Well so far everything seems to have gotten a pretty good start.

The Orange B3 didn't waste anytime that for sure, already $255.00.

Still considering that serious run though.............

Well guys, this sniper is all out of cash :( , so I won't be bugging you's too much on this one.

I had to think hard about the MM, PHB and DMG combo though. Might still try for that one. As regards the rest; good luck to everyone. Looks like it could get exciting.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

RATS!!

Actually I am planning on making a pretty strong push on those as well. I can honsetly say they be the nicest looking hardcovers I have ever seen for sale on Ebay. I'll bet they never touched a store shelf.

Yes, VERY painful indeed............

They're probably safer with you. I thought I'd find out what printing they were... :lol: :lol:

This is going to be a fun auction to watch. I've got my eye on several items, hopefully not the expensive ones!

Orange B3 is already at $355. yoink!

Well *I* certainly don't! Y'all are high-rollers compared to me. I'm keeping my eye on the Gamma World and Star Frontiers SW boxes. Also the B1 Mono.

Question: what do you guys think that World of Greyhawk folio will eventually go for? I'm watching that too, but I think it'll get out of my range.

Are there significant differences in the World of Greyhawk folios? I notice you can get one with the words in black and one in blue? Apart from that, is there any difference?

Yeah, it would appear that they are the same.

Heh, heh. Kinda glad Tim didn't accept my offer on his "1st" PHB.

Does anyone recognise the handles of those two eBayers who are pushing the price up so early? (<diaglo>, <hellsreach>)

Think I am going to get beat out on just about everything I have bid on, still winning on the proof copy (probally not for long, but hey I can dream).

Hoping to get the Gangbusters box, think that was the third game I ever played (after DnD and TS/SI), of course I accidentily bid higher on the folio, didn't pay attention, was thinking I was bidding again on the 1980 Gamma World, oh well.
