$610 new record? honestly two of the museum investors and I takled for about an hour about how much to pay for the module. What we decided was to obbiously to go for it. To tell you the truth we didn't think we where going to win it. And as far as that evil word "sniping" on e-bay lets be honest any highly collectable item has this happen. All the bidding takes place in the last few seconds. We've tride to place fair to high bids and let them stand, and we've always been out bid. I'm willing to bet that if I would have placed a $610 bid even one minute before close it would have gone for $612 or more. Someone did bid $600. Lets face it E-bay is a sellers market, and I don't like paying more than what it's worth. But hard to come by is hard to come by. As far as the POTVQ this was a must for the museum, and we've always wanted the black folder. It's like getting a first and second print togeather, and it has a mysterious look to it, great for the museum. As far as being incomplete I'll let you know. I have a call into Tadashie. He may be the original buyer. The two Dungeoneers #2 and #3 I recived from him where addressed to him 1976 post marks. He may know excatlly when/where he purchased it. It could shead some light on the first/second print mystery.

More to come,
Mike

Good luck with the ST1 Harami

I wasen't impling anything, I saw you where the high bidder on St1 part 2 (has two ever come out at the same time? and do you think this will effect bidding) The second one looks nicer. Again no impling anything just wishing a fellow collector luck.

$610 is by far the most I've seen a black folder go for. Mine was $281, and I thought that was steep at the time.
Here's a thought: How much will Malcolm be in the hole when he outbids everyone for the 2 ST1's in his attempt to control the market? Will the price of St1's go over $2,000 for thrashed copies? Stay tuned!

Mike, don't ask Frank about his tourney Inverness, whatever you do!

*g*

Depends if they've all got reserves set at $2,001...

Must be a first level 3E character.

I'm sure people will think of something to say very soon, maybe I'll pen a line or two in the mean time.  

Hey Frank....

I am impressed ... you bid against a zero bidder.  (you almost had it too!) I seem to remember you suggesting you wouldn't bid?

Question ... I would have thought you had an ST1 by now?

Oh, and had I actually won over the 0 bidder, I'd have gotten his contact info. If he was a fraud, I would have told the seller to keep his module. He was warned about the 0 bidder and did nothing to block him. It's either a secondary account for an Acaeum member or a fraud. No one comes in to eBay and bids ONLY on ST1's and PoVQ like that. Well, maybe invincible.

Frank,

I hope you get a good trade for your C2, and as you've already stated you'd happily trade it for something you subsequently describe as a birdcage liner I'm sure you'll get lots of interesting offers.

Cheers,

Malcolm.
