Or if you have problems with that link, here's the item # 8709466424


Included in the auction was a white box D&D set with the splat on it (6th printing?) ... along with what appears to be a mint Holmes Basic Set ... but the true gem of it (for me at least) was the mint or near mint Grenadier boxed set: Dungeon Explorers, that still had the original paper cover sheet with it! I love the old minis! Thats my #1 collection favorite.


Anyways, just looking for some feedback on it. How far off the sale price was from the collector value price, etc. Thanks.

Close to it. Yes

I had to beat a high amount snipe 30 seconds to go. It was pure luck that my counter bid was higher than the snipe bid ... because there was no time left for a follow up.

I was dead set on getting those miniatures

With the market the way it is now, you should get a great price for the white box set if you choose to re-list it on ebay to help offset your cost.  I feel like any purchase that adds to my collection without causing me financial strain is a good buy.

Let me take a look at them when they arrive. You can reach me at

I admit though, I'm an avid AD&D'er but I own no copies of the white box original set, I was intrigued by finally getting a copy of it ... but yes 75% of it for me was the Grenadier miniatures

No way, dude, I got dibs. If I weren't stuck in Greece with a lag time from hell, I would currently be selling him the worthless-to-me minis and pawing through my new OCE box set...  :(

And if you want to know what the value of the items are, once you get 'em, put 'em back on e-bay.

If it weren't for you he would have got it for $60 or so as I was not going to go crazy after watching him do all the bidding. When it comes time to sell remmber who cost you all the extra cash  :twisted:

Pretty close to mine as well, had a 80.50 snipe in hoping for a steal, but figuring on it to go for about what it did.
