Hi,

actually, putting 2 and 2 together, I would bet money thats its Southsea Models, as currently mentioned in the Random Thoughts or OT Chit-Chat Thread

Southsea is very close to Portsmouth.

Cheers,
Malc


Reckon Malcolm has pinned it down - As the first name of the Southsea Models guy is Marshall, it seems like a good bet.

This quote from WD 82 (as stated in the auction)

   
Quote:
And if you are going to Games Day, you'll have a chance to pick up a copy of ST1 Up the Garden Path, that I mentioned in passing last issue. This is a shortish(16 pages - but what a lot of words!)D&D/AD&D adventure that comes at a bargain price of £2.50. Its also one for completists, as TSR UK have made it a very limited edition. ST1 is an (admittedly excellent) adventure so wildly improbable and strange that all I am going to say about it is that the characters arrive in a pocket-oniverse aboard a salamander-powered steam train run by a bunch of gnomes... You can find the rest out for yourselves, but this stuff is the antidote for all that usually serious stuff from TSR UK


(WD 81 says this)

   
Quote:
If you can get hold of a copy, TSR Uk's other major, no really, it is - contribution to gaming in 1986 is ST1 'Up the Garden Path', a fairly strange little adventure based in and around Stoke Garden Festival


If this very limited release was telegraphed so early you would have thought that they would all have been sold on the day. Anecdotal (ie I read it somewhere I can't remember!) evidence says that this was not the case. I wonder just how many of these there are floating around?

(Anyone know if TSR UK were allowing people to buy multiple copies, or was it 1 per customer?)

Fazzle (from T&T).

Opening bid isn't entirely insane, if you can get it for that.

"Insurance is recommended, as this item may burst into flame during shipment. "

Is this a threat???  I like how it's vague about WHEN it may burst into flame.  I'm considering calling the FBI...

Did OCE's come shrinkwrapped?  I would assume so and the yellowing under the torn spot is comforting, but would the original wrap hold up this well this long?  Definately, interesting listing in my book!

I sold one on eBay personally not quite a year ago, and the final value was in the $450 range if memory serves. It also had no rips in the shrink and was as close to mint as I think a set would come. Him asking $599 is a pipe dream IMHO, especially with a tear in the shrink, but, I suppose we can see what shakes loose. Personally I don't think it will sell.
