Yup, it was me. I didn't want to post anything until I had it in my hands for fear of jinxing it. It was described well, got it just as described with 6 Reference Sheets and an errata sheet.....no pencil marks anywhere even though he says in the description there is. Box is solid, the couple tears at the corner/edge are just in the paper coating, the box is solid all the way through. Anyway, I'm stoked. 8O

P.S. May consider offers if anybody wants a solid woodie......?

Third printing?

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Yup, third print. The guy did a great job of describing it, I'm kinda surprised he didn't realize what it is actually worth. Hell, maybe he only paid $20 for it, so, at $450 he 20x his investment.

Was any of the following part of the deal?
-Meeting at a crossroads at midnight
-Contracts signed in blood
-Renunciation of Christ & of all his works
-A seven- or ten-year window to enjoy your purchase

Great haul. I'm a bit disappointed you're now open to offers. I would hope such a find would be kept and cherished.

Just got married, had a 3 week honeymoon, saving for a house. Wife gave me some serious angry looks as I clicked Buy-It-Now to boot. We've all got our reasons, no need to feel any sort of way about it.

Given the right price, any one of us would sell some or all of our collections.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Well, to make this short, as the new timey thing zapped what I wrote.

These guys are all VF or better. A bit of rust on a couple, but not too bad. Now I have to make the terrible decision about who stays and who goes.

Another step closer to reacquiring all the programs from conventions attended back in the day.

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

I ditched many of my old con programs in a fit of organized recycling sometime back when I was in high school (or perhaps undergrad). Sigh....

I pretty much did the same thing about 15 years ago. Regretted it within a year. Slow go trying to find them again.

I got an UK release of the Mentzer Basic set in what I'm calling "novel form" in that it is digest sized. Probably sold by a member here, in fact.

Been looking for a nice copy for quite some time. But most have been selling for around $200 so I was happy to get this one. Looks like a little staple rust.
