red_bus wrote:Hey there Paul. Thought since it was (thus far) the top price that I know of for any Cthulhu rule-set it would also be worth posting here. Oh and of course, also worth promoting a top Cthulhu site.

Record Call of Cthulhu Rules price.
Those were rare however, and when I used to hang at Yog-Sothoth - YSDC Front Page there were serious collectors w/ serious $$$

That above mentioned Ebay'er leaked my personal e-mail to either again this secret brotherhood of cash or the entire CoC scene, and these "BIG GUNS" came forward. I'm not going to exactly quote what the highest standing offer is on the table, but I will say it's staggering. More than what the entire Marsh auctions went for combined . I'm honestly sitting here writing this feeling bad. If this thing was advertised on a CoC board before the auction ended, Stephen could have more than doubled the profits. Or maybe this is just some kind of post auction scramble. I just don't know what to say . I guess I should be happy, but the taste is bittersweet. .

How all this fits together is still eluding me like one of Sandy's characters fleeing from umber hulks with a one billion gp gem. But that's another story, no? )
