Oh sorry!!

I am sure you will pick up another one soon. If it is any consolation, congrats for that that 20th anniversary edition from the same seller, you did very well indeed - at probably the lowest price I have ever seen one go for

I'll probably live, just. Nice win, looks like it's in top nick! The signed BTMOM went for cheaper than list price too! What's up with that? Maybe it wasn't the best time to be auctioning off this sort of stuff - all the floating cash has probably gone to Homebase and B&Q.

I reckon so - what with the sales and people's horrified realisations as to their credit card bills.

I have some Cthulhu to sell off, but will probably wait a week or two.

Finally got my hands on a copy of Credo, and for less than I've seen the past couple of copies go.

Now to inflict this on my friends once it arrives. :twisted:

Realms of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned

Finally got one. Had to spend a little more than I wanted to, but that's OK since I've wanted one for quite some time. At least I can stop looking... unless one of you fine folk have the UK release with the green sleeve...

Good buy! I sold my copy for about $200 several years ago; for some reason the price seems to be falling, but it's still hard to find and a very cool looking book. Hard to find a copy without some spine problems.

I got one of them from a guy who answered my ad in a local paper - IIRC it was 4 or 5 WH40K codexes, a couple of dozen plastic high elves and 4 or 5 PHBR books + the Lost and the Damned - £15 cash - LOVELY

(and he was so pleased he has phoned me a couple of times since selling other stuff he has found in charity shops etc - I just asked him to keep me in mind if he came across any other stuff!)

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

(It was a couple of years ago now but I BINed it for about £45 - I do remember that it didn't last half an hour though)

Great book, the better of the two (other one is slaves to darkness)

I agree. I did get a Slaves to Darkness first, from BeyondTheBreach, at a very nice price.

So, that was already covered.

In other news, I won this lot which, superficially, isn't that impressive perhaps... but, if that red book is what its been described as being... muahahaha.

The Ysgarth books come with a wraparound cover, Loki. You might want to ask the seller if he has it. Probably not, but it can't hurt.

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

Thanks for the note, I will ask him. I am not very aware about Ysgarth books. I was thinking they were in a box, and Mars told me that boxes are very hard to get for Ysgarth stuff

Mars wrote:Boxes are quite rare for Ragnarok stuff (I don't have one yet either). "Missing" is a bad word to use for boxes with Ragnarok stuff. At one point Ragnarok bought a bunch of boxes and if you bought stuff during that time, you probably got it in a box - adventures, rules, other games, etc. When they ran out, they didn't get any more - probably too expensive. All of the Ragnarok items that were sold in a box were also sold without the box.

Damn, I'd have jumped all over that, had I been looking.. but, alas, this last week has not been a joyous one for me, though I did get a pretty good run of DA modules.

I found a copy of Lion Rampant's The Tempest for 2nd edition Ars Magica in the clearance bin at the gaming store I normally don't visit (as their stock doesn't usually have any variety).

Not in perfect condition, but still excellent -- and $4 is fine by me, given that the only copies on eBay are $25-$30 + shipping.

Ummm . . . are the Lion Rampant Ars Magica items actually worth more than a few bucks? Crap, I kept passing them up at HPB.
