The E'A chronicles is being shilled. I have been corresponding with the seller.
-----------------
Interesting, considering I'm the seller... only 3 people outside of the current bidder have been "corresponding" with me on this listing. I have provided each with my phone number, yet none have the stones to give me a call...

Do some research Deadlord36 please before you throw out such accusations. I invite you to provide publically whatever you have to back up your assertion, and I invite anyone else to look at any and all of my current and past listings.

The page cannot be found

So, $68.75 to the UK if they are prepared to ship surface (+ handling fees

Hmm... Was told shipping options were as listed; viz. "Global Express Guaranteed or Global Express".
via Global Express Guaranteed® Document Service, 32 lbs = $165.00.

Are you feeling lucky, John?

Amen. I probably wouldn't have won. But at least one of us would probably have helped push their price/profit higher.

Cougar is not on his way. I won the lot.

"Anyone want to take a chance on this lot? $51 with 5 hours to go. Early MM, PHB, and a true first DMG in there, along with an early, possibly 1st print WoG."

I guess it helped me that the seller has outrages shipping cost for you boys overseas. It cost me $23.

I was worried Cougar would show up but he was no where to be found. I sweated this auction from the start. Its been a long week.

What do you all think of what I payed for it ($142) Good Deal, okay deal, not so good deal. I would like to know what you think.

Not bad at about $4.00 an item. Hopefully you filled some gaps in your collection. Some of those Dragon mags have some decent adventures. Got the collecting bug pretty bad right now huh?

Yes I filled some gaps. In fact, the only duplicate item I already had was a True 1st DMG and the Vault of the Drow module. Everything else is new to my collection.

I just started a new job. So my collecting bug has been reenergized with new money, if you know what I mean.

Congrats on you win. But one question, what is the map that is laying in front of the PHB & DMG? I've never seen it before.

To be honest with you. I too, have never seen that map. Look forward to actually getting the lot to check it out.

I would imagine that its the "Search for the Emperor's Treasure Map" in the item description.
