If he'd just gone for a single listing at $9.99 it would probabably have gone for over $80.Anyone got a spare DCC #3.5 for sale?
No kidding. Anyone have one, period? I haven't seen one on Ebay in awhile. No telling what one would go for in an open auction at this point....!

Badmike wrote:I would tend to agree (obviously). My floating the prices in the $125, $100 and $75 range brought nothing, while a lowering to $50 brought an immediate sale. So I think the price (for the present) is pretty much set at that amount. Mike B.

As it is I would have felt bad losing it to someone else for $50 while waiting to save a further $10-$20. It has some extra content over the 3.5E version, making it interesting to have if you buy DCC modules. So that was the real draw for getting it, not the current scarcity, the printing, or the 1E conversion.I only have a very limited amount of copies...and they aren't going to go below $50, I think that's the accepted amount at this point. The limited editions aren't getting any less limited!!!The DCC 20.5 is a different story ...I don't have that one either and saw the auction. But I refrained from bidding as I've heard several people say the module is not very good story wise. That and the seller listed a DCC 12.5 as "rare" when it was only the common 3.5E version. Little things like that and his $200 BIN just rubbed me the wrong way on a module that I am already not enthusiastic about getting.Well, it's not a good module. You might be able to find it someday cheaper.I agree DCC 3.5 is the one to look for ...it's got the Otis cover, the Arneson story, and as far as i know no one has a stash of them waiting to sell. I'd prefer waiting for one of those to come up, instead hitting a $200 BIN for a 20.5. DCC 17.5 is a close 2nd, as it has some tie in with DCC 17, which is a good story in it's own right. I'd value those two as worth getting at collector's prices, while 12.5 1E and 20.5 I'd be willing to wait a bit for.Cheers!

mbassoc2003 wrote:Three print runs total that I know of at present....1st printing with incorrect numbering rushed out for GenCon (about 60 copies)2 different versions of the 2nd Printing. Corrected numbering on the maps. Between the two '2nd printings' there appears to be no difference at all in the content that I can decern. However, there is about a quarter inch difference in the height between the two, and a difference in the colour saturation tone of the blue in the map. Clearly this is not a difference just in the map cover though, as the books also differ in height. Presumably Goodman games ordered X quantity from the printer and to fulfil the order, the printer used two separate machines with differenced in the cut height and the colour calibration between the two presses. As both the '2nd printings' come from very reputable sources, there is no doubt of their authenticity. But also no way of saying which copy preceeds which other without GG commenting on the difference.
