Over a dollar?! Clearly this is one seller who's willing to splurge on packaging! :roll:

Two bidders only, both with low feedback, and plenty of other B2s out there ... looks shill-a-licious to me.

AD&D B2 Keep on the Borderlands module., first edition circa 1980. Hard to find.

If Keep is "hard to find", I'd hate to think of what that makes something like ST1. :lol:

Yeah, I put in a low bid on that one and have had to pick my jaw up from the floor just about every time I log into eBay and see what new heights it's hit.

Yikes.

Dont these UK books usually go for a tidy sum? I dont bother to look for these so I dont know how much they usually fetch.

The only thing surprising to me is how quickly it has gotten to that point. The few of these that I have seen(including the one I sold about a month ago) were not anywhere near as nice as that one were always in the $125+ range. The one I just sold privately went for $200(and as I noted was actaully pretty nice, but nowhere as nice as that one that is up right now), so ~$230 doesn't seem too crazy to me just yet. Lets see where it ends.
