When I saw this I vomited in my mouth a bit. What a frickin joke.

Wow, that's rude

I don't think so. I could see myself paying $1000 for R1-4 in mint condition if I really wanted them that bad, had the money to burn, and didn't have a lot of other options. But asking $179 for an R2 that looks like that is just criminal.

Gygax has traveled back in time! Because it was written in 1978....before he made the game.

Must have been that damn Ring of Gaxx!

well considering his feedback....i think "the light is on, but there is nobody home" tells us a lot about what his brain holds

Are we nearly there yet?

I am very tempted right now to start asking some questions of this seller. :twisted:

The guy's got a feedback of 80.0%, what more do you really need to know? Pretty sure that's lower than jonb went before he vanished.

This is just weird.. especially since the box looks a bit battered and the person describes it "This is a mint and boxed game in unplayed condition" (if so, why are the stand-ups all standing up?)

Mount Celestia doesn't want me and Baator's afraid I'll take over.

This buyer (aroon_fr) is clearly insane. Shame about the 1st print rulebook but I'm not trying to try to outbid that feedback...

Ok, I know you're probably thinking, "that's not too bad a price, c'mon D." Well, sure. But look at these wins/almost wins:

I will preface this by saying that I know very little about MERP, but doesn't this seem to be a bit high:

That is actually pretty close if I am not mistaken. Might be a little on the high side. I had that at one time and don't remember liking it much...though that could be me. I am not sure why it seems to go for more than others.

As I am trying to complete my MERP collection this can be a bit frustrating but these also usually garner some pretty high prices:

Gorgoroth

Here is another Court of Ardor:
ICE MERP The Court of ARDOR Lord of the Rings | eBay

Umbar: Haven of the Corsairs, Grey Mountains, and Mount Gundabad also usually get pretty high but what really freaks me out is just how much the MERP Second Edition stuff goes for.

Mirkwood
Call of The Wild" London: Books | eBay

Hands of the Healer
Healer of The Pride: Individual Cards | eBay

The Shire.
Middle Earth The Wizards: Trading Card Games | eBay

This one has been sitting there for awhile with no takers but I have seen them go for more.

Yep, I'm never going to get them all. :cry:

That is why I placed the disclaimer first.

MERP is defintely not my specialty. :oops:

I auctioned off my MERP off a few years ago and I think I averaged over $90.00 per piece. My court of Ardor went for about $150.00 or so.
