I think it's the Black & Decker vibrator that comes with it they're bidding on.

I actually went back to see if there was a vibrator in the picture..... :oops:

I would like to see the stuff in the green portfolio just to see if there was anything interesting they wrote up..

It is always fun to see someone else's homebrew stuff. I have a failry large stash of stuff garnered from various purchases over the last year or so. I used to just throw it all out. But I am gonna auction it off with my next ebay dump (next couple weeks or so).

Of course, I am not gonna drop $400 to see what this dude has...

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I used to keep all my D&D stuff in a green TrapperKeeper!

I actually just checked carefully to make sure that wasn't mine (which went missing circa 1983). But it's not ... I never drew pictures like that, and I certainly tried to make sure my dungeon layouts didn't look like a vulva.

The thing is, Xaxaxe, no one at my game table had that much anatomical knowledge back in the day. I could have named my dungeon, "Queen Labia's Tube of the Fallopians" and they wouldn't have snickered. :lol:

Honestly, the green Trapper got my heart-rate going. The one I lost had all my characters, a bunch of NPCs, some dungeon notes, etc.

I mean, logically, I know it's long gone ... it wouldn't have survived being lost for 23 years. Emotionally, I would love to find it somewhere.

I was just about to post this auction...it seems a bit high with not much meat.

Although the Dungeon Hobby Shop catalog is interesting...I haven't seen that one before. Anybody know what year it is? I'd guess 80 or 81 based on all of the other products.

Hexagonal Mapping Paper in shrinkwrap might be hard to find...but still (and the staples look real rusty).

I have no idea. It's a d20 book; the cover prices these days are ridiculously expensive to begin with. I can't find an English "Atlas of Greyhawk", but I think this is the french version of the "Living Greyhawk Gazetteer", which has a MSRP of $26.95 USD. The French version seems to list for 40 Euros. Of course, eBay should be less, not more.

It may be a bit over the usual value, but still it's only 22 dollars. I'd say it's about acceptable.

I had a heck of a time finding a nice one at an ultra-cheap price (sub $10 before shipping). It took a few months of lazy searching, but I managed. Yes, that's too high.

Hey! Didn't you buy that from me? Ultra cheap, months of lazy searching . . . hmm, guess I must of set the BIN too low.

I'd consider the offer, however I have a SW copy which I purchased for about 12 dollars, so I'll pass.

Was OP1 shrinkwrapped? I always thought it wasn't.
