Missed this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 6932136508

But seems like a lot for an incomplete set.  Unless you've got a spare Vol2 to make it complete.

(*points to bidding history*, but I presume there were other snipes, too ;))

$583? Nah; was a fairly sensible price, IMHO.

1st printing with stated-original horizontal-grain box. Go figure...
Would've been a good "upgrade" to my 1st print "chimaera", anyhow, and provided another woodgrain to put the 2nd prints in.  
Am sure I wasn't the only person in that kinda boat.

That realisation should be far higher than the upcoming 3rd print: check the Acaeum estimates & auction history (although I'd debate that a Poor 1st is worth $200 more than a mint 3rd!).

Almost.  But it must have been a bit on the high side, as yours was too low and mine just failed to register.  :wink:

Heh, heh... you meant that the board missed this one... Bad, John! :P
Yeah, you needed the box, too?

(aside: Any thoughts on why a 1st print being sold on behalf of the original owner should have a horizontal grain box, Paul?)

That's exactly what I meant.

Was trying to pick up a box for my woodgrainless ( :cry: ) 3rd printing.

Hrr... don't tell me you were bidding on the basis of a 3rd print, too?
(Far as I could tell, the seller hadn't been asked many questions, but I was away all weekend and Monday).

You'd better be quick.  T1-4 with a BIN of £7.99.  Resisted the temption to buy and resell.  Not a lot of margin after the postage.

Who's going to get it?

I made the mistake(?) of not asking any questions.  I just assumed that it was a 3rd.

Err... Oops! :( :(
About five or six messages back and forward to the seller by Friday morning, here. Had difficulty believing they were 1st prints, needless to say.

(Truth be told, the "breakup value" of that set to me was much higher than my snipe bid, given my existing sets, so I just put in a bid at which I wouldn't have been too worried to have lost to someone just buying it "as is".
Number-crunching The Acaeum would probably have told me I should've bid best part of $1,000. *lol*).

Maze of Zayene #1-4
Lucky winner also receives promotional flyers for the "Garden of the Plantmaster" and the NEVER released "City of Brass" modules

Looks like the end price might be too much for me purse but they seem to be really nice items for Greyhawk fans :)

Man, $583 for an incomplete set? I knew it was a 1st print, but there was no way I was paying that much for it!


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

I guess I should have posted this one, but I had it for a bit at $50 :)  That would have been sweet.

Aaron has many copies of Rob's old books, FYI, so there's no need to feel that you _must_ pay a high price for them:  more will eventually come along :D

I'm going to yank the cougar's chain a bit on the trashed H modules.  Should be fun.
