I won a bunch of early Dungeoneers last week:



Vol 1 #1:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 1 #2:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 1 #2:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 1 #3:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 1 #4:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 1 #5:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 1 #5:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




Vol 2 #1 issue #7:


** expired/removed eBay auction **




I kinda thought there would be a bit more interest in these.  By the looks of them they are later prints but aren't they still hard to find?  Or is there something else that I am missing?  In any case, it fills a hole in my Dungeoneers so I am happy.

Those are damn good prices.  Interest can be had for cheaper with #73 (the compendium).  They are hard to find, but think they don't get much attention on here due to those that have been looking for them either don't announce or already have them.

That is an excpetionally fine win (envy. envy). Last time they came up in Australia, I bid $60 apiece for the first four issues and was outbid on every auction.

I think 'lack of interest' may be due to changes in Ebay's search engine. If I am logged into Ebay Australia, auctions that are 'US only' do not even turn up in my search list. I have checked this by logging into Ebay USA and doing searches and then doing worldwide searches from Ebay Australia. I can't understand why more Ebay Sellers aren't up in arms over this or perhaps Ebay have done it on the sly.

I was reasonably happy to get this for $10 as it was the first one I had seen:

I forgot to bid...  Although having said that, I probably would not have gone much over what it sold for.

Nice looking book at a decent price.

The only JG catalogue that I see coming up by itself on a regular basis is the Portly Pomp from 1982.

I also had a bid on it.
Lower than the final obviously, and watched it till near the end.
Almost bid at the last minute, but decide to pass.
Might regret it later, but I still have my 45-50 bucks for something else....

One that got away actually.

lordnightdavid (Is he a member?) won the auction.




** expired/removed eBay auction **




In the center bottom row.



A first Print Temple of Ra Accursed by Set (See the Stock number in the lower left corner, in the second print the number is inside a yellow box at the lower right corner front cover).

It is a tuff to find Judges Guild adventure book.

And just above that one and one book to the left, is an early print of the Under the Storm Giant's Castle, which I also do not have, though it is easier to find than the Temple of Ra book is.



The rest of it I cared little for, though some of the TSR modules I do not have (Yet for some reason I have about 7 X1's.....)



I bid till it got beyond what I wanted to pay just for The Temple of Ra and the Giants Castle books and then I stopped.

If I was a re-seller with good shop and had sone experience, I would have gone further, but even so, at $4.96 per book (Counting SH), I do not see a re-seller making a huge profit from the lot purchase either.



Still the winner has a nice First Print of The Temple of Ra now, plus some other goodies.

anny - the storm giant castle one comes up fairly often. if you hang on, you will spot one on its own, trust me.

same for the temple of ra. i have seem them often enough, to feel they are not rare, but maybe uncommon.

yup I have seen the Castle book several times before and have never really tried to chase it down either, but have only seen the Temple of Ra once before (Not that I was looking all the time).

Kinda wanted that one, but I was not willing to shell out $65 or so to beat out a Knight for it. 8O

Missed a World Emperor today for $10 but snagged an Invicible Overlord.

The auction stated that the World Emperor was incomplete but it not only looked complete to me but seemed to have an extra map.

Ah well, close enough to see it listed, but not to catch the buy it now.
