Nope these all look like decent prices. I've seen GDQ much higher and Temple of the Frog.

The price for the GDQ looks high, but it also looks in better condition as well.

Recently got a SW B2 2nd print in with a B/X ebay acquisition. The X set is the true-first print I've posted in another thread... the Basic set is a 2nd print Moldvay but it was missing the proper B2 and had this SW 2nd instead.

Anybody know what a 2nd print SW B2 is worth?

hehe.

I paid a lot for the auction because I could tell from the photos that the X set was in fact a true 1st and everything was in fine or better shape.

This was after I talked him down from $75. bagged dice, books mint, with all of the inserts... here's my thread about the details of this set: viewtopic.php?t=8765

I wonder why he had a SW B2 of the wrong printing in this set?

I posted this on the Appraisal Board earlier as I had no idea what it was...

Nice find John: I have three sets of these, and posted some info @ http://tomeoftreasures.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=560 but I appear to have deleted the pics that had been there.

Let me see if I can upload those again....

WOW!
80 cards?
WOW!

And all the (FEW) cards in my newly aquired set look near mint.
Nothing is punched or torn.

Just picked up an OD&D 4th print. It was less about price and more about getting it into my collection. Still, going into Gen Con I don't feel I paid anything astronomical.

I would have liked to have one in the collection, but to me, that one wasn't about price. It was about condition.

I just uploaded my pics, so they're visible again in the ToT thread.

While not super rare, I picked up a factory shrinkwrapped D1-2 for $10.00 in the dealer hall at Gen Con. Who'da thunk it. I keep hoping to find other deals (probably driving the spouse nuts with repeated trips to the dealer hall).

Just arrived today. Exactly what I thought it would be, a 4th print (no, not 4th+), although I didn't expect the condition.

VG box at the best, obviously been moved around. The rulebook and B1 are virtually untouched, and would be NM except for the slight staple rust on the B1. Even have an extra loose last page for the B1 for some reason. Dice in unopened bag.

The Mags are issues #22 and #24... NM! Had expected much, much worse, but kept my fingers crossed.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

That gives me a partial 3rd print (need the Geos), complete 4th print, complete 4th+, and complete 7th. Still have a few prints to go.

I have not had a complete nice copy of S-1 in several years.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

I had been looking for a nice copy of the module for a while.

Though not intensly since I also have the Super Module....

It always either seemed like I missed on the good listings when they sold for low amounts, or that they were already too high to bother with bidding for when I see them.

I saw this one and a few others with what I thought were good BINs so I hit the ones I wanted the most...

I got 5 modules in all with BIN purchases from the same seller.

D3 ($6.95), S1 ($6.95), S3 ($7.95), L1 ($5.95), L2 ($5.95)

Each of the ones I BINed are in Fine or better condition.

The seller had about 12 or 15 TSR modules listed with similar priced BINs.
