Interesting that WD set seems to carry the most value at present.Will be good to get it out of the way and into hands that want and appreciate it. This thread has got the nostalga pumps going though - nice to remember how blown away I was at the time when I first discovered D&D, couldn't afford it as only about 13 at the time so made up my own rules and ran a campaign with that for several months until my birthday came around.Good days....

Strewth - I have not studied closely but though if minimium starting bid and no bells and whistles it was about half that...Hmmm, oh well never mind as the WWI General said when it was pointed out to him that keeping their attached artillery in the line when they withdrew the rest of the Division to rest would result in the artillery .... wait for it.... never getting any rest.May make some private offers I have had more attractive but suspect most will still be going eBay. Thanks for the patience all.
