they certainly though this module isn't in a set but a original one, released separetly. And the seller description let them think this too.

This is just plain getting crazy.  

IIRC that's about the same as Al paid a year or two back.

If the price of the whole box goes up you'd expected L3 to increase, too, since that's the key item.
There has, however, been a lag, so maybe it's just taking time to "catch up", especially with regards to the high-end prices realised. And ~$75 for a single item is serious money, so maybe that's to be expected.

The old "silliest price" thread makes for interesting reading and L3 had frequent-visitor status there, as you'll recall.

lol yeah yeah yeah here we go again



actually, that was more than i paid, but not that much more. that was one of my moments of madness....sheesh we all have them i just wanted it to complete a set anyway - which i did sell and make money on in the end, so alls well and ends well with that tale      



it IS very odd nowadays tho that someone will pay that for an L3 as the box set shows up quite often now.

For this kind of money, you may want to go into a bit more detail...or even a few more photos would help...damn, for that price these things better come alive and do the housework, mow the lawn, watch the kids, take the wife to dinner...etc.

If they only had two at that I price I would be tempted. See I want one to look at and enjoy and one to save as an investment.

And here I was thinking the under bidder was bidding way too much.

I have seen a trend in this kind of behavior lately. Mid-sized lots going for way too much money. It almost seems that there has been a spike in new buyers. Possible more collectors coming into the market - can't be sure. But for whatever reason, module lots have been selling at higher than normal levels.



Agreed though, this one is even higher than the already elevated levels.

I generally agree — and I don't want to drag this thread over the moon or anything — but I'm always leery of blanket statements when it comes to collectibles.

There's plenty of current Burger King employees who can remember betting heavily on baseball cards and comics in the '90s, back when they owned stores.

Plus, there's the future (or lack thereof) of the economy, and blah, blah, yada, yada, etc., etc. You just never can tell ... although, as stated, I suspect you're right.

As if there aren't speculators in the world of "collecting." We've got at least 10 using these forums alone ... I can't remember how many times I've heard "item X is bound to go up in value; I'm hanging on to my five copies."

And I'm not saying that makes anyone a bad person or less of a "collector." My point, again, is that there are no guarantees. Just because we collect this sh*t doesn't mean it's bound to go up in value. I suspect much of it will, but the world is full of variables ...

Yes, how did that D&D speculating work out for Creepy?   RPG collecting is a very interesting niche. At some point I think the desirablity will go down on these because frankly I think someday you'll be able to get any module/supplement you want, including the ST1's and POTVQ's of the world, on quality Pdfs.  It will happen, it's only a matter of time, and although the originals will retain value I think those desiring a copy without paying a grand plus will be able to get one.
