"sheet containing pages 1/2 and 55/56 was never stapled into booklet and is just resting inside the cover, page 3 has a toner shadow along the right side of the page".

I didn't bid because of that...
Is it usually? I never read this problem on other TUO1 I saw on ebay before.

My copy doesn't have that problem.

the guy from Necromancer games has been drinking too much cough syrup.

I recently started picking up Necromancer titles and almost all of these are available for a fraction of these asking prices.

Wasn't he trying to sell these for huge prices before as well?

$450 for Wilderlands (3 copies available)

$750 for RAR

$115 for IO (7 copies)

Lots of everything it seems. Maybe this is why they went under.

$65 BIN...

I just sold a copy in NM condition for one third that... $21.50 actually a tad short of one third.

http://cgi.ebay.com/City-State-Invincib ... 2ead1d31a9

City State Book. My NM copy just sold for $36... he wants $115 BIN...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wurst-Grimtooths-Tr ... 2ead1d399e

Grimtooths traps for $115?

This dude is nutz...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wilderlands-High-Fa ... 2ead1d3a80

Umn... $450 for Wilderlandss Set?

He has three copies available!

Even though they are in SW it would not be worth even half that much.

$36 was way low for that city state. I was sorry to see it only went for that. If I still needed a copy for myself I would have jumped in.

That is pretty low, I sold my extra copy a month ago for $65. A couple others around that time sold for about $65 as well.

It is why I wondered if it was not a xeroxed copy. Even I know that Kynan is not trying to sell fake copies, but since he is not a CoC collector, perhaps he didn't find this strange.
Only a guess. I am perhaps totally wrong.

Maybe the 3rd printing had some sort of problem.

Obviously, he is not in a hurry to unload his last copies.

It could also be an extremely cheap way of advertising Necromancer games. You can still buy all of these as pdfs.

OK, everyone sell your old dice:

What's rare in this lot? The blue 30-sider? Some of the out-of-production colors?

This one is a complete stumper.

There are couple box sets I'd like to fill in with original dice... if they came up, I might pay around $5 for that. But I have absolutely no clue what is in this to cause someone to pay about double what piles of brand new dice would cost. Actually, make that a couple someones, because just one bidder can't drive the price up.

3 someones willing to bid $40 or more.. there are the blue uninked set from some early boxed set (real rough by the looks of it) another set from an old set, that orange d8 is in that set..

and that is the sum total I know about old dice.. period..

Can I interest anyone in a copy of Sea Kings of the Purple Towns? Only about 2-3 times the going rate.

Anyone? Anyone?

** expired/removed eBay auction **

In the sports memorabilia world, game-used or game-worn items typically command premium prices. Perhaps that's what this seller has in mind? "All sheets have been actually used in real game play."

Heh.
