$75+ would be a lot more than you'd get over here, IMHO. (Frothing GW fans...? *erf*).

Keep an eye out for the 1978 Reaper rules on eBay (pretty chaos beastie on the cover). Only two people on BGG have the 1981 reprint - Reaper Fantasy Wargame Rules | Board Game | BoardGameGeek - and the original isn't even listed there.

(As for $525 OCEs... ).

The November '81 reprint is yellow with a chaos knight on horseback on the cover. I bought it on Tuesday for £1 in a hobbyshop in Birmingham, along with a £3 Battledroids 'mech (currently on eBay, hoping it'll hit £40) and a couple of pulp dungeons.

They had a GW Mono G2 for £4, but I didn't know if it was worth it. I'm not too up on my TSR product, so if anyone want's it, I'm sure it's still there. Wayward Forge, Fletchers Walk, Birmingham.

So is the Reaper Wargames Rules worth anything?

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Nice find. £16 and counting...

I don't know whether the copies on 404 Not Found at £6 (as pointed out by ???) are NOS 1981 originals or later reprints.
The 1978 version should be worth nabbing at anything under $25-30, I'd've thought. Then send it over to the ravening GW hordes at GenCon?

If in fairly decent condition, that'd be a rather good purchase.
(Alas, no longer in Sheffield, so not possible to hope over via there for a day-trip to Dudley, tomorrow).

eBay listings has a few interesting bundles; presumably people being put off by the high-ish shipping.
e.g.
** expired/removed eBay auction **
three for Pendragon at 99 cents (16 hours to go). But looky-here; 1981 GW "Spacefareres" at 99 cents with 15 hours to go;
** expired/removed eBay auction **
.
(I don't like the look of the $5 handling charge for international postage, so feel free!

The 'mech was a good buy. It's stupidly rare.

Yes. That's the Reaper Rules I bought. I don't have the card insert though.

The GW Mono G2 was in Good to Very Good condition. At £4 it might be a good but for someone.

I also picked up a Twilight 2000 Player and Referee Manual for £1 (absolutely no idea what TW2000 is like, but I though I could pop them on eBay at 99p), andand issues 1 and 2 of a magazine called Adventurer by Mersey Publishing. It looks pretty recent, but they advertise AD&D scenarios on the cover, so I figured they were worth a pound.

All in all, not a bad haul. It's a shame we don't have stores like that up in Scotland. Today I went through to Glasgow to have a look in the hobbyshops there. Nada.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Adventurer seems to crop up fairly often on ebay.co.uk but not so much on our side of the pond. Its a decent magazine and I like the UK product ads/reviews. Without digging them out, I think it only lasted 11 issues and typical sells for a pound or two - well worth it if the shipping is cheap.

Crappy non-TSR item, barely worth looking at:

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

Oh, I thought you'd found that other not-worth-looking-at one. No probs then, Frank.

I sent some Qs to the seller on that one already, Marlith: want to know if its smoky/moldy/musty smelling (it seems that whenver I fail to ask, sure enough, whatever I bought ends up arriving that way---the recent GH Wars box set which arrived today being yet-another example

I put a bid in on it. I want it for a research project and the condition does not matter that much. Unless it's some sort of rare item, consider letting me win it.

It's rare Mark, but I've been watching them for quite awhile, so you're unlikely to get it for less than the BINs are going for right now

Well, if it's going up that high I will certainly get out-bid.

If anyone has a copy in less-than-collectible-condition, let me know.
