As you are likely aware; there are others who have also PM'ed me about my classified ad on the Acaeum, and though I obviously wish to get the best deal I can for the LE package, I do not wish to hold everyone on an invisible fishing line for too long, as I feel that would be unfair to all parties.

I don't get this. The last one went for $3 grand and you paid too much for yours 3 years ago? You should be laughing all the way to the bank. Think if you let it go for "the highest Mint Price indicated on the Acaeums Price lists"...

The Acaeum does a good job at surveying the previous prices, and it's very useful in that historical perspective. But it's nothing more than that -- old news.

I agree totally. Though I think you misinterpreted my statement.

Some years ago, when I bought the B-3 and strictly speaking of the time that I made my bid for the B-3, I had known that my final bid was way too much and that my final bid was FAR higher than even the Mint price listed for a B-3 on the Acaeums price guide......  
Now; However, and especially after the 3k E-Bay listing of a few weeks ago, my purchase of a few years ago seems to have been a much better deal for me than it did back then.

My point was that sometimes a high price for something now may not seem so high later on.

In today's market, I could probably get much more than 3k for my copy of Orange B-3 (Especially it being Mint and Shrink wrapped) if I chose to list it on E-Bay and advertised it here and at other RPG sites. Thing is, I wont be laughing all the way to the bank anyway, since the only way that B-3 is likely to leave me is after I am dead, or if I get too poor to buy bread for the family. If the former, then Mike will likely sell it for my wife and split the profits, if the latter, then it will have done some good for my family.

BTW: Mike is NOT exaggerating in the least about the white box sets that I had collected.
I did in fact have (at least) 15 OD&D White Box Sets at one time.
And he knows it to be a fact too, since he bought all but a couple of them from me 3 years ago.

hey guys...  I don't want to be a pedant, but I suspect that this discussion might run for a bit, suggest taking a discussion/debate about value and markets to a specific thread?

First print or fading?

Never seen that reddish, wine coloured purple though. Maybe that one's been aged in an oak cask.

And Radford, Virginia as well for the location...

Indeed it is. I just looked at the printing info. They seem to sell for a fair bit too.

D&D Trivia game. I hour to go, one bid only at $4

The module you are looking at, 184 out of 300, has no writing in it at all.

The one that was sold recently would be copy 39, making this copy the 40th known to exist

Sweet. I betcha it goes for over 2k.... easily.

The listing is a bit melodramatic though - makes you wonder if the Seller can be trusted:

Actually, comparing the price to the contents, it does not seem very "interesting" to me.
