I was watching a antiques auction the other day and they were at an auction were an old mug made from a human skull and finished in siver was under the hammer, the auctioneer said something towards the end "Remember that you can always make more money, but you'll probably never see one of these for auction again" It went for $16000au from memory...

Preferred your previous copy, tho'... ^^

The first copy came with TSR's editing on it, although the second copy had the Steve's playtest report with it. I wouldn't mind seeing that, but I doubt I ever will.

> Do you regret it? Yes & No. Yes, because I would have rather spent more money to get a nicer set than I did, but No, because having one of 1000 sets printed and being that they were assembled by hand in EGG's basement makes the set extremely special regardless of the condition.

You know, I wracked my brains and couldn't come up with a single high dollar purchase (over $100) ofa single item, unless Roslof's artwork counts (that was around $400 IIRC).  However, I have spent more buying large collections or lots.  I've had a 5 grand purchase, a 3 grand purchase, several $1000 purchases, and just recently two $800 purchases.  I don't regret a single one now, although at the time right afterwards I did regret the $5000 purchase (however it has eventually paid for itself double, and a few items made it into my personal collection).  I would absolutely never spend over a couple hundred on a  single item unless it was something I could resell and was an absolute steal (I.e., a orange B3, ST1, POTVQ, etc).  I've been ruined by years of finding treasures at used bookstores and just know the week after I paid top dollar for something I would find a nicer one at a local Half Price Books or somewhere similar.

Most Spent: I think it was around $150
For what: White Box (collector's ed) with all the other mini-books from that era
Do I regret it: Yes! Because not a Zues damn person I have ever played AD&D with has cared that I have them. Most don't even know what they are. No! Because I love to take them out about once a year and look at them.
