Nice win on those Adventurer's Guild modules too Al! They stayed a lot cheaper than I thought they would. You too Netrodent!

That is an interesting auction. I wonder what it is worth. With 19 hours to go it is only Pounds5.50. It has a module by Michael Moorcock.

Most did go rather cheaply which is the only reason I ended up with any.

Emissaries went for $111.50 which seems a bit ridiculous to me. Any ideas as to why it went for so much?

I'll throw up my Lair in about a month or so.

All the Lair's coming out now and I just picked one up a couple weeks ago.

One of the rarest CoC supplement, a french product, "les Années Folles". It is not because I am french but thi boxed set is fantastic, really.

France only but if someone is not allowed by the seller to bid I can bid for him and send the game after.

I second Loki... Un vrai petit bijou...
This time, the value of a product is connected to its high quality, and not (only) its rarity. What was France and especially Paris in the 20'? This is a very impressive social and historical research. The first Lonely Planet Guidebook!
Well, but only if you want to improve your french...

I'll third that opinion. When I was prez at Chaosium we had a problem with translating and publishing this because it was so dense and fabulously detailed that we couldn't figure out:
1. Who in the US would want such detail; and
2. How to edit it down to what people might want!

Possible 1st print Arms Law in this lot (worth checking out and maybe get a pic sent out).

So is Wayne's World of Books represented here. He just made a nice last second snipe on a lot of 10 RQ items:

In a great irony, I had considered buying some RQ stuff off Wayne - his prices seem quite reasonable.

This lot is in Australia. Now it will be shipped to the US and I if I buy it off Wayne, it will need to be shipped back again. I bid about $50 under what I thought these items were worth individually (based on research on Amazon and ABE).

Nice snipe Wayne. I should have bid higher!

As far as I know, I don't think Wayne is here. But your statement about price research on Amazon and ABE scares me. Usually I think of these places as mostly being severly overpriced compared with the Ebay market value.

They are. It's basically a trolling venue, looking for noobs.

Yeah, no kidding! Somewheres in the $250.00 neighborhood for "Booty & The Beasts..." Or is it really worth that much?
