Harami2000 - my old nemesis :twisted:

, picked up a set of unwrapped Aussie G & D Series in January 2005 for around $180 Australian

, if my memory serves me correctly, sniped me at the last minute (typical modus operandi for the Harami2000). In fact I know he holds multiple copies in unshrinked condition - as our combative history goes way back to the nether years

Though as a consolation I picked up the Australian Jedko version Hall of the Fire Giant King for $5 Australian at one of my local secondhand haunts in excellent condition (blows his own trumpet at the success)

- thats the beauty of being an Australian - access to local markets.
I am not suprised that the majority of these are appearing in Victoria, especially Melbourne. Having grown up there, I remember how large and successful D&D gaming was in the early eighties there.

UK D series are bloody hard to find. The seller got back to me in the last day of the auction to say he wouldn't ship outside the UK.

Would have been nice to get the red dragon, but I had no idea how much to bid on it.

Also - this one just snuck right by me....

** expired/removed eBay auction **

How hard IS it to actually GET all of the H-series modules???

I feel your pain; I just tried to win an H3 by bidding $35.00, but lost out when the winner bid $39.00.

Here's an H4 that ended at $34.99:

The H3 for $39:

H2 for $24:

BClarkies H2 that ended at $20.50:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

There were several other H modules that ended recently in the $25 - $35 range. It wasnt that long ago that all of the modules in the H series were selling in the range of $60 - $80 with H1 still topping out at over $100. You guys should be happy that these have started bottoming out and you arent having to shell out $75 for a beat up H3.

I picked up a BEAUTIFUL copy of H2, that was four times better than described in the auction for only $26+shipping...

However, H3 and H4 keep sneaking by me.

I'm waiting on a trade for H1 to see if it is a possibility....

Thanks for pointing those out. I see there is one right now for $34.99, but it looks pretty whacked ...

Trying to get all of those in excellent condition +

Thanks!

I just got an excellent H2 from Mike's Magical Menagerie. He is Acaeum member Papasloth advertised a non-Ebay sale site in the classifieds here:

viewtopic.php?t=5505

I have made two purchases from him now and all items were in described condition or better and got to me quickly. It is sometimes a joy to buy from non-Ebay sites to avoid the hassles of bidding.
