What the Hell? When did Dragon Mags suddenly become valuable? Did anyone read the condition on some of these? If everything was in perfect shape I could kind of see it, but 'lightly read to fair'.


I had the same pleasant experience at Gencon, selling a bunch of back-issues at the auction.

I put a minimum bid of $5.00, $10.00, and $10.00 on each lot, and picked up about $100.00 for all 3  sets... (mostly late 200's and 300's, and some best of Dragons...).


RPG’s, D&D in particular has had a major influence in my life. It’s bonded me together with life long friends...it’s that bond in life not just as friends, but in our jokes, our mannerisms, and what we find funny. Invincible Overlord

I think I've seen something about this in the forums recently but don't recall where.


These promos were given out when the Return to the Tomb of Horrors boxed set came out.  Is hard to find.  I have a copy of it - I was planning to bid on this one...  8O

And by the way, this seller goes over the top on all the descriptions - everything is SUPER ULTRA RARE and worth gazillions.  The seller is either an ex-TSR emp or lists on behalf of one, as the amount of stuff they've sold over the last couple of years is pretty incredible.

Seller is a permanent fixture on the "Shady Sellers" list, so, bid with caution.

Rhea Shelley was a huge collector in the pre-2000 era.  He pretty much had "one of everything" and quite a massive collection at one time. The guy selling his collection off the last few years is NOT Rhea Shelley and tends towards some silly hyperbole at times, I've noticed. Nice to see the prices he gets, though, I have a warehouse full of stuff to start auctioning very soon, and these prices are giving me good feelings.

Hey, if my memory was faulty and this eBay seller is A-OK, then I am sorry and it was an honest mistake. I /thought/ I remembered some problems from this seller....again, if that's not accurate, my bad, and I take it back.

I asked while at Gen Con and those Murder at Bulder's Gate Modules will be available for $35 retail if anyone wants to wait.  They didn't say exactly when they would hit mass market though.

nesbit37 - I found them for sale for $35 in the D&D room.  The vendor had the GF9 mod, t-shirts, this mod, etc. for sale along the side wall.  Previous to finding them, several WotC staff/volunteers said the mod wasn't available yet.  guess they were all on the wrong page.

Got 2 copies.

I just checked Amazon.  It comes out in 3 days and they have it for $22.43.  It was a good module by the way - I was able to play through it in one of the Next events.

Preordered mine a few days ago got it for like $20.97. The one you have to buy on eBay is the D&D Encounters release, which is just the first encounter AFAIK, with a couple extras thrown in. Mine is in the mail as well hehe.

Careful Zenfinite, one more he at the end of your last sentence and we'd have thought you were Pipswich...

Another one... maybe these aren't as unusual as I thought they were.
