well the_game_emporium must have a secret, he must cast a charm spell on ebayer...

He's done well lately but here's one he virtually donated to me recently. $76.00 for a fourth minus set. (It just came today and I'm still smiling)

Apparently the quality of crack cocaine has gone up recently, and this guy has a good dealer.

The DEA needs to check this dude out. Not to mention anyone who bids.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

HOLY SHIT! Nice catch! But I don't see the nun-shaped TSR logo characteristic of a 1st print ruler. Am i missing it?

Yup. It's the B9, which sometimes spikes. Meanwhile, a very nice B9 at 3178016223 is going hungry for bids ...

Good question. I really like how in the auction title they use "ORIGINAL" and in the descritpion they state "Special Silver Anniversary Issue! A Must for ANY Dungeons & Dragons Collector!!" but not that it's only one book from the Silver Anniversy box set.

Wow, That's got to be a record for a Judges Guild item! The same seller has several items that I would consider rarer such as:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 3177203777

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 3177201717

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 3177208861

I think the trick is in the way the info is provided: "(Blackmoor)" & "Blackmoor by Dave Arneson". Gives the impression perhaps that it is a lost TSR product. Notice how it soesn't say anywhere that it is a Judges Guild product... Pretty sneaky I'd say.

That davidvanwie guy is either one of those crack smokers or a dot-com millionarie who just wants to buy lots of stuff and doesn't care about the price.

I get lots of hits on the name in google, but maybe this is him :

That last auction (giants) is misleading if not downright fraudulent. I know he mentions the silver anniversary, but only in passing after noting the 1978 copyright in the first sentence...

This Silver Anniversary crap is really starting to piss me off!

I realize that these buyers just don't know what they are really bidding on, its actual rarity and the corresponding value, but to mislead someone down that path. . . to encourage a false value and imply a rarity that doesn't exist. . .

I am just getting angrier about it every day. I like making money at auctioning stuff too. . . as much money as I can. . . but with a little decency and respect for others.

I'm picking up that shrinked Silver Anniversary set this week - I'm going to do a little advertising.
