I hope you don't mind me making a thread of this tdewey!



That was an interesting lot of auctions our friend tdewey just ran. A lot of them seemed to be price records. For example:



Wraith Overlord - $54.71

Pegasus 2 - $25.00

2nd print, Revised City State - $80.00

1st print, Wilderlands of the Fantastic Reaches - $92.99!



and more



Was this just a noob phenomenon or are we starting to see Judges Guild making its mark as a collectible?

Do you think this subweb is playing a part is drawing people's attention to JG as a collectible?

i think its just cool to see that some of the JG stuff is becoming a known collectable item.

That was a really great auction

There seems to be a definite upturn. great news for all you muckers holding stock; Al et alt.

I'm sure the site has had an impact. I'd need to check but a few of the recent auctions have very quickly moved up to the site value before creeping up later.

On the flip side there are still a few absolute bargains out there.

That is a good point. I have noticed that. A lot more Sellers are listing JG stuff correctly and linking to the Acaeum. The downside of this of course is it is going to be harder to find those bargains where the Seller doesn't know what they are listing!!!

But I also feel that the subweb is bringing a lot more attention and respectability to JG

I can tell you the reason behind the "Wraith Overlord" price.  I am going in for back surgery in early November and I will be layed up for 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.  So I placed a bid the would not lose as I wish to have this mod to read during my recovery.

Do you guys believe the bid is out of line?  Be honest.  I do not know.  I've seen this mod go in the 40's.  

Cannot wait to get it.

Thanks
Martin

Is a good price for an uncommon item.

I dont want to be seen as "Mr. Negativity" but IMHO, some of these prices seem to be an abberation.  Specifically with the Wilderlands and the Revised City State.  Several of those auctions were bid up by a couple of very new Ebay members including dragonesque1.   I didnt think the Wraith Overlord price was excessive but Prufrock is on some serious medication.  



Regardless of anything else, the price on the Revised CSIO was freakishly high.  I just won this one back in July for $29:

The pictures are gone but suffice to say it was very minty.



Maybe I am just being whiny because it has gotten very difficult to get some of the more popular Judges Guild items lately.  Tegel Manor has traditionally been one of the higher priced modules but the auction prices have been skyrocketing lately.  I honestly blame the "shrew encounter" for the higher than normal Tegel prices over the last two months.  Every Tegel auction I have seen lately has the same four or five Acaeum members bidding the price up along with a handful of non-Acaeum members in the mix.  Probably so they can run the module for their group and have their own "shrewfest".  



If this goes for more than $10...I will shoot someone...with a potato bazooka....I swear.

Yes, KingofPain, I am on some serious Meds and should probably stop bidding on auctions, driving, and dancing with the big hairy spiders that talk to me at night.

So you're the one that's been dancing with my spider -- I knew she was seeing somebody else!
That's what I get for dating a Tarantella!
