Maybe for first printings, but there's no indication they're firsts, is there?

The DMG is a first and the PHB is a 2nd. Regardless, they are both, ummm....well...silly.

Niiiice looking dice.

Good looking packs tend to go higher.

I had (low) bids in on a lot of the items that that seller had listed, and a fair number of them went for far more than I expected.

Either that, or I got very lucky when I picked up my campaign setting box for around $30 instead of $50. :roll:

O.K. I don't get it. I need some education. Why do so many Planescape books/materials go for so high? What combination of quality and quantity or whatever make these go higher than similar-sized AD&D materials? Or am I just imagining that these go for more? :?:

I realize I am asking for opinions, and those are welcome.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

Great lot of 16 Forgotten Realms products at a TRUE auction price of $0.99, but it might be cheaper to buy a plane ticket PDT_Armataz_01_23

with Jet Blue PDT_Armataz_01_06

than to get these shipped:

That's like saying $20 for shipping plus a $100 handling fee. :roll:

Someone probably gave eBay a nudge and mentioned that they were missing on out final value fees because of that. :lol:

The listing is still working fine for me, although the link quoted in napoleonsdad's message is not correct.

Here's the listing:

I reported him again for "circumventing fees" with excessive shipping.

I e-mailed him about it as well. It's changed now.

Well, OK....he lopped almost $99 off of his shipping price..

Now he has it down to $27.11!
