I gave that one great consideration, but left it in the end 'cos I don't have much Birthright stuff. I haven't received my two yet, but the seller was a bit pissy about wanting to send them surface to the UK for $25. I convinced him to send them Airmail after a week of e-mailing him (still cost me $17), so hopefully they'll arrive. I made sure I paid that one on a CC just in case they don't turn up.


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

If it is any consolation, I already received mine last week and everything was just fine. :)

It took me 10 days to convince him that I knew he was ripping me off. It's still costing $17 to ship 32 sheets of paper (no card covers) to the UK, so they better be well protected and not folded.

My fun find for the year, I guess. January 1st, too.

3rd print OD&D set. Two small pieces of tape at one corner of the box, otherwise VG/VG (box definitely better than average), complete with correction and ref sheets.
$50.

With luck like that (and only with that), I'm half-tempted to offer Shane a swap for that white "I" booklet auction lot. ;) :P

Neat!
Are you sure you've got space for all that? (Not all of us have spare castle-sized rooms like Al).

I stopped telling that joke when the Canadian dollar was trading above $0.87 US last week...a 17 year high. Now is a very good time to be buying from the US. :wink:

Doesn't that work out to about $1 US per item?  Not bad.  More difficult to explain the exchange rate to my wife:  "Honey, look!  I got a great deal on this giant stack of game stuff!  Honey?"

About $1.30 US per item if my math is correct!  Beauty of if is many of the items are actually in better shape the the stuff in my collection :)  So I will upgrade and sell off the extras.  Another great part is that I sold off my MERP's stuff a few years ago when the prices were nuts, know I have a very comprehensive set again costing me virtually nothing!  Even some of his Rolemaster items I never heard of.

Probably not sleep again tonight.

There are no bad editions of D&D, just Boring Players and Unimaginative DMs.
