DAMN IT!! I can't even win one for $40....

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

A fwew years ago I got an offer of $800.00 for my H series set (all mint mind you). So prices have really come down

For $800, I think I would have settled for going without.

But good money, I suppose, if you can get it!

Yes it is a nice price. Had it on my watch list, but totally forgot about it. Nice win for someone.

I tossed an opening bid on it myself so as to attempt to prevent another Ebay disappearing act and forgot completely about it myself.

That sellers 1st print EW went for a song as well:

The 1st print Blackmoor they had up did quite well in contrast:

What makes it really strange it that, its not even like any of them were mislisted or even poorly described. Nice fairly clear pictures all listed in the D&D category. Go figure.

Yeah, I'm really surprised to see those prices, considering what a2jeff recently sold his for.

which was still much nicer copy? say you will be happy not want to upgrade later??

all firsts in latest auctions have aging and minor damage. $32 not bad for eldritch wizardry but blackmoor @$124 in similar = too much

in the print junkie scheme at first it's just about covering the bases but in the long haul it's all about condition.

IMHO a near mint is worth 5x an excellent one

when i was last over in london i crashed at red_bus's pad and saw his first print woodgrain ... it was near mint & worth every penny. I was well impressed

easy resell on $32 eldritch wizardry for sure so no loss

- IMHO a near mint is worth 5x an excellent one

personal not valuation board opinion good!! hopefully an excellent first woodgrain will sell over $800

yep nice set there

Nice pickup Grodog.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I had that in my watch list and was going to buy it if I got outbid on an auction I was bidding on. I did get outbid but alas...I waited too long. :cry:
