If it was less, I'd tell him mine was bigger and could he please not bid. But in the end, I figured the best bet is to throw the dice and let them land where they will.

The books are in very fine (near mint, if I hadn't rubber-stamped my name on the covers), but the box is poor to good (it's at least still a box). Am I looking at a 50% hit for a bad box?I also have a very fine (IMHO) true first edition Greyhawk.

This one was a third print with a rather poor box.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5927928868
If another very nice T1st Greyhawk comes up, would have expected at least three people to be bidding $150+.
That's an early date to have started, btw!
Do you have a stapled rather than spiral-bound Chainmail as well, in that case? Those early third editions tend to be worth rather more than the "average" figure quoted.

You will most likely get offers from folks right here even before you decide whether or not to list any of them on E-Bay. After all, many of those who collect older D&D items lurk in these same dungeon cooridors.....

Here is a T1st in about said condition that just went on EBay a couple of weeks ago: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... 0&rd=1 Now this is probably a little bit high because the seller(burnie) is a very well known, very reputable and well respected seller, so folks are willing to spend a little more because of the trust factor. Hope that helps.
