I got mine for around $20.00.

Here ya go.

The 2nd Edition box set, sans the box itself.

Starting at $19.99, BIN of $29.99

Much lower price than the ones mentioned above and (I think) the set includes all but the box itself.

Hold out for the box. That is a $20 item, period.

Idiot.

Wow, I've been putting off listing a ton of Traveller stuff because I didn't think there was any money in it. Just goes to show, you never know.

Remember, price asked is not price sold for...

I'm new to looking at Traveller stuff, but I assume this lot is more like a $40 purchase.

The seller would be lucky to get that.

A bunch of adventures like this doesn't come along too often.

Yes, this is a correct statement. Most of the Traveller adventures I see only have one price tag on them. These are of the "three tag" variety. :roll:

There are price labels on most of them (it will make you weep when you see how little I got them for).

I doubt anyone will ever weep or even see those prices.
The pictures are not clear enough and NO ONE is going to buy them even at his low starting price of just $16.88 per book. :lol:

Thought it was an ended auction for some reason. Price stickers on the front covers usually bump the value up a bit. These have two stickers per book, so maybe it's not too unrealistic.

Really? I personally would much rather have a sticker-free book. Unless the sticker was from the Dungeon Hobby Shop or the Armory in Baltimore or something.

If you are looking at Traveller stuff, you should check out Crazy Egor. I think he still has a number of books that he regularly sells for $1 each.

Looking is the operative word. As in, "For now, I'm just looking as I consider whether adding another 35 year old line to my want list is a terrible idea or just a bad idea."

I still think it's the best all in one RPG book ever, but this is a bit much:

I'll assume the extra 1 is a typo... :roll:
