Not necessarily silly! That price is insane. A couple of these have sold recently in Australi for $30 to $40. I don't think I've ever seen it go for over $60. $150 is crazy.

Take a look at who the other bidder was. Jayhoelinc is starting to remind me a lot of a couple of other resellers who thought they could buy up everything in a particular genre and sell it for ten times its actual going rate.

This definitely makes up for the shitty weekend I had. :batman:

Heres one:

Then of course there is this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/DARK-TOWER-GAME-MIL ... dZViewItem

Which features yet another genius who charges $250+ in Handling fees. Must be an attorney charging for his time. :roll:

Was a time when the Central Casting books were going for a lot, not sure if that holds true today.

I know what you are talking about, but still not $125 high, more like $50 or $60 high.

Actually, they have decreased in price considerably the last 12 months and I have seen the last few sold go for less than $25 each.

I am guessing that the seller probably looked on ebay before pricing and found this one:

Its been up for a long time. The last Central Castings influx of price I think was a acaeum hype thing that has settled back down now.

Not really an auction, but I was poking about abebooks.com, just for fun, and I stumbled upon a Steading of the Hill Giant listed for the low-low price of $1275. I think I'll buy 50 at that price...

What the hell?

$30 for the three original Traveller rulebooks...and no box? Gotta love this bit of BS in the description:

It is very rare to find all three books together in such great shape.

Whatever...

Booty went high? Hell no. His two Lairs went for under 100, which was astounding.

Booty used to be one of those books that would sell for $200+. Noble Knight sold their last 2 copies for $250. I think Wayne sold a copy out of his store for $250 as well. But there has really been a rash of them on Ebay lately - at least 4 them in varying price ranges but as low as $70. Calithena also sold one recently too.

The Lairs did go fairly cheap and the Demons and Notmen sold for around what I thought it would <shakes fist at Lance again>

- The Lairs did go fairly cheap
checked records and both back at 2003-2004 prices before hype. only 2 or 3 people competing since??
happy that new winners for both - no finoreddrale or other person hoarding multiples except to protect stock prices
