Maze of Peril by J. Eric Holmes:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

No bids, $0.99 starting bid + $5 shipping, ~1 day, 14 hr left.

Don't bid too much, though, because you can still get it new from here for $6.65 + $1.50 (US)/ $2 elsewhere:

Another Woodgrain Set:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

This one is a second print with 4 supps. Its rough looking though and IMO, the starting bid is OTT, but in case someone might be interested.

The "winner" obviously wished to remain anonymous.

(Maybe they saw the $305 for the OCE + supps and carried out a contingent tangential multivariate extrapolation of relative worth in the year 2020.
Took their time to hit the BIN, anyhow ^^).

Interestingly enough, the "buyer" of that 4th print set is now "No Longer A Registered User with EBay".

http://cgi.ebay.it/LOT-OF-VINTAGE-TSR-D ... dZViewItem

why should i buy 3 tons of paper just to have the only 2 books worth in it??? (don't even ask anymore if it possible to split the lot... it's useless...)

ok, but then there is the usual problem tied to the "lot logic": you think that X persons could be interested in the whole lot, but on the other side you might have Y persons that would bid on a single item of the lot...

my feeling is that dealing with Y potential ebuyers is much more profitable and remunerative than a lesser number (because of course Y>X!)

(you could add that an other drawback is that it's difficult to sell non interesting items... but i'd prefer this rather than X buyers!)

it could also be that the seller just wants rid of them and its easier to sell them all in one go, instead of individually

i think there could be just as many interested in the one lot as there would be in just one item.

Basic Rules softcover. 3 days.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Another OCE with all supplements. 4 days left and no bids yet.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-D-D-Collec ... dZViewItem

Box and original contents look pretty damn good. Really nasty looking GD&H though. The Greyhawk has someone's name on the cover.

iirc there were 2-3 printings; it had its fans. However, I have found no differences at all between the printings, so the point is mooooooooot (as we say up here in the Dairy State).

I'm also quite sure that it was shrinkwrapped when new; I have one in that condition.

Check out the last picture. The box is out of the bubblewrap and looks to be in very good condition.

U.S. only, again...

Out of interest, does anyone here bother to check with sellers first, anymore?
