And people were breaking my balls when I wanted $3000 for mine in the shrink?  :?  I have to say, higher than I expected for sure.

Do not feel like you are alone.
I wanted a lot less than you did for my copy in SW when I listed it on e-Bay.
Of course my copy failed to sell on e-bay and some forum members poked fun at my listing.
That was a short time after one sold for $3050 on e-Bay (yours?).
Even so, I sold it off-line to a local collector but only because I needed the funds then, otherwise I would have kept it.
OB3 has never gotten the respect it deserves here (by many), though a few members here do respect it as a high end collectable.

I do not know why something like the British TSR Module ST1 commonly sells for that amount ($2300) and more and most feel a minty OB3 should sell for $850.
I have always felt and still do think the OB3 has fewer surviving copies than the ST1, yet very few folks agree with me (and almost no one important).
Even after this sale (above) the OB3 still has a long journey to gain true respect.

am I on drugs or is the Seller? I can't see any reason I would pay $525 for some D&D Cartoon Puzzles unless they are like ultra rare?

I would like to have the puzzles. I'll take anything D&D AD&D whatever from the 70s and 80s like that
