I think it was a noteworthy post. The first print Otus cover is not exactly common, though the Expert book is much more difficult to find.

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

Really. Are they worth much? I've gout four or five of each in mint condition. Always thought they were worthless. It's where I started my collection way back in 2004.

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

I have a first print Expert set... it wasn't expensive. BUT if you have any with the "true first print" earlier "chipboard" style box then I'm interested

Here's a distinction I posted on ToT (although it's a basic, I've seen one expert with this style box)

(left to right: TIP-ON-CHIPBOARD VS. DIRECT-TO-BOARD)

They are really common, maybe worth $1-2

I'd say too much, but hey, if it's what you were looking for at the time you needed it then that's what matters.

I don't recall seeing this coming up very often.

It's a record called Quest of the Riddles.

This isn't working for me - even when I got ebay.com.au. Do you have a link to the auction?

Yeah, there's a problem with the way the link pasted. There are two "spectacular!"s in the seller's id. Here's one of the auctions:

Bah....nothing like a zero feedback bidder to muck up the auction.

Woulda paid too much for it anyways. Pretty sure the last few of these havent gone for quite this much. Also kind of surprised that the Fast Rules only went for @$30. But I guess with lofenloc not bidding since he already has them the prices are staying south of $50. :wink:

Saw one in very good condition go for less than $35 just a few months back. IIRC, Grodog won another one for about the same price. Dont recall seeing any C&R's go for anywhere near $100 in a couple of years unless lofenloc bid on it.

Boot Hill, Guidon DGUTS, and Hardtack more likely to hit close to $100.

sure depends on how many look at how listed + advertisting. ask gro about prices before his gk + wizard wins not just lofenloc

could also point boot hill guidon dguts + hardtack @ $40-50 as exception to $70-100++ or tricolor $125+ as exception to $30-40
under $50 was still good for c&r as is in demand more than most. $61 now + might go higher anyway ^^

I've never seen any issues of The Wizard (and what's GK?), alas, since Paul Stormberg won the two auctioned back in 2005/6 by presterjor (and those only went for $50 and $61!). I guess someone else got lucky?
