How difficult can that be to find? (sorry, fluffs)

Their "accessories are in excellent condition with only minor wear" quote is totally untrue in this case, alas. (Worth having, perhaps, but I'd recommend their pics first- all four megs worth of them!)

Aaaagh! Sees auction counter steadily rising.

No, he's not. Please move along...

Too late.

Damn it and I actually saw that auction and never saw them.

Hrrr... well, OK; just in case some sucker goes and lobs in a $100 bid without asking for pics...

And I repeat "accessories are in excellent condition with only minor wear"!

All except one thing; one small, seemingly insignificant item which has never crossed my path, not in a reseller's store, not on e-bay, nowhere -- TSR9518 Treasure Tales.

I'm REALLY afraid to say this: I have one

(I can virtually guarantee we will see a few copies on ebay within 1 months time).

Can you read my mind Paul? I'm having one up for auction in about.....20 hours

Hey, they were in excellent condition until you asked for the extra pictures of them. All that extra work you put the seller made him hungry!

Back to your regularly schedule Treasure Tales thread.

I forget if we like or hate this seller, but I remember him being mentioned somewhere. :oops:

In any case, it sounds like he reads the forums...he's got a Treasure Tales up. I'd ask for a pic.

We like him very much!!
The treasure tales came in a FR box I got recently - it and a couple of mods were in the photo but not in the listing - I paid too much but I considered it a risk worth taking, just in case the extras were anything special.
Anyway I'll try and sort a photo, but it is in excellent nick

Hehehe...I've got to make a spreadsheet to keep all your names straight, sorry. :lol: I'll add you to my favorite sellers list, that'll help.

Thanks to everyone who responded on this thread.

It's a karma thing -- I'm looking for this item diligently every day for 3 months, and one is posted on e-bay about 4 hours after I start this thread. :roll:

.... and all of a sudden you're bidding against the whole board to get your hands on it.

:lol:

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

Well, if worse comes to worse, there's the 144 dollar copy on amazon.com or I can just fork over the 30 euro shipping fee for the copy in Germany

Anyone know what this looks like? I can't seem to find a picture on any of the usual websites.

Well, this little item certainly seems to have attracted a lot of interest. Here it is: (mind you, it's just the cover)

Treasure tales is an excellent suppliment, I just pulled mine out the other day and am going to use it in my ongoing campaign.
