this is interesting not the item itself, but because it is still in shrink:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

...and honestly this is the first time i see a SWed HB 1st edition!

Probably it's reshrinked. I don't know of any TSR hardcover which was factory sealed.

Agree, in all my years of playing/collecting I have never seen one that was shrinked coming from TSR.

A Wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

mixed lot with Brotherhood of the Bolt - NO international shipping though :cry:

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

O.K. I am showing my ignorance. What is "Brotherhood of the Bolt" and why are some people interested in it? I am assuming it usually sells for a lot, so how much? Is it rare, good or both? :?:

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

...i have no clue on minis but 10 bucks for a BIN seems to be a decent price!

Definitely at the top of my wish list.

Dragonstrove still has one for $150, with maps still attached. Not too far overpriced, in my opinion, though I know some others here would disagree.

$10 BIN, $10 shipping . . .

I almost bought them, but the picture is too dark and shows no detail.

[ranting]

I see half-a-dozen humanoid Heritage figures but can't make out exactly what they are. About half of the 75 figures appear to be Minifigs, which generally aren't valuable. The box is for Grenadier's Children of Diana set, but the picture is so badly-lit that I can't see which figures are female. I see mounts but can't see the riders. Is that a mounted Death Dealer or a worthless figure?

[/ranting]

Still . . . maybe some good stuff is hidden in the darkness . . .

This is where humanoid collectors with infravision have an advantage. Unfair, really- they can peer into a murky digital photograph & discern details a human cannot. Racial bias on the part of ebay, we should complain!

Make them ASCII images instead of these newfangled JPGs and GIFs.

Guido got that lot. Maybe it will show up on the Fun Finds thread if rare figures are present.

I think its a little overpriced compared to what they typically go for on Ebay nowadays. But I don't really know why this one spiked up to the $100 module level. I have seen just as many of these as most of the other Companions modules. Personally, I had the hardest time trying to track down Gems for Death.

I think its a good module but I think all of the Companions modules are way above average.

Thanks Aia! I splurged and picked up the Greyhawk and Menzoberranzan boxed sets too.

Kind of blurry, but it looks like it might be an F116-R in the upper right corner (1st print)

This fit right in with the new obsession . . . minis. Okay, new for me. I have piles of the dang things but I was never a "collector". Since I have to put aside pile of gold to get the goblins through college, I need to find a less expensive collecting habit than the non-TSR early AD&D/D&D material.

If there is anything of note, I will post it to fun finds.

Let's git to killin'!!
