Did OCE's come shrinkwrapped? I would assume so and the yellowing under the torn spot is comforting, but would the original wrap hold up this well this long? Definately, interesting listing in my book!

Pips

I sold one on eBay personally not quite a year ago, and the final value was in the $450 range if memory serves. It also had no rips in the shrink and was as close to mint as I think a set would come. Him asking $599 is a pipe dream IMHO, especially with a tear in the shrink, but, I suppose we can see what shakes loose. Personally I don't think it will sell.

Seller zappy9 has some TSR module lots. Nothing rare, but they are grouped by module series.

Looks like Smarmy bought some shrinkwrapped modules from him recently.

Nice catch... but that was back in March 2007

From what I can remember, the modules were in great shape.

Hello Mrs. Cleaver, Theodore.

Gee, Mrs. Cleaver ... That certainly is a lovely dress.

Doesn't seem too bad a price for something this rare. Sealed, and a dutch auction too!

Interesting loophole in the buyer ID protection racket that eBay has set up. If you look at the Buyers History you will see that one of them purchased 8 of the 10 available and that this person has a Top 10000 Reviewer tag.

Click on it and you will see who the buyer was: douglaswrhea

I can't blame the guy for scarfing them up. I would do the same - any re-seller would!

If only I had the cash to do so

This seller has been sitting on from what i gather at least a few cases of these. This set of 8 that Doug just bought was relisted after being available for over 30 days, they have been there for a whole. If my math is correct with the close of this auction, that makes a total of 40 of these Core Rules 2.0 boxes now sold, with likely more to come. They have been available for awhile now.

I myself have bought quite a few. I talked to the seller earlier this year, they are sitting on a few cases at least (Sadly they are not sitting on cases of the Dragon Mag archive or Forgotten Realms map cds!!!). Nice buy though especially if like me you use this all the time and wouldn't mind a nice backup copy sitting in a safe place somewhere!

grodog: thanks for posting this. I happened to check this thread with about an hour left in the auction and snagged it for the BIN. I've been looking for a copy under $20, and used the Ebay Nov coupon. I'm glad your health isn't keeping you from the heavy lifting (ie, posting in this thread).

Actually I think it was more "medium rare" since it had some pink in it. :lol:

De nada, Zach: I almost snagged it myself a few times, but I do have at least two already, so....
