Holy krap! No one would really pay that, would they? I know nothing about online character peddling, but has anyone ever paid anything close to that for a similar type of auction to anyone's knowledge?

All the time. That's $1k with RNM though, so not sure what this guy's expecting. The most I've personally payed, iirc, was $1200 for an account in Ultima Online. That was for resale though, and splitting up the stuff it had on it, I think I ended up making about $1500 profit. Not really possible to make that kind of money in MMOs anymore though, the market is too saturated and sweatshop-cafes in Asia have pretty much cornered the market by virtue of sheer volume.



I've never even heard of the game that the character is from, so it seems unlikely to me that he'll have any bites (that kind of cash typically requires a pretty large selling base to support, but I certainly could be wrong). Stranger things have happened.

And is it just me, or do all the outright scammers choose Israel as their location?

Wait!  I think I just got a BIN offer from your friend!  

Imo, it's no more goofy than paying $1k+ for a book that will sit in a collection

yeah i agree - when you get past that, the fun goes out of the game(s) for me

I think I will have to take a pass.  :wink:  Seriously, I love video games and online games are cool as sh*t, but anyone who spends $1k on an online character is a freakin idiot.

Obviously to each his own but I can guarantee in 25 years when I try to sell my $1000 book someone will be much more likely to buy it for $1000 than a character from a 25 year old online game, if even still exists.

I do not have the monetary power to go after this stash, but someone else might:



Dungeons and Dragons Epic Original Set | eBay



    Is it possible that one or two of the items in this lot might be valuable or rare?    

GraysonAC wrote:Doubt that's worth $450 (unless those miniatures are -really- valuable), but those are some nice-condition books for sure.

The Heritage Dungeon Dwellers box sets can go for $50 each so it's actually a pretty decent haul.  I wish he had broken up those minis boxes into individual lots because I still need one of them...  :(

Well Stormber you almost doubled the gen con price .... hmm

I still stand by my decision to knock off the $450 BIN, asap.



Paul's flush for cash just now, anyhow...

Quick, somebody update the Acaeum Estimated Value, 'cause it just got skewed.
