Sheesh...

Guess you're not complaining too much, Ian!?

Oh well, if the buyer's happy; and it's not a huge amount of money compared with some of the other silly prices which have been seen, in the past.

Ozzie G mods; $275
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5168174927

compared with $153.50 "first time" around,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5937140505

Hrmm... There's logic in there, somewhere...

(actually managed to beat the $260 for the rather better Ds, too)

===

Those mods with the fighting wheel I mentioned seemed rather high at $345, too.

OK, would any of the non-feline high bidders here like to explain, please. I know they looked reasonably good, but couldn't see anything overly "special".

This Non-Feline bidder stopped at $153 on that Auction, but I was planning on going much higher. Maybe up to $200 plus, but not $345....

I started bidding mostly as I like the fighting wheels (I already have one, but it is SW, and I will not open it, so I have been looking for one to examine and mess with) and all of the modules looked to be in Exc - Mint condition, and many of them I do not have.

My high bid was truly a paltry sum considering the final winning bid. Once it got past what I was thinking of going up to, I just sat back in awe....

FWIW: The last SW fighting wheel I saw went for about my high bid on that auction by itself... leaving only a couple of hundred for all those nice mods....

I had my eye on that auction the whole time and was considering like a $225 snipe plus shipping cost, because I wanted the fighting wheel and nothing else. I put price a on the fighting wheel at about $40-$50 which would have put about a $180 bid for the 32 modules($6 per)  that I would have split up and sold individually.  However, after it broke the  $225 barrier I was out, way out.  Considering the fact that most of the modules in that lot are pretty common, and 2 of them are just throwaways  (X1 & B2 regardless of their condition, both sell for next to nothing) there is just no way I could get value back on that by splitting it up and selling it.  From a selling stand point there is no way you could really expect to get more than an average $6-$7 per module on a lot like that, so unless you have a hell of a lot more use for that lot supplementing your own collection than I do (triplicates? I am set :wink: ) I cant justify going anywhere over $225.  Even still, if you take a very high end value on the fighting wheel, say $75.00, that gives you an auction total of $270 plus shipping for 30 modules.  $9.00 a module, no thanks, I'll pass  8O

i think i bid up to about $245 on that lot....was gonna put one more bid back on when i checked back after being told i had been outbid, but when i saw it had gone way beyond $250 (which was pretty much my target), i jibbed it. i only wanted the fighting wheel too, as i havent got one and would have just sold on the rest of the mods to part finance what i paid.

ne'mind - another will come along :)

Dungeon Game for D&D



In seperate Auctions this seller is listing a Seperate Portion of this game (That might sell as a whole game for $15)



Rules in this one,

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 5&rd=1



Spell cards here,

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 0&rd=1



25 Dead Monster Counters here,

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



there are many more listings for various pieces of this game as well. Too many for me to list here during lunch...



I bought a more complete version of this game not long ago and this past weekend my grandson and I played it. It was actually not bad a tall. He is 8 and understood enough that it was fun for both of us. We tied (lol). But one thing I will say is that Several pieces were missing here and there, I had to make due in some places and be creative at others.



After playing that day, I actually got on line and would have bid on another (if I had seen one) just to make a more complete single game set and kept the rest for future lost items.



Hmmmm... :idea:  perhaps I should bid on some of this stuff.......?? :)

$5 BIN? You wonder how can that be laughable? Check the item:

oh believe me i know EXACTLY how you feel....the sooner the UK gets rid of that melon we have in office, this country might just have a chance for once....but then, as is the usual way here, most ppl don't care, so another muppet will just end up taking his place and it will be just as bad as before.
