With the prices still tumbling. I'm a bit weird I guess, I hate seeing the prices come down, kind of makes a thing less desirable. Silly I know because it's content that counts but it's a perception thing I suppose.

In any product rush...some of them caused by mention on the Acaeum...I don't aim to buy the first one.  I aim to buy the fourth or fifth copy.   Once the high spenders have driven up the price, often the third, fourth or fifth sellers discover that the gold rush is over and the price drops precipitously. aia Verbose Collector Joined: 23 Nov 2005 Last Visit: 17 Nov 2008 Posts: 1210 Location: Italy Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 12:22 am http://cgi.ebay.com/Role-Playing-Mastery-signed-by-author-Gary-Gygax_W 0QQitemZ220253338042 Aneoth Verbose Collector Joined: 11 Oct 2004 Last Visit: 21 Nov 2008 Posts: 1432 Location: Texas Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 8:13 am     aia wrote: http://cgi.ebay.com/Role-Playing-Mastery-signed-by-author-Gary-Gygax_W 0QQitemZ220253338042   lol, I have seen those in the HPB store for a couple of bucks and passed them by with barely a glance. EGG's autograph does (IMO) give more value, but that BIN?! Not by 150 times, and 33 bucks (roughly 150 times lower than the BIN) still seems a little on the high side IMO.

The current bid price of $5.98 is fair.

I noticed that reserve after posting. The reserve is stupid so the super high Bin is no doubt stupid as well rather than crafty. otherworld Prolific Collector Joined: 15 Apr 2003 Last Visit: 21 Nov 2008 Posts: 207 Location: Cambridge, UK Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:56 am http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=420538 5 Wow, $18,000 for a knackered old d20!  I'd better check my dice box......
