It's freely available on the WoTC download pages under the Dragon Magazine Archive Errata. It was in Dragon Magazine 142 but they forgot to put in on the CDs.

If people can't find it, and seeing as it's freely available from WoTC, I'm sure I wouldn't be doing anythin illegal if I made it available online.

If someone can find the link, post it here, otherwise I'll check back and upload it somewhere.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

In this case, I'm sure WoTC doesn't care, but in general, be careful. Many copyright licenses do not include the right to redistribute. (Even if it's free, they might want to force people to look at advertisements, for example. Horrible but true.)

More OCE madness

Bear in mind there is still almost 2 full days left :

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 3&rd=1

If this keeps up I may have to sell the one I own and buy another one later on after the prices recede from this lunacy....

Oops; was digging out the other thread and typing elsewhere...
Amused me, too.

What, only one copy you've got? They must be rare!

(*runs out to stack up on the last few (thousand) sets at $200 each*)

Admittedly, out of all the printings I've got, the OCE might be the worst "best" copy. *jk*

Definitely; and although they don't usually go for much, am surprised my flag-waving didn't push aneoth to his $20+ limit. (Apologies, but was worth mentioning, IMO).

Oh, and no surprise, they've just listed Dragon #1, 2, etc....
And another "Astounding Stories". *g*
But still no Coeurl... :cry:

Nice condition, yes, but $96 seems a "bit" steep. Four bidders over $75, too...

Very silly, 5+ days to go.

The OCE books that went with that other supplement.

$52 makes uiraimu's "traditionally handcolored" version look like a bargain (it's back up again, too).

When looking at books like that, it just has to make you wonder,"what the hell do these people do with these books anyway?". 8O

No slight felt.

FWIW: I would bid $14.50 (And perhaps $20+) on a nice SR #1 all day long and tomorrow too.... In fact, as you know, I have done so on several occasions ....

I also scored (from the same seller) a nice copy of Dragon #8.
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... RK:MEWN:IT
I did not have one before, and together they will cost about what either one of them might at another time.
I have seen more than one SR #1 go for over $30 in the past.... and certainly early Dragons too.

As an aside, it seems to me that MANY early Dragons are being listed on E-Bay this past couple of months.....

Here is a rather interesting auction opening bid:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 1&rd=1

Just think all, this is your opportuinty to own every 3ed book ever produced :roll:

If only it were every copy of every 3ed book ever produced, I'd go for it even at that price. Would make one hell of a ritual bonfire... :twisted:

Not quite D&D - but still TSR:

cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&a ... 7&rd=1

I know it's a couple of newbies bidding this one up, but I don't remember ever seeing a Star Frontiers module go for this much.

I don't think this is necessarily silly from a regular buyer/collector just starting out perspective, but I just can't gather why our furry friend has such a hard-on for this one:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... RK:MEWA:IT

I mean granted there are a couple shrinks(AC7 & I5) in there and a Baltron's Beacon, but still $322.00?!

As a reseller, especially from the UK and looking at a pretty substantial shipping cost, I just do not see how he could make a profit if he won that auction for that price & split it up.

I don't know, maybe its the high value Rub Down Transfers

Sometimes he just likes to see other people suffer, I think, if he can't get his way.

Had noted a few other auctions like that in the past; not one of which he ended up as highest bidder for.

Think kitty "playing" with mice, perhaps...

Not the silliest price but posting as a reply to the "playing with mice" message. I guess I am the mouse in this case. I started off just wanting to see some of these other publishers products and it is easier to buy cheap in a big lot where there are a few represented rather than buying one at a time and paying $5+ shipping on each. Now Cougar seems determined to not let me have these and I am fighting the urge to win no matter the cost. Not knowing these products is there something valueable I am missing or is it him just being a jerk as I can not see where there is money to made after the cost of shipping overseas?
