I laughed... hard.

I was interested up to about $25-30, and I really love Pendragon. It's always nice to lose by a mile.

Wow ! I picked up the contributor's edition which is even more rare for 160 euro including shipping.

The gold star editions are nice, but yes, $300 to $450 is a way more realistic price.

Or possibly less, considering he lost the special brown paper wrapper.

That is high, but it is also unpunched (for the tiles). Maybe the figured are still on sprues, too. A pretty difficult box set to find, one I shamelessly still need myself.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

At that price, I will shamelessly never get a copy.

That is nuts. A few months back I picked up a Talisman set and three of the expansion sets for about $100. I played it with the kids, but did not enjoy it. It is like playing D&D in a straightjacket with a partial lobotomy.

eBay listings

So when did these become so rare ? Or at least expensive.

The swordsman book has always been rare and expensive. That's probably a bit high for the book now but I have seen then sell for $150 in the past. $100 might be a more reasonable price now.

There are a few rare 7th Sea books that use to be great sellers - Pirate Nations when it became out of print would hit $100, Montaigne would get up to $75-$80, etc.
