Thanks for the congrats, Bom and Mars...

I have a copy of The World of Silverdawn without a map and also have Society of Sorcery and Search for the Lost City.

Have to keep a lookout for Plateau...

You picked up Plateau as well:

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Its the one I didn't bid on since I had already it.

On another note, I just noticed that Abebooks has World of Silverdawn, High Ranger Guard, Society of Sorcery and Village of Peddler's Ferry for $5 each - I guess I should say had

Here's hoping WoS comes with a map. Is it a separate foldout map that comes inside the book?

Holy crapola! Nice score, man!

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

To the first, D'oh... :oops:

I should keep better track of my stuff....and the stuff I win...

To the second (at Abebooks)...

...nice haul (what Frank said)...bookmarked it...

To the third, I would think it is a separate foldout map (looking at my copy sans map) since there does not appear to be any place that the map looks to be attached to.

Nice find! I seem to recall seeing either another copy of this or one that looks similar a few years ago but I don't recall the details. Nice pick up though.

Agreed. I thought I saw one a while ago as well. Wasn't it Frank who sold one?

I don't think Frank sold it - I would probably remember bidding on it. He might have pointed it out here after the auction though.

I recall that cover. Don't know if I ever had one. It probably had a small print run like a lot of the knockoff stuff.
In this case, I'd say deshrink the thing and see what it is all about. I imagine the non-TSR collectors wold rather be able to look at it.

I'd take it out of shrink too. Let us know how it is.

I have never been very lucky finding really great BIN's but this one was a steal.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

My Ebay budget for next month is toast though.

Nice buy! If in good condition, there is $250+ worth of MERP stuff there.

Don't I know it! But apparently I am not quite as lucky as I thought. I got an email from the seller a bit after I won the auction. He stated that some of the maps were missing and he forgot to include it in the auction description.

He said that he would have no problem voiding the auction if I didnt want them or I could go through with the transaction and he would give me a discount and some freebies. I dont ever plan on reselling these so it isnt a big problem for me if a few of the maps are not included so I went ahead and took the offer.

A little disappointed but I still think it is a heck of a deal considering that most of these books never sell for less than $50 and two or three of them are easily $100 books on Ebay.

Now my next question: Who here owns The Shire and Dol Guldur and wouldnt mind emailing me scans of their maps?

Depends upon your situation, but I would go for the discount plus freebies. I am happy to supply map scans, but both books are (a) packed away and (b) I don't have a scanner. I could dig them out and scan them on a mate's scanner, but will take a week or two - so someone else here might be able to help more quickly. Or better yet someone in the US could send you colour copies for a small price. :wink:

Yes. That is a good buy. The MERP stuff seems to be having a resurgence in price again. I saw a Dol Guldur alone go for over US$75 recently.

These came in the mail today. There is some staining on the covers but the World of Silverdawn also came with the map so I'm pretty happy

That and the price was right.

I was really wary when bidding on this lot, as the Seller had won them a week earlier and decided to sell them again. It turned out he didn't like the games as they were too complicated.

I got this whole lot for AUD$110 and was shocked to find that they are all well cared for and 100% complete. The lot had a SPI War of the Rings, an ICE Battle of the Five Armies, and some excellent Avalon Hill titles including Merchant of Venus.
