I took a gamble and picked this one up the other day:
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 5928903488
I'm hoping it's more than it seems.

The seller's in WI, at least.

Regarding the Tractics: I was a little confused grodog - the description says it is sealed in the original shrinkwrap?

What??

I was tracking that auction and either forgot to bid or didn't want to go that high...

so much for original factory shrink...

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

He posted the wrong link. That's what you get for boasting, Gro-man!
That really is a good find!

Yep, sorry guys: the correct link is at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5928649874

I was pleasantly surprised to actually nab the Tractics set---I've been outbid on the last several that I tried to get. Of course, I'll have to open this one....

Well, I think that qualifies for any "lot find of the year" voting we may do. Maybe not #1, but definitely top 10. Congrats.

someone I know bought a lot of books for $50 a year or so ago off ebay and they guy tossed in a bunch of other stuff for free, one of the items was a orange b3 in decent shape........... I'd have been like holy shi!!!! I was so freaken Jealous. He turned around and sold the b3 to a dealer at a convention for $300(he could have got a lot more off ebay) I'd have given him more then $300.

Yes, congratulations grodog.

Do your copies of the Geomorphs include the Gygax notes that came with them? If so, maybe you can give us a little review of your impression of them, or any interesting Greyhawk related tidbits. I assume you are planning some kind of analysis for your website eventually.

Thanks zhowar1 and everyone else

I will, in fact, be doing just that. None of the original three geomorphs sets have outstandingly-useful EGG notes from a Greyhawk point-of-view, but they're still interesting. The Outdoor Geos definitely include Greyhawk-specific materials, though they're still pretty generic, all-in-all.

I'm deeply indebted to Paul Stormberg for pointing these facts out in a thread here sometime last year, otherwise I wouldn't have ever known that the individual sets of geos had different sample encounter content at all!

Thanks for offering Frank. I'm in the process of putting together a trade wish list, which I'll post sometime in the next few weeks, and will be happy to consider offers then.

I saw this with about 3 minutes to go. . . . I really wasn't sure what to bid and revised my final bid 4 times.

Maybe not the best deal, but it's the first time I have seen all four with the mailing covers still intact.
