Especially when you consider that this one went completely untouched:

Am I missing something?!?

Seems very strange to me, both links go to the exact same listing.....

something certainly odd about that one. i sent a msg to the winning bidder (when he was outbid at £20.00 and said to him that i had a nice SW one of that mod that he could have if he wanted it instead of having to put on a higher bid to get that one. clearly he didnt bite and wanted to part with a further £10 to get that one. the total stupidity of some ppl never ceases to amaze me

WTF? Time to ditch your old figures...

Can anyone tell me why this collection is fetching such a high price?

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

I have lots of pre-slot Citadel and Ral Partha miniatures like that - and frankly have no idea why these in particular are so high.

Is it time for a general price raise in miniatures too? Time to sell our old boxes of unpainted figs?

Well, I know why those went so high. It is pretty obvious if you think about it. People are stupid. :roll:

All the CD-Roms (Core Rules, Dragon Mags Archive, Interactive Atlas) have increased strongly in value over the past months. But what you pointed out is probably the most stupid bidding war I have ever seen.

What you all don't think paying $275.00 for 1 CD is a good deal?! :roll:

And to think, I have that stoopid CD somewhere, and thought it was garabage. 8O

I have it too, and I still think that. It is difficult to read/use the maps that come with it and the map making program sucks even more. I wish I had the package :( so I could get something near that price when I list my copy..... Along with the Core Rules and the Expansion CD's.....

Of all the CD's I bought, the compiled Dragon was the only one I avoided, wish I had that now, seeing those prices.

Yep, I forgot about that one. I have it too. How much would you offer for it....? :lol:

I guess I will list it at the same time as the other two sets. Perhaps not, as I had been hoping to get copies of the first 100 issues of Dragon for my collection first. That is proving to be a far tougher deal than I had hoped/thought it would. But, once I have them in hand (So to speak), I will certainly rid myself of that CD set as well.

By then the sets will likely be going for 10 cents or so in Mint Condition sealed in the box (Which of course I do not have) :roll:

I doubt the Dragon CD will go that cheap ever, having them on disc would be handy.
