A totally crushed Box with the instruction booklets... no Game Discs...

What a deal...

Whaddya know. It's gone.  

I got this text from a listed used 1e Player's Handbook on Amazon.com for $300!  Here is the description.  Mind you, the book is listed as "Used - Acceptable" for $300..

FIRST EDITION!! This book was owned by a Dungeon Master. I also have his binders full of all his characters that I will include if you want them. I will also throw in the Dungeon Masters Guide (1979). The bulk of the pages of the Player's Handbook are separated from the binding but are intact to each other (could easily be fixed if you know how). Previous owner used this book religiously, wrote on some pages (mostly pencil). The provenance on this set is amazing. I will pay the extra shipping to send this UPS for the safe tracking they provide.

Gave me a good, hearty laugh!

Every sentence of this posting is priceless!  "This book was owned by a Dungeon Master."  

The thought of someone sifting through the SEPARATED pages of his $300 PHB, then stating "well, Gee, at least I got the binder full of characters!"

OK - I'm considering bidding!    



If there was some way to confirm that these dice are, indeed, inclined to roll critical hits, then they would most certainly be worth $9.99.   



The problem is provenance...certification of non-randomness.



If the dice were indeed random but lucky - well - bidding war!  

After a second look at the listing...

Two questions I have for the seller:

"If these dice are lucky, why are they still in their original box with perfect white markings in their numbers?  Does their luck extend to maintaining physical perfection, including the plastic container?"

Dice that are actually used in games show wear.  (Now I'm disappointed.   )

Also:

"Could you please relate a gaming story in which someone or something was done in by these dice in some particularly dramatic or ironic way?"

He's either got a story...or his dice aren't lucky.

Interesting lot, but the chuckle comes in the fine print:



"scammers beware I am strong with the force."



So if a bidder used to work for Watto, and learned how to resist Jedi mind control, I guess they are free to scam away?

It probably means he bothers to purchase insurance and a tracking number.

I suppose if you did buy them, if they weren't lucky you could always make a paypal/ebay claim for false advertising?

They're the luckiest dice he has ever used.  Luck probably wouldn't even transfer to the new owner!


Brette - love your sig!

How does "great" condition equate to "stained and yellowing" condition?
