I've been slowly enhancing my collection over the past few years, and have only recently started on ebay. Not too worried about condition - shrinkwrap or polythene bags go straight in the bin! It's meant for playing

It's nice to see so many familiar usernames on this board - people I've dealt with many times over time.

I've used this Acaeum site a lot - it's excellent (thanks guys), but I've never ventured onto the forum until now.

Greyhawk man myself (Hi Grodog - great site) - 1st Ed mostly.

Managed to find a copy of I8 (Baltron's) recently; there seems to be another one going at the moment - please someone push the price up so I feel better!

I hope to pickup some more JG stuff from killjoy32 tomorrow (Hi).

Looking forward to some interesting and varied discussions in the future.

PS - Got a nice home ready for a 3rd ed Talisman dragon if you happen to see one in need of fostering  <g>

My D&D collection is likely a speck compared to everyone here. I get what I need to play and use it well. :}

So what do I collect, then? Planescape! A few friends of mine have used the words "rabidly" and "obsessive-compulsively" to describe my collecting, though I much prefer "passionately", myself. Simply, I love the setting, and my collection has grown into something I'm quite proud of.

I'd like to use the items I have and what I've learned to help other people with their collections, so I figured coming here was a decent idea. :} Also, hi to you sellers I bought stuff from. (burntwire, you've no idea how long I was looking for those faction pins... they were worth every penny to me. and I'm sure that gives away my ebay name )

My favorite pieces in my collection: Faction pins, stickers, and my newly acquired Lady o' Pain flask.
Elusive thing: Ral Partha Black Abishai (one last mini. sigh.)
The one that got away: Planescape TSR staff sweatshirt a couple years ago. Why did I miss that auction! It makes me all weepy.
I'm jealous of: Whoever had the cash to buy that rk post painting that was to be the Modron March cover.

Ok, enough from me then. Thanks!

stormber - You've certainly got a point, though I occasionally feel like I'm going broke, regardless. My collection makes me feel rather good... just to look at the items that took so much work to acquire and, of course, to put the materials to good use and scare your players with a big old Glabrezu... >:}

bclarkie - Nice to meet someone else from PA. I'm right by the sparkling blue waters of Lake Erie. (hah.) Anywhere close? And secondly, I am now afraid, but yes, that's the seller I won from. I'm hoping you're just going to inform me that he was shilling, though I'm going to brace myself for having my week ruined... what's up? *looks nervous*

First the usual. Name: Spencer Age: 37 Started playing: around '76, my best friend's older brother brought a basic set back from the US after a holiday and we were hooked. Played regularly up until about 1990.
Luckily kept all my early stuff in good condition, but have massive gaps from about '87 on. Time and money have now allowed me to start filling the void.
My other main interest is reptiles and have a large number of mainly Rainbow Boas (My website is Rainbowboa.co.uk - if you are interested in that sort of thing). We also have a number of other animals parrots, sting-rays, ferrets, cats, et al, and they take my time and money, but what's left is going on D&D stuff.
If my wife ever sees my current EBay spending you will not hear from me again.
Nice to meet you all!
