Exactly Mike.  (Though he really should learn how to grade items, instead of listing them all as "VGC".)

(Not sure how special it is, but I stumbled across it and figured it might be worth a mention.)

I would be really interested to see if this one goes as high as the last one did. I know a few people are sitting on box loads of these.

I only see (presumably) the same seven watchers and no bids, so no one is excited about it.  It may be too obscure for the mainstream D&D collector.

The last one sold a couple of weeks ago for $89.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270273556500 &ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017

But they are niche market, and NKG are selling them for under $10 a shot. That said, they must be down to their last 25 copies. When I bought mine last year they were retailing at $4.99. I would say it's just bad timing on that. If it had cropped up when no-one had seen one in a long while (as Stephen's did) then you'd score big time. If it doesn't sell, sit on it until next year. It'll come good eventually.

Stephen did end up paying a good price for one of his copies.  Before NK got their bundle in, Stephen and I battled it out for two of the Dundracon items on Ebay.  I forget what the final price was but it was up there.

Speaking about this, I recently picked up a copy on NKG and I looked to afterglow site where it is stated
"12pp Loose leaf.
One double sided instruction sheet and 10 sheets of city geomorphs for use with any role playing system."
Or the ones sold by NKG contains only 9pp loose leaf (1 single sided page instruction sheet and 9 city geomorphs). And they looks like not really old... So perhaps the dundracon supplements sold by Aaron are perhaps not true but fake copies...

We discussed this earlier when Aaron first listed the DunDraCon items for sale:

http://www.acaeum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5848

I believe that Aaron's copies are legit.

They are, without a doubt, the crappiest D&D "collectible" ever produced.  I'm still to this day not 100% sure they are legit, but I was assured they were by NKG, so I have to go on that. In any case, I personally wouldn't pay more than $10 for a set for these.  Awful, you won't spend more than 1 minute (time yourself) looking through them and putting them on the shelf to never look at again.
