why has it got the european format?!? wasn't it a tournament module? ...i've always though that the tournament was an US tournament...

ST1 was a UK item (i think?) was designed specifically and was crap anyway hence why it is super-rare nowadays

its funny that tho isnt it - super fab item = very common

crap item = very rare

Are we nearly there yet?

This goes to my much-repeated question about Ebay pricing: Why?

Why do some sellers list prices that are far out of proportion to the obvious market value of an item.

BUT...this question just got answered over on another thread when that piccolo.gatto guy paid one billion dollars for a $20 module.

I guess that's why I'm not making money on Ebay.

Now that I am done bitching about not being in the right place at the time, here was one circumstance where I was:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Set is very nice.

Anyone interested in either of my other 4th print set? <Seriously>

Very nice one, indeed. Way to go Brian! What are those extra little sheets behind the ref sheets in the main pic?

Just two resellers looking to make a profit were in on this one . . . All five BECMI plus World of Greyhawk and Battlesystem for only $43.66 plus $13.50 shipping!

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 0013292178

I liked the look of this one so much I placed an early bid to keep others from "asking" to BIN . . . and then set my snipe.

Close, Al. I believe it is the fairy logo ST1 you're thinking of.

Haha..Wouldn't that be cool, though?

Stephen, you should edit your picture to show a bunch of rares floating in the lake behind you.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Did you know that if you plastic-wrap 4 OCE's and glue them to your boots, you can walk on water?

Works even better with Browns, tho.
