Nice purchase on the Silverdawn material, and a good price too considering how rarely they show up.  

Of the three new targets you listed, I've owned all three at one time or another and think Tombs of Valla is the best read.

Tales of Terror rockets into Courting Madness territory:

$305 @  
** expired/removed eBay auction **




With More Tales of Terror hitting $202.50!:  
** expired/removed eBay auction **




Previously, the only Pagan title I remember hitting $300+ was Courting Madness---even Stark Raving Mad and the player aid kits haven't breached $200 before to my recollection, much less the ToT books (which were usually in the $100-ish range).

Weird!



I guess that final prices for most of items were so high because of the numerous CoC collector items offered by this seller. I am pretty sur that the next one will go under $100. Few weeks ago Tales of Terror sold for less than $50. I got mine 2-3 months ago for 43$.

I am tempted to list mine at $280 BIN... Just to see.

That's about what I was ready to bid, and then these shot right on past!

I agree.  This was a pretty large collection, and well advertised on several forums.

Do you have a link for the $50 ToT?  I missed it and I want to see if I can figure out why.


Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

Unfortunately, the listing is removed (too old). It is older than what I was thinking. The time is running too fast :/ 1 year ago:

Call of Cthulhu Tales of Terror The Unspeakable Oath (#110440744840)

I bought Eyes only vol 1 from the same US seller and got both for 54€ including shipping.

RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

I finally picked up a copy of Haalkitaine over the weekend, and am looking forward to digging into it further.  Thanks for the tip, Bill!---it'll certainly feature in my upcoming blog post on using Non-TSR cities sourcebooks in the World of Greyhawk.  

Also:  in case you (or other folks) weren't aware, Haalkitaine is being revised and expanded by Terry Amthor.  Updates on the ICE boards @ ICE News and Discussion with the Sept 2019 news being:

Shadow World

We are still awaiting the RMSS stats for Terry's mini-adventure. Terry is continuing with his work on Haalkitaine, and is currently focused on the new adventures for the enhanced edition. On the side, he is scribbling notes for Emer IV.

Priest-King of Shade is also in the editing queue.

No Frank, his post was from 2013. I was the 2nd high bidder. I rue the loss still. Sigh.

I have a feeling you'll be first for it someday, Allan.
I don't have a top 5 anymore, since I'm out of collecting, but there are several things I used to have that I would love to USE now. Some of them I never got a chance to read through, like Beasts, Men and Gods.
