Did you miss out on the
RJK auction melee and come away empty handed?
Are you upset that you STILL have the kid's college tuition in hand instead of some artifacts and relics from the recent auctions (besides, who needs college, let them get a job at 18 like you did and someday maybe they too will be handing over money for D&D stuff like you are now..)
Is your wife or girlfriend so happy you came out with no wins from the Collectors Trove auctions she's throwing an Oprah watching party for her girlfriends with white wine and veggies, and you're so depressed you can't get out of the easy chair to avoid it?
Could you think of nothing closer to heaven than to invest over $3000 in a piece of notepaper with Rob Kuntz's fast food take out order on one side and a badly drawn map on the other? (KIDDING!!!!!
)
Well, in that case, sorry, I don't have shite for you guvnor (as my UK friends would say). However, I do have some excellent collectibles from the 1st era of D&D that a just starting out collector (or even an established one that doesn't have a month's salary to blow!) can afford. Starting this Saturday, I'll be listing several hard to find items from Aneoth's collection (items he discarded after becoming Buddhist and renouncing all material possessions...again, KIDDING) and a few from my personal stash, all in the upper tier of D&D collectibles. Some of the items I'll offer included
H1,
H2,
H3, H4;
RPGA1,
RPGA3, RPGA4; R1-4 (with
R2 and
R3 being in the original shrinkwrap!!!!); 1st printings of Blackmoor, Elrdritch Wizardry, Gods Demigods & Heroes; 4th minus white boxed set,
OCE set with a set of supplements; Dungeons & Dragons Hex sheets (
GW 1978) and Dungeons & DRagons Floor Plans (GW1979) complete and with the original covers; early (some 1st) printings of
PHB,
DMG and MM; Deities & Demigods w/Cthulhu; Bio 1; A Jade Hare (no, you don't have to buy every basic D&D set on Ebay and hope you come up with one!!!!) and other goodies as I find them.
The best part is, I'll have Buy It Now on everything! No waiting for Improv or Invincible to snipe you at the last second and leave you banging your head on your monitor...if you really want it, it will be yours!
Bookmark my Ebay store and check back every Saturday; I'll will also be posting here what I am listing that weekend. Any Acaeum member is free to make an offer on anything here that is not already listed but please be realistic, prices will be at or above what the item has been selling on ebay for the last 6 months or so. Most of the items are in exceptional condition also...Inquiries of "How much for everything" don't even bother, everything I mentioned is $3000 and what a bargain that is, an instant D&D collection with collectibles out the wazoo!!! I'll even ship it for free...heck, if you are close to Texas I'll DRIVE it to your place, just pay for the gasoline there and have the beer cooling when I arrive, cash money order or check please, I don't want to finance Paypal's latest investment venture with my capital! I'm serious about that!
In other offers, I want at least $300 BIN for the
SW R2 and
R3, if that sounds like too much think about all the "regular" copies that have sold the last year on Ebay (a handful???) and how many of those were
SW (none? Bueller? Bueller?)...it's plenty rarer than you think. In a world where a
SW Orange
B3 goes for a thousand, this may be cheap in a couple of years...
Well, anyway, hope these can all go to good homes and thanks for listening, good luck!
