Yesterday had what I thought was going to be an entry for the shady dealers post.

Bought a lot of 3 box sets and a book just to get one of the box sets.  The price for the lot was less than what I was willing to pay for the box set I wanted.

The seller invoices me and I'm looking at the shipping and thinking "crap that seems a bit high for shipping".

Well, the stuff arrived and as I pick up the shipping box I think "crap this box is heavy".  Turns out that not only were each of the 3 box sets complete, they were filled with other stuff as well.  It was all 2E hardbacks so it wasn't a jckpot, but I didn't have anything of what was in there.

I really don't mind steep shipping if the box sets are ballasted with extra stuff.

It is always a great feeling to get extra booty in a boxset like that.  It happened to me as well when I purchased two Marvel Super Hero RPG boxsets.  The boxes were just packed with mods, supps and all very nice condition as well.

Yes, that's a very good price for that.

Or maybe the H serires is slowly descending to reasonable prices? I have this feeling recently that its prices are starting to cool down.

Nice one.  The copy I just bought is, alas, incomplete.  You don't happen to have any spare parts lying around, do you (or anyone else)? :D

This thread needs a bump...

Took a chance with this one, but it paid off with over 40 books! Just common stuff, but can't beat the price!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1

This one arrived today...about as cheap as I've ever gotten it thanks to poor title and spelling

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1

Looks like BTB got a good deal here....

Why thanks, Killjoy32bulia.
As an on-topic note, I had a nice chat with Allan/grodog tonight, easily one of the nicest guys on the board. He might have the DeepDelve item I've been missing! Woohoo! Now I need to focus on Calthonwhey. I'd forgotten all about that until he mentioned it.
