That box is in great shape, the books have been well loved, though. But still, nice score!

To play??? What? Who said that???  

Excellent find!

*nods* Was the price on Craigslist, anyhow.

+thx for the photos to clarify - the original advert made that late 1st U&WA a somewhat different shade of cardstock. Mystery solved. ^^

Got this for 4 euros plus shipping (and it's in great shape):

Wow, $3 per Supplement is wonderful value.

No matter what printing they are.

Have no idea why this sold for so little.

Box not perfect, dice might not be original, and it is a later print... still.

My first recent fun find...

Bought a large lot of ratty play quality stuff for about $3/piece once you included shipping.

It was all of it was exactly that, better than fair, but no where NM.

The prize?

A complete 2nd print of Outdoor Geomorphs: Walled City, uncut and in pretty good shape actually, again not NM, but very decent.

And a near complete Set Two and Set Three Dungeon Geomorphs, both missing the front cover sheet, but both having the final back sheet which has all of the juicy stuff on it.

Combined with the Set One I got in a Basic box I got for about $15 last year, I just got a complete set of all of the extra info from the various Geomorphs as a surprise.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

It's an excellent deal for two reasons. First, the books seems is excellent condition, second it is the first print by Transecom, that was quickly followed by another translation and cover title, once Transecom was no more distributing and translating AD&D material in France.

Went in to my favorite local used bookstore today and was informed by the friendly folks who work there that they had recently bought a huge stack of D&D stuff (basic/expert, 1e, and 2e).  They know that I am a collector and pulled out the basic and 1e stuff for me to look at.  I bought a few modules, between $5 and $10 each, but these were mostly better condition versions of modules I already own.  I was upgrading condition.  But they did have one item I didn't have and was excited to find, one of the Fighting Wheels.  It was shrinked with a DM screen, with the top of the shrink split open, obviously not original shrink.  I paid the price that is on the yellow stickie note in the picture.  I have no idea how great of a deal I got but I am pleased regardless.
