and i thought you were just recognizing him due to his classic 70's porn moustache (or was it the coke-bottle thick glasses).

... and the cheesy in shot feet of the guy with the camera. Just curious... How many people figure it's acceptable to play D&D in your vest?

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

a little dirty? it looks to me like this OCE was formerly owned by Stilgar and was in a sandstorm or two...

Sorry to have that happen to you...

I think that the final bid was way to high....

Anyone agree, or did I miss some uber-rare item. Other than being nice copies of items, I didn't notice any first-prints...?

I think the price was high myself, but the seller did a good job with his photographs and listing presentation.

Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

~$23 per item - yeah I'd say that seems high... but if it was someone who needed all those, then getting them in one shot is pretty useful.

Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Yup, I will dissagree with you guys.

The Outdoor Geos (Any print) are worth $200 ++ and I have been informed by folks here that the cover alone is worth $50...

And all the other Geo Sets are worth $50-75 EACH.

Those four items alone get you to $350-$425 ++.

A nice TSR Mono Module is worth at least $15-20 ... MORE in NM condition.... Times ten... $150-200...

But lets lower it to just $15 each at $150 total.

VERY Conservatively at $500 so far...

The M&TAs around $15 each, for another $45.

A NM Silver Chanmail will easily cost you around $45-65++... and that one has the Lizard logo.

DM Screen in NM around $15-25+

And the other few items... well maybe another $30-$45...

$640 plusâ€¦ low end perceived value

$510 sales price with $8.37 Domestic Shippingâ€¦

Nope, not too high...

I think the buyer got a good deal and the seller did too.

Agreed. Hands-up anyone who has all those in such apparently fine condition who'd happily sell for anything much cheaper?

(snipped)

I agree with your estimate about the mono's, and the M&TA's...

But really... $200 for an Outdoor Geo set? Any set (not just a 1st print?)?

Yes, I think they are worth that much.
Was not real sure of the values for them a short time ago, but Faro and others have convinced me of the error of my ways in that regard.

See the link he posted... :lol:

They might be worth that much, but they don't always sell for that much. I auctioned one off, complete and in equal condition, less than a year ago and only got around $105. I'd guess the real (average) going rate is more like $135 - $150

*nods*. Best not to look for prices to follow logic /too/ rigorously - more like they follow previous prices, to a degree.

Ditto for M&TAs vs. Geos in general - and the latter aren't /all/ cut to pieces!

Discounting combined postage, even at $125 that's still quids in (and the wrap around is often missing), plus those are sweet monos to be "only" $15 each. The premium for quality on these does seem to be rather low by the official computation vs. the actual frequencies seen in various conditions.

I just put the first half of my Dragon magazine collection up on eBay. #7-26. All in extremely good condition.

I was surprised to see so few Dragons on eBay. Any thoughts as to why?

I used Dragons #51 and up as packing material, shredding as needed.

I doubt this has impacted the supply so much as to cause a shortage
