I think you're being charitable. I don't think I've ever seen a Gaslight box crack even $100 (maybe if it was in shrinkwrap, but I've never seen one), let alone approach $200.

Actually, scratch my never seen a shrinked one comment. Just noticed that that one is.

Still not worth $200, IMO though.

Be careful posting that here, innocent adventurers may think it is an alchemists unguent, which the party can apply to help them find treasure (booty) more easily.

I can't help but wonder why someone would post that in the RPG section....

Maybe its a nasty DMs accessory to give to the goody two shoes cleric, after he gets captured by a band of orcs.

(I think that was inspired by Tenacious D and the pick of destiny :twisted:

Maybe that's what the other product is for? :wink:

This nut put a bunch of Traveller items up on Ebay yesterday. This one is my favorite of the bunch:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Traveller-Grand-Sur ... dZViewItem

This is the fourth or fifth time over the past year that this guy has tried (and failed) to sell them for these outrageous prices.

When the customer is satisfied with a purchase and leaves positive feedback then we are more than happy to leave feedback in kind.

We do not leave positive feedback until the customer lets us know everything is ok by leaving us positive feedback.

Ebay policy changes. He's not getting it. :roll:

Is it my imagination or has there been an explosion of DGP recently? Remember we were talking about the 'rare' Ref's Gaming Kit, just the other day. Since then I've seen 3 more up for auction and one of them just failed to sell for £9.99 (had a hint sheet missing). Alien Vols I & II just went for under $50 each. Something going on with Traveller?

Wow. That item is so rare it's freakish. Hey everyone check it out. Let's freak together. PDT_Armataz_01_13

When an item appears on Ebay for a high price, people who have that particular item tend to throw their own copy up hoping to cash in.

It gets funny when a number of them do it, asking impossible prices because some other guy has posted a Buy-It-Now for $575.

The $575 guy generally got his price by looking at listings on Amazon.

Hi Mark, everyone best stick their White Dwarf #5 up pronto!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0246697121

Or #4

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0246696263

And another 2 copies of DGP Aliens VolII since I posted. With the prices still tumbling. I'm a bit weird I guess, I hate seeing the prices come down, kind of makes a thing less desirable. Silly I know because it's content that counts but it's a perception thing I suppose.

In any product rush...some of them caused by mention on the Acaeum...I don't aim to buy the first one. I aim to buy the fourth or fifth copy.

Once the high spenders have driven up the price, often the third, fourth or fifth sellers discover that the gold rush is over and the price drops precipitously.
