Consider yourself a real collector? Well you need one of these :D

(Both my boys are serious skaters - the disdain they would show if I bought this does not bear contemplating!)


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

I sent some questions a few days back too but they didn't get answered either and I didn't get added to the bidder exempt list so I am guessing he doesn't want International bidders.

Me, three... There were a few listings I would have been in on...



My questions were unanswered too.  I found it odd, because his BINs, and only the BINs, were listed on ebay.ca along with international postage.



Oh well, at least I saved a bunch of money   :?


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Safe to say that his auctions didn't do as well as they could have because of it.  The HUGO is one I hadn't seen before and would have pushed up a bit and a nice looking Tradervale for $41 is a great price.

Yeah, I should have gone a little more on the Tradervale.  Oh well.

This kind of seller is not professional at all... Even if you don't want to ship overseas, you have to answer to question I think...
I would have bid much more on HUGO too...

I couldn't see any of the auctions other than the HUGO because it was the only one with a link. So there was a Tradervale too?! I'd have gone to $60-70 on that. What else was up?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Those were the biggest two items - also some Arduin and JG.

I'd have gone to maybe $75 on a sweet copy of Tradervale.
Prices are down accross the board, and in time I'd have recovered my investment. So $41 for Tradervale is a great bargain.

Mhmm... $75-100 still doesn't sound OTT unless there's a continued "flood" (unlikely) in which case holding at $50+ like, but somewhat above, Seren wouldn't surprise me at all.

Bad call on US only and lack of comms, plus no advertising here = "bargain" price, in this case.



Not a good time of year to be selling, to be honest, but even for $ prices down 20%, say, that's still a slight increase in £ terms.

Far from everything is suffering pricewise; e.g. several good, well described white boxes doing pretty well:

$230 OCE http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0405946288

$300 4th print, BIN'd in 25 minutes; http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0398414821 , then relisted with an additional fault at $25 more and BIN'd again (to Doug); http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0404892106

The first OCE you listed was in very nice shape...I haven't seen one that good in awhile.



Here's one including 3 supplements that was sold for $57USD -->  
** expired/removed eBay auction **
Sure the box is beat to hell, but the books look good + Greyhawk, Blackmoor, and Eldritch Wizardry.



5th Print for $81 -->  
** expired/removed eBay auction **
 Box is in normal "used" shape though



OCE + 4 supplements for $129 -->  
** expired/removed eBay auction **




If anything, it just continues to show things that are in VERY NICE condition continue to sell well but if you have items in lower conditions, its a bad time to sell unless its RARE. I don't know if anything has affected the price of the true RARES. As with all my posts...just my 2 cents.  :)

More a worry as to what might be lurking therein on a microscopic level given that box pic and the text description. Ironically, they'd've probably have gotten somewhere around twice as much by burning the box, airing the books and splitting into four sales with better pics.

*nods*. At least 03c there, IMHO. :)

Many non-TSR items still aren't anything like as sensitive to condition although it's a mixed bag (have seen a good number of common TSR mods in middling grades doing pretty reasonably, too).

I was listed at $250.00 starting bid with a $325.00 BIN ... I just so happened to see it and bought it for the BIN... so it wasn't BIN'ed to/for me at all

Didn't say otherwise; likewise with the original purchaser. Merely that you bought it to clarify that wasn't a newbie high price.
