On an entirely different note.

And I really hate to continue to give this seller so much publicity for this item but...

There is a single bid (at the start price of $500) on this copy of the Palace of the Vampire Queen in this auction type listing.

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Yes the same seller has EXACTLY the same copy in another e-Bay auction as a BIN/Best Offer listing.

BIN being $1000...

Check the pics in BOTH listings.

Same freaking item folks!

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Is that not illegal, or against some sort of e-Bay rules?

What if someone hits the BIN at $1000, and someone else bids $1000 on the other Auction Style listing?

Maybe the seller fancies himself ... a smooth criminal.
Hee hee (high pitched) ooooOOOOO!

Alright, I know that was "bad".

http://cgi.ebay.com/White-Box-Dungeons-Dragons-OCE-3-Volume-Set-D-D-1974-/180658450018?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a10152e62

Decent looking OCE White Box Set 6th Print.

Frankensteined though, as the Seller bought the box with nothing inside.

Had the books and one of 6 pages from the reference sheet (Not the set, just one sheet) at home.

No telling if the books are 6th print based on seller description.

But with sellers description I think they are 5th or 6th prints...

Box has some issues. But still solid.

Books look very good or better with ONE reference sheet.

Bottom of that OD&D box looks like it had water damage... Maybe mildew?

Pretty nice looking set of 4th print OD&D core books, but, alas, no box:

Also missing the reference sheets.

Three books alone.

Should still get some attention.

Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe...we are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

Wasn't it Joseph Campbell who said sometimes the journey is the destination?

I thought your quest for a 4th print had been completed a while ago?

Yeah, but it was Max Weber who said the means to the end eventually become the end itself

Seller has a nice-looking 2nd print Gamma World (sans dice, and the box has an obvious single-incident dent), as well as a shrinkwrapped GW1 and GW2 in separate auctions. I'd bid on some of it, but I'm 100% tapped at the moment.
