I'm interested in listing items that I have that are incomplete but are in good enough condition that others may be interested in having them to complete their items.  Similarly, I'm interested in acquiring incomplete items to complete some of my incomplete sets.

 I doubt this would be a money maker for anyone but I'm sure I'm not the only one with a stack of stuff that's too good to throw out but isn't complete enough to keep or list on Ebay.

 Can we start a forum for this purpose?  Maybe we can just run with this thread for a while and see if there is any interest?

 Second and Third the idea and I'll post a few items.  I think people posting extras would work much better than people posting wanted items.  It is much more likely for someone to see a listed item and go "I need that" rather than someone scrolling through a mass of "wanted" items and taking the initiative to say "I've got that and I'll part with it".

Give me a couple of days (maybe a week) and I'll list my "have and want" list posted


GREAT IDEA :D

You will want to check out the TSR Bits and Pieces thread about5360.html and the JG Bits and Pieces thread about5303.html.

I think it would be more useful if the thread only contained messages where people list the bits they have and they can edit their one message to update it.  Having a thread with people listing a new item or two and then filled with,  "I think I have it, let me check" just clogs up the thread and would make it useless.

Excellent idea. It would basically be individual inventories.


If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

I have bits & pieces from the 1991 D&D basic box. I need the large maps & scenario cards from AH's HASL Red Barricades.

I can probably get you scans or copies of the scenario cards if you'd like. Send me an email at [email protected] if you are interested. I have a bunch of misft ASL stuff right now.

I have the following extras that I'm willing to part with:

Gamma World book (gray tone cover) and map.  Both are in good used condition.  The map has some gold paint splattered on its back but the front is clean.

Module I10 cover in good used condition

The Dungeon of the Bear level 1 for Tunnels & Trolls but missing the first four pages and the last two pages of the booklet.  The cover is in very good condition but the pages that are there have a little (quite little) stain on the bottom of most pages.

Strategy & Tactics #64 with map, magazine, and about half of the pieces

Strategy & Tactics #88 BAOR The Red Line magazine only

Lots of maps from TSR games that I can't identify

1981 Gateway to Adventure TSR catalog MINTY

A complete set of playing chits UNPUNCED from TSR.  The bottom reads 1988 TSR, Inc. 9241XXX1201.  it's got pieces as follows :light blue with crossed arrows labeled Goblin, Tan with sword labelled Hobgoblin, Wavy dagger light green chits with Kobold, light orange chit with pike labeled Gnoll.  Also has gray pieces marked Small Fortress, Fortress, Big Fortress, Shaman, War machine, Mine, Spy Master, Sr Spy, Dark brown chits with crossbows, and a whole bunch of yellow chits with numbers ranging from 1 to 4 and a few with Fools Gold 0 and one reading 5 treasure.

Colossal Cards by Larry Elmore (extras).  It's not a complete set but if you need a few to complete your set then odds are good I've got some of them.  I'm not missing that many from having two complete sets.

I've got extra maps from the following D&D Gazeteers...

THE SEA PEOPLE
TOP BALLISTA

I've also got D&D Expert Rulebooks galore (varying in condition), and enough miscellaneous parts from the second Forgotton Realms boxed set to complete a half dozen sets....

I think those are from GAZ 10 - The Orcs of Thar.  There were 2 sheets of cardstock counters, 296 in all.

I can provide copies of the missing pages if it is the same edition as the one I own.

I have the Forgotten Realms City System box set with everything except the 32 page booklet.

I also have the Forgotten Realms Cities of Mystery 64 page booklet, but nothing else from that set(that I know of).

I have these three Forgotten Realms maps from 1987 with these numbers at the bottom.

1031XXX0701
1031XXX0703
1031XXX0704

I also have a really nice 25th Anniversary Set box.
