Just so I know what is the value for these. I am assuming that since everyone appears to be distancing themselves at $31 they are not worth that. If that is the case then should the reported auction values in the main area be ignored?

Interestingly, the values listed on the main modules page at Page Not Found differ from those on the WG adventures page at Page Not Found

I think the former is the current price set, but looking at the latter, I can see how readers might think that the $31 price was quite a steal.  

Is the main module page the most current pricing?  That page lists an update date of         Dec 13 03 for WG4, but then the main WG adventures page lists out the 2nd printing values with dates of NM/SW: $47 (11/03), NM/SW: $73 (11/04)

Gro, I believe that the main modules pages is the most current.  As far as updates to the "common" items (rarity 1 or 2) - there hasn't been any real tracking and updating (other than darkseraphims initial data over a year ago - which was from a limited period of time).

However, I have finished making spreadsheet(s) to track common items and much more accurate data for the prices of modules, box sets, etc. should be coming soon (soon = within 3-6 months.)

You may be better off. The seller jerked me around quite a bit on those. She actually approached me asking to see if I was interested in all 8 at $19.99 apiece as I was the current high bidder. I had planned to buy all 8 and then sell them to members at cost becuase while I was leading a few people emailed me saying that if I won they would want to buy one too. Well the seller and I both agreed to the sale, but then I got an email this morning saying "well someone else has now bid on it so there is nothing I can do about it" . Anyway, Mishra is looking for interested parties as he will be able to get as may as he wants for $31.00 a pop. If anyone is interested let him know, but you count me out of that.

I tried the same thing. I contacted seller and asked, first, if all the modules were the same (hey, you never know these days). And then I asked what they would want for the xtras - could I get a break because they wouldn't be listing them or get a paypal charge - I'd send a money order for the extra copies.
I was waiting for a reply, then post here so everyone who wanted one could get it for the same price - therefore, we are not bidding each other up. I did not want to jump the gun, because I also did not want to unethically affect the actual bidding. Problem was that the seller took forever to reply and by then it had hit that $31 number.
That is not a bad price, but not good either. Probably about right (unless you consider there are 8 more available today). Either way, I am out. I am not a shrink collector and already have one in mint for my collection. Afterall, that module is not particularly hard to find in superb condition.

I ended up only taking one at that price. She told me she had a large number of bidders that would take them at that price...I had tried to get the price lowered on all of them....was hoping to get the $19.99 deal back for everyone. Were they in contact with the other bidders here after the close and are you all getting the same price or was some side deal worked out. Hope everyone can work out a better deal than $31.

Hmm... I posted the same minute at The former Non-TSR Recent Fun Finds Thread • Page 8 • Collecting General - Non TSR •  The Acaeum !

Better luck next time with this one.

Perhaps my only valuable RPG item is a copy of the first edition Call of Cthulhu set they sold with Sandy Peterson's sig. I got 2/200 because I could hop in my car and cruise directly over there to pick it up. They were a good bunch and put out great products -- it would be a shame if they're shutting their doors.

Still going strong, still based in the Bay Area, still publishing CoC.
