I'm just glad you quit when you did! My max bid was $350... :oops:

I've been wanting the monochromes since I sold mine 3 years ago, and I hated the idea of tracking them down 1 at a time and waiting forever. I figured it was worth an extra $100 or so for me to just get them all at once.

It's a nice set. I had it priced out at $200ish in VF condition. (Since there weren't any pictures) So I think you did pay a $100 premium to get everything at once. I wouldn't want to gather them 1 at a time either. *shiver* Good score!

That's what I'm in the middle of atm. I did happen to get a nice set of D-1, D-2 and D-3 all together. Unfortunately the seller forgot to mention they smell like an ash tray. Good thing I bag everything, lol.

Wasn't on ebay, but I just picked up 3 SW copies of the Silver Anniverery box set for a very nice price

Eww. Nice false advertising eh?
Fine print: My dog chewed the covers, I used part of the interior as a set of coasters, my roomie used the maps for rolling papers, and about half have coffee stains.

There was a thread here not so long ago about removing cigarette smell - I think placing said items in a sealed box with some activated charcoal (which is pretty easy to get) should do the trick (after about a week or two), followed by a good airing.

$35 for a 30-sided??? What was it--unusual material, size of the die, both?

Managed to pick up a complete set of Aussie D1-3 & G1-3 monochromes. Excellent condition.

Very happy, though they didn't come cheap.

I am not sure exactly where he is going with that. The jewel of that lot was the first print player's handbook!!!

Yeah, I have a 30-sided around here somewhere. Think I could get $35 for it? It's the special temperature-sensitive, glow kind.. :lol:

Will have to get the camera out when I get back from holidays at the end of this week. The family's off down south for about 6 days.

Will hopefully get some on about Saturday next week.
