Yeah, I kind of know what to expect from O&W. I like the Games Workshop stuff, and am interested to see where White Dwarf originated from.

I don't remember the last D&D item I bought... it's been a while. I've been distracted by more games orientated stuff recently.

Regards

Seren Ironhand, just ended at 22.09 (I was an ambivalent 3rd highest bidder).


** expired/removed eBay auction **


Return to normal prices, or summer slump?

3rd highest. ;)

No idea how many the seller has of those, but there will probably be another up within a month or so. Minty condition, as usual. :)
Better luck next time.

(I was mostly looking for something to combine with  
** expired/removed eBay auction **
).

Neither would have gone for that cheap if my internet connection wasn't extremely slow tonight.   :x

Fast reply! I had just edited my post and was looking for this link to add to my post:
-> the one that got away....
(grodog mentioning usual price is now $50-$60)
Perhaps hamilcar obtained a huge lot of original unsold stock?

I saw that TSR worlds a few hours ago when it was at 0.99, almost posted it here but was lazy.

I sold my TSR worlds too early...I had two (picked up at Waldenbooks, I think), and in 2002 I put them in a lot with a 1988, 1989 and 1990 TSR catalog, and a hobby shop update. Sold for about $10 to Sotterano/Dungeonmaster1968. (These were my nicest, unmarked copies of the 1988/89 catalogs...)

Do my trick and bid early... then watch the snipes pile in! (Nice wins at barely $3/each, Mark ;)).

Sorry, Brian (again): and you had me within 30 cents of being maxxed out, too.

Hmm... 59 (or was that 57?)...

Prices (on Seren) can go down, as well as up.
I paid more than that current copy, a few years back. (Wouldn't have complained to pick up another with free postage for swaps, though...).

Erm, oops... :?
The trouble with selling, unfortunately...

Thanks for the pic, zhowar: yeah, is strange on perspective with those: I'd've considered the Hobby Shop catalogs to be throw aways (remembering those stacked high over here). Yet, a copy of TSR Worlds, plus the listing here = different ballgame, altogether.

It's rather hard to find TSR Worlds in the listings. (Try searching for that phrase... it's a mess.)

Tom Moldvay has mentioned to me (as recently as a month ago) that Seren Ironhand is really extremely rare, compared to his other works. Wish I'd seen that one... I'll keep a lookout (when I'm not at GenCon that is). And there was supposed to be a sequel, but everything fell apart...

You going to see him @ GenCon Frank?  Can you put me in touch?  I'd like to pick his brain on various things, especially "Treasure of the Draogn Queen" (of course).

Yes!  It was a pleasant surprize.  I have been kicking myself (well, sort of) for not snagging those Dragontree publications a year ago, when it seemed only one other guy wanted them.  Happy to get all three for just over $13 with shipping!   :)   Sometimes you win.

I think it's likely that hamilcar has a large stash.  The price has climbed for awhile, driven in part by Ian's efforts ;)   When I started looking in earnest for a copy, they were selling for $30-40-ish, and only began to climb.  Getting a copy for less than $30 is quite nice now :D

Y'might get a page an issue, on average, and possibly zero in one of the copies.


I'm wondering that actually if I'm going to fork out some $$ for them.. and I have only see 1 issue sold in the past I believe, so they should fethch some nice $$

A self-published city-state perhaps? The listing says "published independently." Seller has several of the same.

I have seen these periodically pop up for several years now, I assume it's the same seller, it does seem to be self published.
