The interior is indeed NM, the cover more like F (unmarked, but some wear on top rear and a very mild water spot at bottom front), but that's still a great price for the last OD&D book I really wanted to own.

Does anyone know what the going rate for Necromican or Beauty and the Beasts is?  I know they get up there but I don't remember seeing an auction finish.  I only remember a couple ebay auctions ending early because of a private offers.

Booty and the Magic Item Cards and the Geos are definitely much harder to find than Necromican.  Does anyone have printing info for these, by chance?  If not, I'll go dig up Erol's email and ask him.

I finally got a copy of Heroes of Legend.  It was in slightly worse condition than expected, but within the ballpark.

It was from Titan Games!

The total including Shipping and Handling was $10.65.

Howdy David....

Yeah.... I had a few of Duck Lake's items on my radar, bid on about ten, won 4. Not too unhappy with that, and I picked up two out of the three I particularly wanted to win.

Saw your activity and kept my fingers crossed you may not have noticed the Towers game. Even when I was high bidder at $70 with 9 seconds left, I knew there was a punch coming - I just hoped I could absorb it OK, but it was too much for my snipe. I've never seen one before either, but I'm sure there will be another at some stage. I've bought from Panzermeyer a few times in the past, his stuff is usually better than described and sent fast. How come you got a 2nd chance - did the high bidder drop out, or does Ken have multiples?

Speaking of such things, I had my nose broken on Saturday. Just a head clash with a team-mate in rugby, but I was knocked out for a minute or so and ended up with a very swollen lip, a black eye and a broken nose. Not too bad - its still relatively straight and I can breathe OK so it could have been much worse.

Well done! Had me eye on all things Zocchi for a start, but wasn't keen to bid high since they came before the Nuclear War...

Was a choice between that and the Geos. *waves to Allan*

Mike Kuo had two (and zero LORE Bo5As), but he edited out the price on his sale thread so I had to guess...

He "found" another one.

Was a few cents shy on a largely unpunched copy at $69 three months ago (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8791867760), so $80 for punched is hardly a bargain in that context.
But I'll take it, given that must be about the 15th attempt! These are not as rare as some people might have us believe.

And to those who were comparing w/American Football, earlier.

Hoping that mends OK (at least you'll have ongoing medical attention given that it /was/ a break) and that the pain's manageable.

Yeah; could've been worse, I guess. My father lost two people out of his year at school: one playing rugby, one playing cricket. Dangerous sport: stick to playing with big kitties and stuff like that, IMHO.

Take care,
David.

What, me, like geos?

What are these Duck Lake items you and Mike are talking about???

Ah, thanks:  I did see the Star Probe.

Check out this lot:


** expired/removed eBay auction **


The price was not bad, and the "reprints" are interesting.  They aren't just photcopies from the machine down at the Food Mart.  These copies were made and bound at a professional copying service.

Also, the copies of The Compleat Adventurer are not copies of the first edition included with the lot.  They are copies of an entirely different print run...with a black border on the cover and a different back inside cover...advertising later Bard Games prodcuts.

Also, both the first edition and the copies show signs of having been used (small stains, tiny marks, etc) These copies were not cheap...at maybe five cents a page, plus the covers and the binding, these copies probably cost $3 to $4 to make.  This tends to indicate that they were used, and they were used by a group of people...otherwise why multiple copies?

I knew lots of gamers who acquired non-TSR products to add the ideas to their D&D games.  But I never knew any such product, outside of the three volume Arduin Grimiore, that actually got used by an entire group as a regular reference book.

I love these old game warhorses.  They always suggest a mystery and they seem to  have stories behind them.  Shrink is over-rated and "never used" is just sad.
