What do you guys think?cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&a ... T&rd=1I had my eye on that last night but decided not to bid as you were on top at the time. Believe me with it sitting at $4.04 with less than 5 hours to go was quite difficult. I took a quick look at this morning before I came to work and it seemed like it is legit, although the feedback of the 2nd place bidder is pretty bad. I will take a closer look when I get home from work this afternoon. Good win either way though.

The descriptions are very accurate-- the extent of writing is less than one might think-- and I'd say the 3 booklets are at least VG/VG+. The Swords and Spells is at least VF, and the Chainmail is in excellent condition as well. The box is in rough shape-- stained, crushed and the top is missing a flap, but it's my first white box so I don't mind as much.Toss in 2 sets of (new, alas) dice and 5 or 6 (new, alas) minis, and the price is surprisingly low for the lot-- why did this one slip through? Do you all just have better copies at this point/didn't think the quality was good enough for resale, or has the recent glut of boxes caused you all to look past what strikes me as a good deal?Basically, I think I'm asking you all to tell me what I thought was a fun find is not really.

harami2000 wrote:$125 would still have been a good price, IMHO. (If I say much beyond that I'll start to feel sorry for the seller...).
