** expired/removed eBay auction **

Ever since I saw the Witchfire Trilogy adventures I've been interested in the Iron Kingdoms books. I recently won a copy of the trilogy but it never arrived, this auction not only had the hardcover trilogy but all the core rulebooks in one go for a hell of a good price.

Yep, it was on Ebay. Although it is probably more 4-5 years ago now. I picked up a number of other nonTSR items from the seller at the time and didn't really know what the High Fantasy one even really was. I believe the seller was "barents1234" on Ebay.

If it was barents1234, all his stuff sold in 2006 I just looked to his FB and we were severalAcaeum members to buy from him.
But I didn't remember this book at all

So... it means that the next copy will pop up in 4-5 years

Whatever makes you think that, Jeremy? Nicely taken.

Did you already have the combat screen (signed or otherwise)? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0517656914

Ca'n't recall seeing too many of those, either.

I can vaguely recall pushing up the price of your auction to around $66 and being the second highest bidder. I probably have the auction saved around here somewhere too.

Yes. I have a NM one I picked up from a retailer in Canada a number of years ago (not signed). I don't remember the details, just that it wasn't on ebay and I found a shop with one through google searching. I contacted the shop and I believe it was the only one they had. It still had the 25 PC sheets. I put a short description of it on the wiki.

Interesting to see that some character sheets are included. The only copy I had seen was the one that TFM won.
And the recent one on ebay does not include them.

So, who won the Screen? David?

Most envious of that orange High Fantasy (never knew that existed

) I think I have a later saddle stitched one with a color cover and I lucked into a SW copy of the screen w/ character sheets. In a moment of weakness I removed the shrink though....

I feel a great disturbance in the Acaeum, as if millions of modules suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

Knew there had to be a good reason even if I was still surprised to see those (and the signed hardback) split up at relative low prices. Would've been nice if the seller had bundled those together given the history even if that might've cost them a couple of bucks.

Not sure why there was only 1 other bidder on this one but I was glad to get a copy of Inferno.
