And yet Hermit doesn't seem keen to sell them to me - curses, foiled again!


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Seriosly though - Rakeesh spot on with his note about hidden items - in this case seller would have been better off just putting one photo with all the stuff in a lump - casual observors would quickly have inundated him with questions and price would have been much higher (possibly even more than A$300!!)

:)  I know that Fine+ condition Aussie Monos are in the $100+ range. So I was relieved that the D series were in good condition (especially D3). But I really had no idea what the G series with their imperfections were worth. But I gather from your notes, that they are still worth a fair bit!!!  

Yes. It wasn't listed very well. I spotted the auction late, but then didn't make a big announcement. You have to get a good deal from time to time to keep positive about the hobby.

Not too bad a win here although there's nothing rare or special in this lot.

I'll re-sell all but one or two items.



The seller has some other attractive lots if you are into Forgotten Realms paperback books. 8)

Very nice - the money's made back (and doubled?) on The North box set straight away

Well, I didn't have much of a birthday on my actual birthday, but I did have a celebration for it on Sunday. Upon opening some presents, I discovered I had been given nearly $150 in Egor Bucks (basically, free money for me to spend in his store), a leather-bound version of The Adventures of Baron Münchhausen RPG (one I did not know existed; I was aware of the original but not this reprint / redesign) and a R1 in excellent-fine shape (a little cover wear.) I did also get several DVDs that I had on my list, but those aren't really for this thread. I even won some money on the traditional scratchers. So, I consider that a pretty awesome round of presents.

The leather-bound "Gentlemen's Edition" was limited to 1000 copies, and was only available via pre-order (though some stores reportedly got them by pre-ordering via the normal consumer methods).  I've yet to see a "Wives' & Servants' Edition" (the standard, soft-back version) yet, so I can't comment how they compare.  Wish they hadn't stuck that ugly white sticker on the back though. :(

And you probably weren't aware of it, as they only just released the new edition sometime in Oct. ;)

(Happy belated, by the way.)

Wish my family would be that supportive of my choice of hobbies. All I get is raised eyebrows. I doubt anyone knows where to pick up this stuff. Nice for you!  8)

Finally...

Just finished hitting some bookstores here in Chicago and what do you know...I picked up a very early DMG print. Since I do not have the printing order memorized I was not sure which one I had. Just got back to my room and fired up the laptop...3rd print alpha!

This is the first tiime I have ever found anything remotely worth anything outside ebay or a convention auction.


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

Compare it to:

Same seller even.  Strange or lucky? :?:

That's a great find.  Did you mean the 2nd Alpha with the monster manual pages, by the way? What's the condition like?

Thanks for the info.  I know some of these garner ridiculous prices, but I didn't know if the Catoblepas was one of them.  I've been wanting one of these for a while, so I'm glad I got it right.

Nothing major, but good to me:

Faiths and Avatars x 2 [1 in NM and the other VGC] = $10; plan to upgrade the one I had already and then sell the other two

Guildcraft for d20 -- looked interesting, especially the stuff on creating guilds and running them; keeping it = $2.50

HackMaster GamMaster's Shield -- didn't have, heard good things, so decided why not = $2.50

Experts for d20 (mostly interested in the foreword by EGG) but maybe it has some neat ideas to use for NPCs in any RPG; keeping it for now = $2.50

EX1 and EX2; did not have either of them (outside pdf) and they were both on sale, so I figured I'd give it a shot = $1 total

Also picked up some Games Workshop Blood Bowl stuff, but that's irrelevant.

Don't think I did too bad.

I have some Blood Bowl magazines (Issues 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 9); are they worth much?  I was thinking of putting them all in one lot on eBay.  Also, isn't there a Warhammer forum somewhere where I can advertize this kind of stuff?  Thanks for any help you can provide.
