Hi there,



I'm an italian reseller and recentlyI've got from a US store a d&d collector edition still shinkwrapped.



I would like to know the value of this copy cause I really do not know! I've never seeen before a copy on ebay... but I'm not connected 7day a week  



Unfortunately the box is a little crushed cause someone stored something heavy on it  

Moreover, it has a small tear, 1 centimeters, on the left side.



Could you pleae help me?



Thanks

Another important factor is does it have the sticker that says the limited print inside is signed?

I was thinking he was talking about the 2 silver anniversary sets he picked up  from Titan because I just looked at them a little while ago.

Ah, sorry... I thought silver box, too.
But yeah, tear/crush from pressure should've indicated an OCE, I guess.

Amos: good to see you over here!
Zap us up a few pics from around the box: I (also?) have SW'd and freshly deshrinked copies that have the same characteristics which, if present, should help confirm on the genuineness.
A nice, fresh white color would help too, since rarely does an OCE out of shrink have no discoloration.
(I'm guessing would need to be a very early reshrink to "pass": perhaps less likely since the originals were on sale until around 1985).

As to value, the tear/crush really won't help: there was a similar SW'd copy on sale about a year ago and it bombed out in the low $100 range. Would /hope/ for more than that, now.

Cheers,
David.

I could be wrong but I thought he was refering to the silver boxes because I believe I saw him/her there with the rest of the usual suspects.

My rookie evaluation for this if I'm correct is $75-100 depending on the week.  Please respect anyone else's numbers before mine.

I had to specify: Original... collector's Edition!
Sorry for the missundertanding!

As soon as I discover how to post here immages I'll do it  

Depending on condition a $200+ close is not out of the realm of possibility. I would make sure and have as many good clear pictures of it as possible when you post it on eBay.

To post an image.

1. Set up an account at photobucket or imageshack (Google for their urls).
2. Load the image to photobucket or imageshack.
3. Make your post, replacing the url in the following with the url of your picture.

[img]http://www.photobucket.com/username/image.jpg[/img]

For example, an image I've used in the past...

...would show up like this:

I see red bus understands.

That piece was something I did up for a thread on another site.  Your next version of Dungeons & Dragons will eliminate the paper, and being software, won't be open source.
