I just saw the seller (Gold Crown Collectibles) had another module (B3) that is currently selling for $35.51  8O  :?  that is NOT signed by the author or anything special. The listing describes it as being . . . "in good condition overall. The cover shows normal wear with scuffing and stress marks at the spine.  The pages have check marks after some of the entries but are free of any highlighting. Contains all of its original maps and inserts." with about seven (7) hours left.



CHECK IT OUT (AGAIN):


** expired eBay auction **




I am no expert, but is this part of the holiday buying craze? :P ?  If so, I have an extra B1 & B3 myself that I will happily sell for half the price of these and are in just as good condition or better  :wink:


"Okay, we turn the corner and see a Purple 'WHAT' !?!" . . (the DM rolls a 20 or so he says) . . It all went black right after that.

This gentleman's auctions are being watched very carefully, and with great suspicion.   (see the Silliest Auction Price of the Year thread).  



Those prices do not in any way reflect current market value.

Myself and others suspect shilling activity with this seller's auctions. Be that as it may, expect to see many mono B1s and green B3's hit the auctions in the next few days as people react to these outrageous prices.

A lot of bidders decide: "no one values this more than I do, so I'll put my maximum bid of $100", for something that typically goes for $10. This technique works "well" in certain cases.

However, when two or more bidders think this, well, the bidding can proceed as described in the B3 auction or a lot worse. I've seen fairly cheap magazines (not role-playing ones) go for hundreds of dollars due to (I suspect) this very phenomenon.

We have seen this happen here too when Kynan and Lance go head to head. Anyone heard from IO (and his tribe) of late?


This week I've been mostly eating . . . chicken and wild rice soup.
