OMG! The "smallest ever" miniature, the rarest of the rare - now yours for the low, low price of $16,000.00 USD:

Looks like the halfling adventurer from RP 98-006 Dungeon Party. Can't blame a guy for trying, can you? LOL.

Let me know if this sells. I still have one. Unpainted, so it must be worth more.

I wonder what this person would say about size when he sees 6mm, or 2mm minis.

Then again, maybe that isn't too much to pay for a unique item. :roll:

I am currently selling a lot of Ral Partha Minis on ebay in which the tiny halfling is included... the Tiny Halfling was one that stood out to me... it is 1/2 as big as the normal sized minis (which seems appropriate)... It was definately the coolest in my mind.

I didn't have this version of Thieves World; I got lucky and it went too cheaply:

And then there is this one with the crummy photo and no real description going way too high:

Yes, it is an earlier version (no award winner logo on the cover), but still, that's weird.

And no clue if it is a 1st or a 2nd ed (since some 2nd ed lack the logo). Silly!

Wow. Nice price.

And, that's a crazy price for the other one!

I paid $19.95 for this set a little while ago and some said I overpaid for it!

I disagree. I think a reasonable price for this set is $15-30, so you're right in there. It is a desirable item, but Chaosium printed a lot of them for a long time, so they aren't hard to find.

And to think I let a freaking case of those all in Shrink Wrap go for pennies on the dollar a couple of years ago.
