The Imagine binders are the same. In fact the blue Imagine binder and the blue White Dwarf binder are almost identical. As these were UK only, I imagine they were made by the same company.


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

THis set is up again:



http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Original-White-Bo ... dZViewItem



$500.00 opening bid again though.  :? As noted the last time this auction was up that is a very nice looking 5th print set and a pretty decent OCE set as well as all supplemtns including both a Lizard logo Chainmail and a GK Chainmal.  Starting bid is high but may be worth tossing a minimum bid in there.



<edit> There is also a nice looking "War of the Ring" in there too.

Hey Mike,

the insanity is not going to end until I get what I'm looking for.
If you have a good condition 1st ed Boot Hill, you should sell it to me
for $150, then pick one up for yourself when they're going for
$60.  You'll make a killing.  Should be able to pick yourself up a nice
set of DragonLance modules with the difference.

Just doing the math quickly, but 5th Print Set by itsellf in that condition would go for say $150. The OCE set ~$80, each supplement other than the GK Chain Mail would go for about $20 each for a total of $140.  GK Chainmail ~$60. War of the Ring IIRC goes usually for at least $50. 8 Hardcovers at $3 each for a total of $24. Best of Dragons $2 each for a total of $14 and the Outdoor Survival set $5.  The 2 RQ sets, I know nothing about so I will not include them, but when you look at the total of the items I did include you get a total of $523 w/o the 2 RQ sets. As a 1 shot bid it might be worth it.  Granted the shipping is pretty absurd, but I suppose that you could talk him down from that, but even still IMHO paying $540 for everything would not too over the top. :)

Sorry, I must have missed something somewhere. I just thought maybe it was an Alpha/Omega 3rd print +-%?! or something.

No thanks to the OCE, but if anyone has a 5th print in that condition at that price, please give me a holler! :P

*nods*. "At least"...

Seller (again) does themselves no favors by not splitting up the lot and letting everything find its level. Am surprised no-one "did a deal" with them after it failed to sell last time.

Reading the description he/she also mentions a Dragon Magazine Archive I believe.  Either that or he is selling a copy of that. :?

Isn't that against the unwritten rules of the forum--> No drinking and posting. :wink:   Oh yeah, and definitely no drinking and bidding or you will end up with all kinds of crazy sh*t that you don't really want.  :lol:

Well, if you are going to be driving drunk, you will at least know which direction that you are going. :wink:

Yep, 5ths have been exploding in value, with no signs of letting up.  $150 for that condition would be a bargain.  It seems they are trying to stay about 120-150% higher than OCEs.  5ths in the UK do better than in the US, for some reason I can't explain.  :?
