Well the BIN is completely nuts.  But that is one sweet looking Dragon #1.  Not to mention the mailer, Tim Kask's signature, and the other odds and ends.  I wouldnt be surprised if someone met the reserve.  Crazier things have happened.  Wink

I think it will sell too kingofpain.
Though I would be slightly surprised if it went for the BIN price.
As the seller stated; a worn out Dragon #1 recently sold for $400.....

Like you said, this one is Mint and has all the other stuff too.
All in all I do not think that this one should be in the silliest prices thread.
Too high for me of course, but there are plenty of rich fellas out there who are likely salivating while they count out enough platinum, electrum, and gold pieces as I write this post.

I think it WILL go for the BIN price in the end, and maybe a bit more. We're seeing a lot of sheer folly these days, and this is beyond the best one could think of for a Dragon #1. This is a very well-set bait for rich goons.

I disagree: that is not "minty mint" or "mint mint"

THIS is minty mint:

this is not the ordinary LG gaz (which is this one: http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/3e/living.htm)

this is a limited edition distributed to "dont-ask-me-what-con" (which is this one: http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/3e/gazlim.htm)

I agree...this is hard to find, mostly because it can confound searches...you actually have to see a picture to realize what it is.

There are a number that float by being sold as just the Gazetteer.  Although much rarer than the mass produced copy, this isn't all that tough to find.  This is the 6th copy that I have seen on Ebay so far this year.
