game (like a comment in a discussion thread, a picture or video added, someone listing the game there for sale, etc.). There’s apparently no connection between a game’s page and its listing in the VFM.
If you click on Subscribe on the page for the game it will not notify you of VFM additions by default, but once subscribed, the little down-arrow next to subscribe allows you to edit your subscription and you can select other places to be notified of, including geeklists. If you do this, it will notify you when the game is added to the VFM.
