Being the seller, this looked like the perfect scenario. Alas, the last bid was a mistake and I cancelled the auction...
So, just to set everyone records straight, NO expert box set was sold for 200 euros (be sure I regret it :wink:

)

Certainly not one of mine, at least.
A minty triple-autographed Moldvay-Cook-Marsh might bring that.

But then, Cook & Marsh will be at NorTex 2012.
Bring your old Expert sets and pens. ;>

The phrase, "Pics, or it didn't happen." seems appropriate here.

Even if this was a confirmed mint TRUE FIRST print PHB, I would never bid that much without plenty of quality pictures and a description worthy of being called a description.

If Gary was in the building at the time that was printed and Collectors Trove lists it on Ebay thats a $1900 dollar item. $372 is a massive discount man.

I can't believe this guy has managed to run a store for 23 years. From brief emails he's an asshat to deal with.

And the seller won't post pictures of what they are selling? It's a BS listing, or a BS seller, or maybe both.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.
