Anyone notice lately that Thieves Guild has virtually disappeared from Ebay?

There are still an item or two in Badmike's store, and there is another guy's attempt at robbery for one early lot, but the flurry of Thieves Guild sales has ended.

The Thieves Guild item I still seek is (ironically) a second edition box.

And now they shall start poping up again

Still wish they'd release all of these again, but we've had that discussion before.

Is that the one by Mayfair?

Nope Gamelords.

I think Mark means the Gamelords edition. The first print of Thieves Guild I was loose leaf sheets. The second print was a boxed set.

Is there any difference between the two editions besides the looseleaf and a box? Thanks.

Yes, I wasn't paying close enough attention and mistakenly thought he was referring to Thieves' World (not Guild).

That's what I get not reading the title of the thread. :roll:

Don't recall any major differences, but don't have time atm to get them out and check.

IIRC the rules were cleaned up in TG 2e, but I can't give any specifics.

On the publishing front, I sent Tadashi my 1st edition, 1st printing of Thieves Guild (sans price on the cover), and he was thinking about reprinting it for awhile, but it sounds like he's not planning any publications next year (unless it's the Different Worlds CD archive).

If anyone's still interested in Gamelords reprints, do please email him so that he'll have a sense of interest in the marketplace....

This year, I ran my own version of Thieves Guild #3 The Duke's Dress Ball using the 3.5 D&D rules. Lots of fun.

Well, shaking the Thieves Guild tree did cause a few more to land on Ebay. One dude even piled together all of his Thieves Guild stock and sold it at about half value.

Another guy has four different Thieves Guild modules posted at the moment....at about 2.5 times the price they are available directly from Tadashi at Different Worlds.

Maybe there will be someone else out there who wants to post a 2nd Edition Thieves Guild boxed set. :wink:

Wow...I mean...someone who started at a reasonably low price on a 2nd Edition Thieves Guild boxed set could probably get a lot of bidders...it could go in the hundreds!.

Yes.

Wow...did anyone see that recent auction for a 2nd Edition Thieves Guild boxed set?

Too bad it was in shrinkwrap!

Does anyone have a non-shrink copy?

Yeah, and actually mine may have been in SW when I got it, but that was years ago.

What does it look like? I think I have one.

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

Well...it says Thieves Guild on the cover of a boxed set.

I don't want one in shrinkwrap....it artificially drives the price up and I cannot look at the contents without damaging a piece of game history. :roll:

What I am looking for is a slightly ratty box that will sell for a reasonable price specifically because the collectors don't want it as badly.
