I believe these are reshrinks. I have never heard of them being shrinked.

Looking closely at the Nanorien Stones, I would surmise they were reshrinked. There is some discoloration and what may be color fading but unsure if it is on the plastic or under it. It also looks like there is a crease under the shrink to the top left of the title. Impossible to tell with Beastmaker due to the yellow coloration. Regardless, they both look like very nice copies. I guess whoever wins them can take the shrinkwrap off and check for themselves.

There is no Fez II folder version. The item listed is a reshrinked copy of the regular version, missing the cover. That should be a warning sign about all of these.

I'll freely admit that I have no experience with these. I'm wondering (in sheer ignorance) if the 'folder' is like a module cover, so the seller is just using a poor choice of words.

Secondly, how common would it be for someone to sign a copy before shrink? That makes me go

FWIW, My Fez I and Nanorien Stones came shrinkwrapped, and those two regularly appear in shrink on eBay. I've not seen a shrinked Beastmaker, but I know there's a shrinked red Beastmaker in someone's collection here. The shrink on these two look identical to the shrink on my copies, so I think they are legit.

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

The shrinked coverless Fez II set off the alarm bells. I'd still like the Nanorien Stones though..............

I'll defer to Ian's experience on Nanorien Stones and Beastmaker, but I don't see how Fez II could be right as it is... unless there is some sort of prepub we don't know about.

I sold a lot of T&T items that had VERY similar number of items.

In that it had a box set and several Solo Modules too.

I got about $20 US for it.

A local member of the Acaeum won it actually.

This one might get some bids... but starting at $39.99 US seems a bit much.

It is a BIN, not auction. I think that Blue Frog Tavern is interesting in this lot. Dungeon of Bear too. It is not a wonderfull bargain, but a nice price for this kind of lot. But of course, it is possible to find it cheaper

Sorry, I missed that...
Should have looked at it using US E-Bay.
Agree that it is not rediculous and the seller does allow for offers....

Here's an unused Gamma World set, but I don't see the dice

Seller also has a Car Wars deluxe set with extra supplements, but I'm not sure of the price these go for.

This seller has a 2nd print of the Gamma World set, but not sure if it's complete with the dice, and the condition of the contents

Note the last line of the description:

"It is unclear if all the booklets contain all the pages due to the staple bindings not being intact."

I think this means that all the staples have been removed from the books - however, its not completely clear from the pictures.

That said, detailed questions follwed by equally detailed answers (and/or Pictures) would be a very good thing for anyone wishing to bid.
