PS: for BClarkie: H-U-G-E is not enough!!!!!! You're perfectly right!!! I was cooking when I connected to ebay and my sense had to be ... obnubilated, erased or what you prefer. I repeat: congratulations to the seller (I won black opal eye!!) and thank you to the buyer

Giorgio was cooking...he was in Italy....so possibly could a bottle of red wine be the culprit of the huge bid? :D I know I like to use a bottle of red when I get the Spaghetti sauce going, and have been known to take a few nips off the bottle while doing so.

I have never made the mistake of drinking and then eBaying. It was just luck for a number of years and then a site I used to visit all the time "The Onion" ran this gem....

That has always served as enough of a warning to me even though it was a spoof news article.

PS Sorry for the link to a site with flash pop up.

Marlith, you realize the ID of bluebird27 belongs to the Onion, right?

I knew the article was not serious. I did not look up any of the User IDs. Interesting though that they used an actual ID and not just a mde up one. Guess maybe they had to for liability or something.

I thought I'd go for the complete set of R's & RPGA (even though I have the R's already), as I'd hopefully be able to upgrade the condition of some and partially complete the set overall (excluding the really rare ones).

I worked on the average of them overall (excluding the Poly's) and went from there.

I'm happy with the end price I paid, and given the end price of the individual ones I think I've had a win.

Plus for once It finished at a reasonable hour here and I was able to log on without falling asleep..

:D

Now to just receive them......I can post on their condition when I get 'em.

$800 for the one, too rich for me, but looked like a stunning copy from the pics.

*fingers crossed*

Yeah, is also a plus re. combined shipping to Oz. Make sure they're double boxed and then some, this time of year

Best not to use that to compare with anything, IMO!

(Just like many of the others were not really comparable owing to "TSR file copy #1" and similar provenance: was worth a premium to me, anyhow, albeit not a $450-500 premium! *lol*).

No-one loves RPGA4 it seems...

Thanks for steering clear of R1, Jeff. Am feeling pretty happy about that one, still, which I would've doubted for /any/ copy of that mod at that price a year ago.

Had better pay up, now...

This really isn't a silly auction price but reading his descriptive text is like reading a dry tech manual. It puts you to sleep and if you're not careful you'll be burned.

Budget is a little lower than 4K, still very nice copies and both of them will not go cheap.
