Gonna be way out of my price range. But one of the best pieces for a UK gamer to have on their wall.

Going Going Gone!  Nice pickup for someone.

An old "friend".

Likes cake.

And there is a Wild Things hiding in this lot:

Does anyone know what the two spiral bound items in the lot are?  Are they just homemade items, or something else?

Well I won this listing.

Was bidding on it for the copy of Wild Things (Which I do not have) plus the decent copies of the core rules books (Since the grandkids play now, I can send them home so they have a set too).



That said, the final sales price of $54.50 was fine with me.

I do not think I overpaid........ even if the two spiral bound soft cover books end up being what I think they are...

Copies of sections of several rules books for easier reference.

IE. Two home made quick reference books.



The five hardbound 2nd Edition books (the three Core Rules Books plus Unearthed Arcana and Tome of Magic) account for about $7 each ($30), and the Wild Things easily goes for upwards of $20-30 for a middling copy and that copy looks fine to me.

You cannot get the 2nd Edition core rules books at Half Price for that much, unless from the occasional Sidewalk sale and even then those copies are likely to be trashed.



Plus two modules (One is a mono of B-1; a module I do not have yet outside the old box set I have). and some other Mono module that you cannot really see at the upper right side of one picture.

A complete thieves book and a couple of other softbound books in that grouping (Elves and complete campaigning).

A couple of other modules and a DMs screen.



Plus the above mentioned two soft cover spiral bound books, which I shall report on once I have the package and have had time to check them out in detail.



The seller had sent me additional pics of those spiral soft cover books front cover (Closer shots) and inside the front covers and the first pages.



If they are home made copies, then they went to a LOT of trouble with them.

They are well done and the inside cover of one of them has the contents of that book printed.



I do not know Who or What R&R Industires is, but they are listed (Copyrighted in fact) on the cover of BOTH of the Spiral bound Books.

See the First and Third pictures below.

The bottom left book in the first two pictures below are the same book.

That is interesting, because I don't remember a BIN in place when I first looked at this listing, then shortly thereafter it was finished, like the BIN was negotiated offline and added later.  A standard tactic of his, IIRC.  In fairness, I was never in the market for this myself, and it is very possible I missed the BIN at my first glance at the listing.

I doesn't appear from the listing that a BIN was added after the fact, but truth be told, even if it was it wouldn't bother me.    The Burntwire brothers are long time members of the Acaeum, they are smart guys and they know what they are doing. They've been at this thing a long time.

If they willingly would have negotiated that BIN, I have no issues with it.  


P.S Aneoth, you are killing me and this thread with  that huge picture.

Deffinately homemade.  No Lou Zocchi stickers, so they can't be legit'.    
Probably some kid playing with his dad's office photocopier on a weekend.

Sure the BBs can look after themselves. Might be worth giving them the heads up mind you. Think they would have been happy to meet their reserve, and the BIN was a bonus. Don't think anything outwith eBay was discussed.

Who's the buyer?

Not bad:
