This bundle has been sold by Noble Knight Games for a long time.  They have a ton of these.  The price you paid is pretty much consistent with what they have been going for +/- $20.  Not sure if you were aware but the "City of Brass" is only a promotion flyer.

Yes, I was aware. Did the other bundles they sold have the City of Brass flyer?

Yup I thought about bidding on that one but the actual currency exchange rate from Swiss Franc to Euro is the killer   :x

I saw these, read the description, and said well $70 probably means $35 each. So why not try a snipe of $100 bucks. What the hay right. No one noticed or maybe they aren't worth a thing? Anyone know about these?


I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about these, invincible.  Noble Knight has a fair amount of the old CU stock, so they're not super-rare.  

The Acaeum research about the City of Brass:

Page Not Found


Rob published a version of CoB in 2003 with Kenzer & Co. for their Hackmaster game, but they got someone else to finish his ms. while he was offline for 6+ month on disability from a multiple-fractures broken leg :-/  I have Rob's original ms., and it's substantially different from the version that Kenzer published :-/

If you're a fan of RJK's work, feel free to drop by his messageboards at http://pub175.ezboard.com/bpiedpiperpublishing and say hi---he's online daily, and is quite friendly =)

edit:  At GenCon, Crazy Egor was selling printed copies of the freebie City of Brass for about $5 each IIRC---they were printed straight from the Acaeum version, with the usual header/footers/etc. >-/  When I pointed this out to Rob, he went over and gave them an earful, and they pulled the copies.

I have never collected Dragons, but I have been waiting to get a good start.  I think this lot qualifies. At 50 cents an issue, I am feeling pretty good so far.


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

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Not a bad deal at all considering how crazy OCE's have been recently!

draco.

Normally I do bid on White box sets. In fact, at the time that one was going I was bidding on about four others....


Nice nab there.  :) The Supplements alone are going to get a higher price than you paid for the lot if sold separately.

Thanks Frank.  The first 2nd printing I've seen in 25 years.

OK, it's a bit rough.  But still a bargain.
