To my surprise the auction went to a re-seller within minutes of being listed, was it that low of a buy out?  Or did I miss something  :?

Reselling this junk will not be easy for that guy, I really wanted it to go to a AD&D player.


That's a fun little lot, Jeff, I'd have bought those just to have extra play copies for that price. $150-$200 is about right, depending on the damage and wear, but they look ok from the pic.

Yes this is the start (I hope :) ) of my purge of excess RPG stuff, I have around 50 magazine boxes of "stuff" I have accumilated over that last number of years that are extras, (for example 6 low grade copies of TOEE).  I got this stuff by buying up local Kijiji lots and trades with other local collectors.  Thing is I am so busy these days it is hard to organize it all and list; I wish there was a local dealer for for RPG's then I would just unload it all at once.

This is the first of the really low grade stuff, there is some nice things in my extras pile but those will go last and I will let the Acaeum community get first dibs on anything I would consider collectable grade.

I cant wait to have my sorting room back :)

What might have limited your sale, is postage across the border.

I have to really want something to pay the extra postage that Canadians get charged to ship items...

The lot was free shipping to Canada and the US.  With that in mind, I think it was a bit low.  Even a rough copy of ToEE is not a difficult sell at $45ish + shipping.  A number of your "rough stuff" doesn't look too bad at all either.

That was a good deal, especially with free shipping.  Might have gone for 200-250 to the right person looking for an instant playing collection.

Don't worry it was pretty rough, I am surprised to hear that about ToEE though, it is not an uncommen item at all

Really? Expecting $150 for this? If all first prints, perhaps.

Must be the uber-rare freebie dice.


According to the listing, these are 2nd edition books. That's why they're so rare and costly...

Seriously? Over 70$ for this module/accessory? That is ridiculous even if it is coming from the other side of the world. Sale ends soon though so better jump on it while its hot!  
** expired/removed eBay auction **
Speaking of which, I occasionally browse Amazon too, you never know what you will find, but what is with this group of sellers (like anybook, etc) that sell things for insane prices? Has anyone noticed this trend? It blows my mind the price people think they can get. I'm scared if people actually pay it. Ill never have a full collection of anything! lol

LOL. I'd love to see the guys face when I demanded a refund just because, and Ebay backs me up, no movie making magic necessary.

Great! Read a little between the lines and you have a seller who has probably been bent over by asshat buyers and he got the big screw you from eBay when he asked for help. So I agree he is ridiculous with his video line, you can see he is frustrated. Go eBay.


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

The sky apparently is the limit. First $35 a few weeks back, then another seller at $50, now the new top of the leaderboard; get 'em now for the cheap, introductory rate of $100... EACH!


** expired/removed eBay auction **


At least this one is taking offers. Just how serious is the question.

Seem to be decent shape.  I'd offer $75 just for giggles if I didn't already have like 3 of each in pristine condition just to aggravate him.

Who does the seller think would spend that much without an itemized list and only two small grainy misoriented pictures to try to go by?

Looks to be mostly 2nd edition. Ugh.

When your key pictures are of "Complete" books, it does not make for an exciting offer.

At least he's donating all the proceeds to charity...
