however the seller have a very bad feedback rating...

(and Iron wind... but which printing?)

I'll take that, thank you very much.

Love those poorly described, mixed lots listed in the wrong category. Poor feedback helps too! (A 16000+ feedback seller like that is just taking pics and shoving the items in a package. Most negative feedback stems from non-working, broken "technology" items - books are pretty much as is, but are often a great deal on the resell.

)

Nice pick up there. I saw that when lokiwookie (would that make him part of the Sith?) posted it but I could not recall if I had dealt with them in the past and the FB scared me a bit. You have to love it but I can't understand selling books with them all stacked on top of each other. There is not even a closeup on the stack to the left. And listing them by stock number...there are probably only a handful of people that know items by stock number for a line like Chaosium has.

An interesting story on that is that after I bought that I go both the Spell Law box sets I bought and they both had the Arms Law stuff in the box as well. I am betting that happens alot or I blew good luck on that and not the lottery

Heh, heh... luck pays better on the lottery, I think, so if you have a transfer option on that, Marl...

Yup, that was the one (from one-eyed-jacques).
There is a 1st print up for sale just now at $19.99 BIN, but it is "book only" and with a few flaws at that;

** expired/removed eBay auction **
(I like the "original box is not included", when the sliced-in-two cover is shown

)

I was all set to buy it and then I read the "orders under $20 will have a $1 handling fee"....on his $19.99 BIN item. Just rubbed me the wrong way.

Now there's a name I recall. I used to frequently haunt his store in Richmond, VA. I think it used to be on Cary Street. Picked up a lot of neat items there in the days prior to eBay! I actually went through the owner's hoard of Dragon magazines and picked up quite a few for a great price. I remember that he had a fire there and some of his collection was destroyed/damaged.

Not sure if any of these are valuable of not but 77 makes it fairly old and might make it a 1st printing....again not sure if that matters with T&T. It looks to perhaps be the digest sized version.

Deathtrap Equalis(z)er.....

= UK 1st print (SGL), in this case. That matters here, for a start...

Only $15?
Had expected perhaps a bit more regardless of condition, given the rarity and the announcement.

I think you're going to hear a Martian "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh! " again, Al!

(Although, tbh, I'd already spotted the SGL Buffalo Castle (as a UK-only auction!

) in addition to the (world-wide auction ^^) SGL Deathtrap Equaliser, above/on the previous page;
=> eBay.com Item Bid History . 4th(?) time lucky, I think, in as many years... Too darned rare by half).

I thought I was going to see you at the end of this one as well David, like with the last Deathtrap Equalizer and Labyrinth

I have a nice Kandroc Keep already but wouldn't mind a playing copy too so my bid isn't very serious.

My brother now lives in Edinburgh so I have been checking out the UK auctions for the past few months and forwarding them to him so he can mule them back when he visits

He just brought back over 20 pounds of stuff for me today - I'm all giddy right now

Is the red cover Buffalo Castle more rare than other editions?

the two dungeon #1 have a cover slighlty different... it's probably a different printing number... do you know by chance what is the earliest?
