Is that the ever elusive, ultra rare, hard to find, only three million printed, have never seen one in such good condition, Orange cover Isle of Dread? Let the frenzy commence!

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

Ok let me get this right, after I pay $30,000 for this artwork, the seller also expects me to fork over an additional $25 bucks for shipping? You'd think that he would eat the shipping cost

But on the other hand I guess if you have that much money to blow on artwork, another $25 is chump change.

Just noticed too that if you live in Texas you pay $2,175 in tax as well....ouch!

This is the second time someone has posted a link to this item. I think the first time the ebayer was asking only 24k for it. They have a bunch of other original art listed that I seem to recall being half of what they are asking for it now. I guess if it doesn't sell the first time, increase the price 6k and hope it sells again.

The real funny thing is that I have seen several of these sell recently for over $200.

Wow! You would think this was good, or rare... Maybe the attractive female on the cover?

well the buyer is from Down Under.

All that time they spend upside down causes

a) their hair to fall out :-)

b) them to have more money than sense

Mind you if they can flog wool to the French for $1 million a bale i guess they can afford it.

Well the aussie dollar has apreciated against the US$ by about 40%, in the past 10 odd months, but still this is a good price, maybe prices are really going up for the SW items, I was only thinking about this yesterday that these modules are now 20 odd years old! and I remember them when they first came out, is it just me or am I getting older.....

Has there been no silly auction prices lately. This used to me my favorite thread.
