I just bought a bunch of Dungeon and Dragon mags from a guy online. I asked him if he had any other items to sell, and he had a blue box expert rules set and some "odds and ends" that he said he would included for free since he was getting out of D&D. When the package got here, I found the following "extra" items in the blue box:

REF3 Book of Lairs (heavily used)
Original Rogues Gallery (heavily stained)
Monster and Treasure assortment (collected edition)
WG8 Fate of Istus (nice shape)
WGS1 Five Shall Be One (nice shape, w/map)
And the coolest:
WGA4 Vecna Lives in perfect shape!

What a nice guy, I'm going to send him some more $$$ by paypal tonight because I'm sure he doesn't know what its worth online or doesn't care! (and no, he doesn't have any other treasures, I already emailed him....)

Nice catch, Mike. :)

Funny, I have Vecna lives in damn good shape, it's worth money?? Who knew.

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

I have Vecna Lives shrinked. It has to go, I have no use for shrinked stuff.

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

I figure $5 a mod is fair...plus the blue box was complete also. I guess the lesson here is when you win something always ask if they have something else stashed away they don't mind selling!

Mike, when you decide to "get out of comics" just let me know. I get $10 off my next U-Haul rental. :wink:

Here was a nice surprise: I picked up my Tamoachan today, and one of the back pages is signed by James Ward and Jeff Leeson. Yippeeeeee!!!

Check out those shipping charges. Mama mia. It really adds up for multiple items with $1.30 to $2 each for additional items.

Yeah. But you'll pay it...if...you're desperate enough.

Okay, it is no Character Archaic for $10.00, but with the $3.00 BIN that I didn't even have to ask for(John Huck :wink:

) it is still pretty sweet.

Looks like a nice item. Anyone know anything about it?

It was a nice find, but this went for less without the international shipping costs.

I was waiting to bid on this one. But I never got a response to my question asking if the seller would ship internationally. I guess they do.

Nice pick up.

So, is BIN my middle name now? And does that mean I have something in common with Osama?
