Given David's went for more and mine was around the same value as your prediction I tend to agree.  

Will be interesting to see how hungry people are just after Christmas.  That credit card must be looking pretty full ...  :lol:

I think my guess might be a bit too low.

I wouldn't care if that was the only copy in existence.. that's a bundle of money for what is effectively some looseleaf pieces of paper.

Slap on some fancy Erol Otus artwork and now we're talking :)

I used to say that as well, things and circumstance change.  Buying the super rares is cool and in some strange sense satisfying :)


Games can get you through times of no money but money can not get you through times of no games!!

I am not addicted! Who said I was addicted?  Tell them they are wrong. I can stop any time I like.  Like maybe next week or maybe the week after that ... :roll:

i actually agree with the value of this module! I love prototypes! To me this module and others form this era are the seeds the game sprouted from! Here you can see the beginnings of the greatness and when compared to the later 1E modules you can see what it evolved into - I love it! The onlymodule i feel is overrated is ST1! That is because i feel its value is based soley on rarity and not quality!

Well, there had better be some more red-hot bidding before the auction ends.  I bought popcorn and everything.  Never let it be said that I don't know how to spend an exciting Saturday evening...  :wink:

Dudes.  If you want a new Encyclopedia Britannica, its going to cost you more than I just forked over for the Lost Tamo.  Its article on the Louisiana Purchase will be shorter than the one on Wikipedia, and I doubt it will have anything on Pokemon.  Or D&D.  Wikipedia is 40 times the size of the EB and growing exponentially.

How can you knock a free online resource which lists every guest star who ever appeared on the Muppet Show?  Excessive detail?  If you're not interested in the Muppets, don't read the article.  This is the web, it isn't wasting shelf space.  I've always been depressed by how poorly encyclopedias covered popular culture and how out-of-date they seemed.

Although Wikipedia falls short of an ideal information source, it compares well to traditional media.  As a child, I recall reading a book which explained how the Rothschilds started every war in modern history.  I remember watching a TV program (narrated by Leonard Nimoy, who I regarded as authoritative for some reason) which suggested that it was certain death to fly an airplane into a triangle with Bermuda at one corner.  If we could just return to the days when only people with money could spread disinformation.

Admittedly, the articles on D&D related topics tend to lack the encyclopedic style which Wikipedia strive for.    But really, this is more a property of the D&D community than of Wikipedia.  In other disciplines, such as mathematics, Wikipedia has superb articles.

I placed a bid on on it in the last seconds but was already outbid by $3.82 by grubbiv.  That was already more than I wanted to pay too.  Good win grubbiv!
