I've posted this question over at TMP if any of you visit there.

I have a second printing D&D set.  Am currently looking for the bottom half of the box (can anyone confirm the color of that, it has been 20-30 years since I last saw it?).  I may also be looking for dice if it had them (don't remember and none of the descriptions say).

At any rate, the box top has minor rubbing on the face edges (everything was in it and it was face down).

The first book has a discolored spot about 3/8x1 inch on lower left.

Everything else is what I would say is mint - never played and stored in the closet for the last 20 or so years (prior to that it sat on the corner of a bookcase).

The values on the description page appear to be several years old, are these that rare as sale items?

Any ideas as to what it might be worth currently as is and if I find the missing lower box and dice if it came with them?

Thanks for any assistance.

By the way, I also have a third edition, second printing copy of Chainmail.  The cover is scuffed in a couple of places and there is some very minor usage of the pages.  Would it be worth putting it with the D&D set or selling separately?

If you can post pictures of the box top and booklets that would help in providing an estimate.  Of course, the value will be diminished considerably if you cannot locate the bottom, but I am sure someone here might buy it anyway.

Hiya! Thanks for those photos.

The date given is that for when the description was last updated, rather than the values last updated.

Probably still a bad time to sell: would be sticking ones neck out at much over $300, at present, judging by the last (albeit US-only) sale. It /should/ be more, but recent woodgrain sales have been "difficult".

Either/or. Together might actually help a bit whereas a stack of supplements doesn't appear to assist much for woodgrains.
(aside: just go with "third edition" as the stated 1st printing doesn't appear to exist from previous enquiries).

No dice required, btw.

There are no dice .
