Ye, unfortunately that's right. Peter Rice is still around, though.

This has got to be one of the strangest things I have ever purchased:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Kinda surprised I got it as cheap as I did.

That is a later printing, but $10 is very cheap. Good book!

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

Thanks to Mars I found a bunch of Deadlands (non-d20 variety) stuff which is good. Helps get that collection a-rolling much further than it had been.

Ah, the difference a few keywords make...

Last week I won this:
** expired/removed eBay auction **

It wasn't a BIN, just not advertised well, and missing good keywords.

This just ended:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

It was well advertised and had more keywords.

And a while back I stumbled across Graeme Davis selling his even more limited presentation copy for a low BIN...

Luck counts!

about 5 years ago i bought from james wallis one of the two "personal" unnumbered copies of realms of sorcery for about 51 pounds. it just goes to show you one never knows what's going to happen once an auction starts....

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Better shape than I thought it might. The corner is very crushed, and the thing is still in shrinkwrap. There is a sticker on top of the shrink (very faded) saying

Comes complete with 10 Gamescience High Impact Dice (a $10 value).

Anyone have a copy with this sticker on the outside?

My copy was open and the dice gone when I got it. I'm not surprised about the crushed corner. These boxes are very fragile - I store mine flat.

Checking the bidding I'd doubt that low BIN on an openly described lot had a chance to nap, far less become a "sleeper".

Not sure if this is a screaming deal, but $7 for a T&T box set in nice shape made me happy!

Just put in what I thought was a token bid... and ended up

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Beautiful shape. A little aging and a tiny stain on the cover, and rusty staples are the only drawbacks.

Real Nice aquisition, for a NICE price.

I had two Recent fun purchases.
No big deal as all three are common and not in the least bit unusual and I already have copies of them all, but at the prices, could not pass on them.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

FBI: Grimtooth's Traps and Traps Too for just $9.26 total...
That is counting the shipping costs!

From the same seller:
Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes for $8.99....

** expired/removed eBay auction **

So, for the two listings, with combined shipping, I will get the three books for just over $6 bucks each counting the shipping costs.
